UConn looks to avenge national championship loss as No. 4 Huskies face Michigan in Boston
No. 4 UConn face No. 16 Michigan in Boston in an early-season test between teams that met in last season’s national championship game. Michigan won that final, denying UConn a third title in four years, and the article argues the Huskies have motivation and a crowd advantage as they seek a response.
UConn opened with a 40-point win over Gardner-Webb, led by Braylon Mullins’s 20 points, while Michigan beat Oakland by 16, with Roddy Gayle Jr. and Trey McKenney each scoring 17. The article notes that UConn are without Solo Ball for the season and that both sides have questions after substantial changes to Michigan’s roster and coaching staff. It gives UConn as 7.5-point favourites and predicts they will cover the spread.
In short
- UConn meet Michigan in a rematch of last season’s national final.
- The Huskies are 7.5-point favourites in Boston.
- Both teams began the season with wins.
