Vegas Insider has the line at UConn -2 and ESPN Game Tracker has UConn with a 58% chance to win and Temple with a 42% chance. That tracker has spiked in UConn’s favor since 2 days ago.
These predictions do not put much stock on the first game in which Temple blew UConn out, shot lights out and exploited mismatches against UConn’s bigs repeatedly.
Temple has since lost 2 meaningful road games at Tulsa and at Memphis pretty decisively and secured a 1 point win at USF. They need to win tonight to keep their NCAA hopes alive as they are a soft 21-8.
UConn needs to win its last 2 to finish the regular season above .500. The team still has a shot at an NIT bid.
