UCONN vs New Hampshire Prediction

I’m on UConn here. This is a big number, but we saw UConn cover a similar number against Sacred Heart, and last year, UConn had multiple 30+ point wins in non-conference play against inferior opposition. My concern for New Hampshire is that they gave up 103 to UMass in their opener, and allowed UMass to get whatever they wanted on the floor. I think this one could be covered by halftime. Give me the Huskies.
