Check out all of our college basketball analysis and expert predictions this season.
Even with Friday's loss to St. John's, UConn remains a March Madness odds favorite, thanks to an elite defense. The Huskies are No. 5 in the country in adjusted defensive efficiency and allowing the fewest PPG in the Big East (66.8).
Dan Hurley's defense has helped the Huskies win their conference matchups by an average of 12.7 points. And the Big East's best 3-point shooting team is poised to pull away from a Butler program ranked No. 111 in adjusted defensive efficiency.
Since December, the Bulldogs are 5-12 ATS and have lost three of their last four by double digits.
Score prediction: UConn 78, Butler 65
🔥 Best UConn vs. Butler player prop: Braylon Mullins Over 2.5 made 3-pointers (+145)
If the Huskies are going to make another run in March, former five-star recruit Braylon Mullins will be the reason why. The freshman is UConn's X-factor, and he's proven that in Big East play by shooting 41% from behind the arc.
Mullins is averaging 2.7 made 3-pointers per game against conference opponents and has hit at least three triples in four of his last 10, including two of his last three.
Butler's perimeter defense is among the worst in the conference, with the Bulldogs allowing the second-most made threes per game in Big East play (9.0).
