I guess you could make a case that both teams need this win but after the Bearcats downed SMU on the final regular season game I think they find themselves on the right side of the bubble. As for Connecticut not so much. For them it's a win or not in scenario and I think they get it.
Another main reason I want to back UConn here is the sweep factor. Cincinnati won both regular season games and as we all know beating a team 3 times in one season is not easy. Both games were hard fought close games, I expect the same thing again but I believe the Huskies find a way to grind out a win to keep their hopes of a tournament bid.

Early day total play:
Illini/Purdue over 139
