West Virginia vs. Connecticut, 01/09/2012 19:00 EDT, Score: 57 - 64

Point Spread: -5/-110 Connecticut

Sportsbook: TopBet

Result: Win

Taking UCONN here. Huskies have lost 2 straight to Rutgers and Seton Hall. Not exactly Big East elite. Now they face an always tough West Virginia bunch. Mountaineers in off win vs Georgetown. To me, West Va is a young group. HC Calhoun will have his team circling the wagons here at home. They need a win in a bad way. A trip to ND on deck followed by Cincy and this team can quickly be a free-fall. West Va is pretty much a two-man show. I think the talent, depth, desperation and the full return of Calhoun to the sidelines will get this UCONN bunch a double digit victory tonight. 4* CONNECTICUT
