A young Connecticut team looks to bounce back after a bad opener against New York. Despite youth, there is considerable talent for Connecticut, including former Stanford star Chiney Ogwumike, the first overall pick in the April draft, who had 13 points and five rebounds for the Sun. Connecticut is on a 5-2 ATS run going back to last season, plus the Sun is 4-0 ATS following a defeat. Defending champion Minnesota is a huge favorite, but it's the home opener, so they will be raising a banner, getting their rings, and celebrating the championship. Will their focus be on the game? In addition, Minnesota is short-handed without Rebekkah Brunson, Monica Wright, and Devereaux Peters due to injury. Play Connecticut.
