Auburn at Connecticut

The Connecticut Huskies have really taken it on the chin as far as injuries go. They have lost three players for the year, two of which were heavy contributors in Terry Larrier, and Alterique Gilbert. There is still a thin, but good nucleus for Coach Kevin Ollie to work with here. One factor is the emergence of Kenton Facey, who has put together two straight games that are his best in a UConn uniform, the last was a career high 20 points. Facey now gives them an offensive presence inside that has been lacking. Auburn may be a bit tired and flat for this one, as they just played on Wednesday and beat a good Oklahoma team as a dog. They now must make the trip up to Connecticut off an upset win, on short rest, and two days before Christmas, which is a tall order. Make the play on UConn.
