The No.9 seed Connecticut Huskies take on the No.8 seed Georgetown Hoyas this Wednesday afternoon at Madison Square Garden to kick off the second round of the 2011 Big East Men?s Basketball Tournament. Tip-off is set for 12 p.m. and the game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.

Connecticut showed little signs of rust in its opening round game against No.16 seed DePaul after dropping four of its final five games to close out the regular season. The 97-71 victory over the Blue Demons as a 14 ½-point favorite was hardly a surprise from a team that was in the top 10 rankings earlier in the season. The win raised the Huskies record to 22-9 straight-up and to 14-11 against the spread.

This game was never in doubt as Connecticut kept the pressure on from the opening tip to build a 17 point lead by the half. Kemba Walker led the way for UConn in the Big East opener with a game-high 26 points while Jeremy Lamb added another 19 points in the winning effort. The Huskies completely dominated an out-manned DePaul team by outrebounding the Demons by a margin of 44-20.

Georgetown suffered its own slide down the stretch with four losses in its final five games including a 69-47 loss to Cincinnati as a four-point road underdog in the season finale. The Hoyas 10-8 SU record in conference play was just good enough to earn a bye in the first round. They finished the regular season 21-9 SU (15-14 ATS).

Austin Freeman comes into this tournament as Georgetown?s biggest scoring threat with an average 17.8 points a game. Chris Wright is the team?s second leading scorer with 13.1 points a game and he leads in assists with 5.4. The Hoyas are averaging 71 points a game and shooting 48 percent from the field.

The Huskies beat Georgetown 78-70 earlier in the season as a 2 ½-point home favorite, but this time around it?s the well-rested Hoyas turn to come away with the win to earn a shot at No.1 seed Pittsburgh in Thursday?s quarterfinals.

The Pick: Georgetown 74-71

 

2011 Big East Men's Basketball Tournament- Round Two: Connecticut Huskies vs. Georgetown Hoyas

Big East Tournament Hosts Load Of March Madness Contenders

Fans of college basketball betting will have a lot to look forward to this week as the Big East Tournament kicks off on Thursday and doesn?t let up until Saturday night. Though the first-round features the bottom of the Big East barrel, it?s an imposing barrel nonetheless.

Nine of the 16 teams are ranked amongst the top teams in the nation.

Despite finishing in the Associated Press? Top 25, the No. 21 Connecticut Huskies finished just ninth in the conference with a 9-9 record, a testament to the otherworldly depth of the division.

The Huskies will take on the last-place DePaul Blue Demons who limped to a 1-17 record in the conference on the year. Though the match up isn?t likely to inspire a particularly memorable game, it?s an excellent opportunity for bettors to play against the spread and get excited for betting on NCAA basketball.

With March Madness right around the corner, Jim Calhoun and the Huskies will have their work cut out for them. Following a presumed victory over DePaul, Connecticut will take on Georgetown and, if they?re lucky, three more top-ranked opponents after that before the weekend is over.

The Hoyas may have finished ahead of Connecticut in the standings at 10-8, but not in the AP polls, finishing No. 22.

Can the Huskies hold on for a miraculous ride to the conference finals? Don?t hold your breath. Also in action this weekend will be No. 3 Pittsburgh and No. 4 Notre Dame, not to mention Syracuse, Louisville, St. John?s, West Virginia and Cincinnati (all of whom finished in the AP Top 25 as well).

All the action starts this Thursday though, as the Huskies look to prove that their .500 record doesn?t limit how far they can go this spring.
