Ron's Tuesday College Basketball Bank Shot Best Bet

This is the ultimate sell-high spot with UConn and I am fading the Huskies here. The Huskies are the hottest team in the country and look unstoppable right now, but as we know in sports, things aren't always what they seem. UConn is in a clear letdown spot here after absolutely demolishing another top-10 team in Marquette on Saturday. UConn is overvalued now because of wins like that and the overall 14-game win streak. The fact of the matter is, UConn has not been tested much on the road in conference play and this will be one of the toughest matchups of the season for the Huskies. Creighton is experienced, more battle-tested, and desperate for a statement, upset win. Last season Creighton was victorious in its home game vs. UConn and I think we see the Blue Jays earn another W here. Fundamentally Creighton can compete and the Blue Jays are the superior team in the shot quality department. I think UConn's defense gets exposed a bit in this one and I don't think the Huskies can make the tough shots for 40 minutes in a hostile environment. UConn had a huge advantage on the glass against a bad rebounding team in Marquette, but that shouldn't be the case against a Creighton team that has been top-20 in defensive rebounding % the last two seasons. Give me the points with the Jays.
