Wichita State has dropped three straight against the number, and things may not get better for their backers when they hit the road to take on UCF on Wednesday night. The Shockers are catching 6.5 points, but their key Guard, C. Porter Jr. is questionable with an ankle issue.

UConn has been destroying teams this season with a perfect 13-0 record while outscoring opponents by an average of 13.6 points per game. Can they do the same against a Villanova team that has started to play well after a sub-par November?
