NCAAB Picks: Connecticut vs. Duke Basketball Odds – Nov 27th, 2009: One of the best games of the young season takes us to the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden in New York, NY, for the Preseason NIT. This afternoon, beginning at 5 PM ET (2 PM PT) the 13th ranked (4-0) Connecticut Huskies [+2½] get set to take on sports betting odds favorites and No.7 Duke Blue Devils [-2½].   

For UConn, there are some serious question marks coming into this Basketball Odds showdown. In its first three games, the Huskies haven’t looked like a 13th ranked team, beating William and Mary, Colgate and Hofstra by an average of 11 points. However on Wednesday, UConn took LSU apart with a convincing 81-55 victory. “It was a breakout game for us. It was the first time I saw ‘Connecticut’ play this year,” coach Jim Calhoun said. “We were aggressive.”

For Duke, legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski isn’t taking this team lightly, as he understands the Huskies have the firepower to compete against any school. “I know their personnel,” coach K said. “And I know how good their guards are.”

Duke has started the season by winning its first four games an average of 35 points before facing Arizona State on Wednesday. Holding the Red Devils to 38% from the field, Duke prevailed, 64-53 thanks in part to 43 combined points from Jon Scheyer, Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler in a 64-53 victory.

“A championship here would mean a lot,” said Scheyer. “this is like a Final Four or a Sweet 16 because you play two games in three days against two good teams. We’ll be ready and so will they.”
