Las Vegas - Dropping into the Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden and gonna grab Connecticut over Providence. These two Big East rivals met twice during the regular season. Providence beat UConn in Rhode Island 73-61 back in early January, then the Huskies got their revenge at home, smushing the Friars, 87-69. Providence was on a pretty sweet roll, but the last four games have been ugly. Aside from the loss at Connecticut, the Friars lost to Xavier, 94-89, and were SMOKED at home against Seton Hall, 82-58. Their only win was against Georgetown, and at 7-24, the Hoyas may be one of the WORST teams in college hoops. Danny Hurley's Huskies have roared down the stretch like Secretariat, winning five in a row and eight of the last nine. Looking at UConn at around -7, and just in case the Friars decide to play their socks off, we'll take the Huskies on the money line.
