Free Betting Pick: East Carolina Pirates +6
The underdog has covered the spread in 5 of the last 6 meetings between the UConn Huskies and East Carolina Pirates. UConn has yet to win a game on the road this season, and while East Carolina is nothing great this season, they should come into this game feeling confident given the state of the UConn program. East Carolina has a dynamic freshman in Jayden Gardner, and I think he continues to show the AAC why he is a force to deal with in this league for years to come. UConn wins but fails to cover, 76-73.
