(12) Georgetown (9-1, 4-2 ATS) at (2) UConn (11-0, 4-3 ATS)

The Big East Conference season tips off with a matchup of Top 15 heavyweights, as Georgetown visits the XL Center in Hartford for a matchup with the second-ranked Huskies.

Since their only defeat of the season – a 90-78 neutral-site setback to Tennessee as a 3½-point underdog on Nov. 28 – the Hoyas have ripped off six straight victories, all at home, with five coming by double digits. On Tuesday, Georgetown rolled over Florida International 76-38 as a 29-point favorite. The Hoyas have cashed in all three lined contests during their six-game winning streak.

UConn survived a scare against Gonzaga in Seattle nine days ago, needing overtime to pull out an 88-83 victory as a three-point underdog. The Huskies then kept their perfect season intact with Friday’s 75-55 victory over Fairfield, coming up just short as a 22½-point home chalk. Eight of UConn’s 11 wins have been double-digit blowouts, including seven by 19 points or more.

These teams met just once in the Big East season last year, with the Hoyas eking out a 72-69 victory, but failing to cover as a 9½-point home favorite. It was Georgetown’s second win in a row over the Huskies after losing the previous 11 series clashes. The home team is on a 5-0 SU roll in this rivalry, but just 2-3 ATS. Going back to 2000, the Huskies are 7-3 ATS against Georgetown, and the underdog is 3-1 ATS in the last four battles.

Georgetown split its only two non-conference games against Top 25 opponents (losing to Tennessee, beating Memphis at home), while UConn went 3-0 SU and ATS against Top 25 teams in non-conference play.

UConn ranks 14th in the nation in scoring (82.7 points per game) and eighth in field-goal offense (50.2 percent). Defensively, the Huskies give up 61.6 ppg on 37.8 percent shooting. Meanwhile, Georgetown puts up 76 ppg (49.2 percent), but it’s the defense that has carried the Hoyas, as they give up just 55.6 ppg on 33.4 percent shooting, figures that rank 11th and first in the nation.

Georgetown is 3-8 ATS in its last 11 games on Monday, 2-6 ATS in its last eight following a victory of more than 20 points and 3-13 ATS in its last 16 after a non-cover. Conversely, the Huskies are on ATS streaks of 10-4-1 against teams with a winning record, 8-2-1 on Mondays and 7-3 after a non-cover, but Jim Calhoun’s squad is 2-5 ATS in its last seven home games.

For the Hoyas, the under is on runs of 12-4 on the road, 36-17 in Big East play, 4-0 on Mondays and 11-5 after a spread-cover. The under is also 4-1 in UConn’s last five on Monday, but otherwise the Huskies are on “over” stretches of 9-3 overall in lined games and 5-0 in Big East play. Finally, the total has alternated in the last seven series meetings, with last year’s game going over the posted price.

ATS ADVANTAGE: UCONN

Temple (5-5, 5-4 ATS) at (18) Villanova (11-1, 4-4 ATS)

Villanova, winners of three in a row, wraps up its non-conference schedule with its annual Big Five city rivalry matchup with Temple, which enters The Pavilion on a two-game slide.

Since falling to Texas 67-58 as a two-point underdog in New York, the Wildcats have knocked off Big Five rivals St. Joe’s (59-56) and La Salle (70-59), as well as Navy (78-68). Villanova, which also beat city rival Penn 69-47 as a 14-point road favorite, is trying to sweep the Big Five rivalry for the third time in the last four years.

Temple is just 3-5 in its last eight games (2-4 ATS in lined action). The Owls followed up consecutive upset victories over Penn State (88-72 as a 5½-point underdog) and then-No. 8 Tennessee (89-72 as a eight-point underdog) with consecutive road losses at Kansas (71-59 as a 10½-point underdog) and Long Beach State (76-71 as a six-point chalk).

The Wildcats have won and covered three in a row against Temple, including last year’s 101-93 victory as a two-point road chalk. Villanova is 7-2 SU in the last nine meetings and 8-2 ATS in the last 10 (5-1 ATS last six), and the SU winner has cashed in each of the last nine clashes.

Villanova, which splits its home games between The Pavilion (its campus arena) and the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, has won 22 in a row on campus and can match a school record for wins in that venue tonight.

The Owls have scored at least 70 points in seven of 10 games this year and is shooting 45.1 percent from the field. Villanova has scored at least 70 in eight of its 11 contests, and is shooting 44.9 percent. Defensively, Temple gives up 69 ppg (43.7 percent), and the Wildcats yield 58.8 ppg (38.2 percent).

Temple is on ATS streaks of 21-9 overall, 9-3 after a non-cover and 9-2 after a SU defeat, but the Owls are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games against Big East foes. Villanova is 1-4 ATS in its last five at home, but 11-4-1 ATS in its last 16 versus Atlantic 10 competition.

For the Wildcats, the under is on runs of 23-7-1 overall, 16-5 at home, 13-3-1 in non-conference play, 5-1 versus the A-10 and 6-0 after a SU win. For Temple, the under is on stretches of 14-6-1 on the road, 4-1 on Monday and 9-2 after a SU loss, but the over is 6-1 in the Owls’ last seven against the Big East.

However, the over is 3-0 in the last four Temple-Villanova matchups.

ATS ADVANTAGE: VILLANOVA

Cincinnati (10-2, 3-3 ATS) at Memphis (7-3, 5-5 ATS)

Memphis will try to claw its way back into the Top 25, while Cincinnati will attempt to make its case for a national ranking when these teams clash at the FedEx Forum.

The Tigers have alternated wins and losses in their last four games (1-3 ATS), including last Monday’s 87-49 rout of Drexel as a 22½-point home favorite. However, prior to that blowout, John Calipari’s squad suffered losses to Syracuse (72-65 at home) and Georgetown (79-70 on the road in overtime) that were sandwiched around an uninspiring 59-51 home win over Arkansas-Little Rock.

Cincinnati has rebounded from a 10-point home loss to city rival Xavier with four straight victories, most recently pounding Arkansas-Pine Bluff 79-49 in a non-lined home game a week ago. Seven of the Bearcats’ 10 wins have been double-digit blowouts, and in their lone true road game, they knocked off UNLV 67-65 as a 5½-point underdog.

These teams were once members of the same conference, but since splitting they’ve continued their rivalry with an annual meeting. Last year, Memphis won 79-69 but came up short as a 12½-point favorite. The Tigers have won the last three clashes by margins of 10, 33 and 10 points, and despite last year’s non-cover, they’re 5-1-1 ATS in the last seven head-to-head tussles.

Both squads can score the ball, as Cincinnati averages 74.4 points on 44 percent shooting while Memphis nets 77.6 ppg on 41.8 percent shooting. Defensively, the Bearcats give up 61.5 ppg (37.3 percent) while the Tigers yield 63.7 ppg (37.8 percent).

The Bearcats are on ATS runs of 4-1 on the road, 9-3 in non-conference play and 5-2 on Mondays, but they’re 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine against Conference USA. Memphis is on a slew of ATS slides, including 3-8 on Mondays, 0-4 versus winning teams, 1-4 after a non-cover, 1-4 after a SU win and 1-7 when coming off a victory of more than 20 points.

The over is 6-1 in the last seven Cincinnati-Memphis battles. Also, the over is on runs of 5-0 for the Bearcats overall, 6-1 for the Bearcats on the road, 5-2 for the Bearcats versus Conference USA, 8-1 for Memphis against the Big East and 5-1 for Memphis against winning teams. However, the under is 5-2 in Memphis’ last seven home games.

ATS ADVANTAGE: OVER
