Where to watch UConn vs. BYU live Date: Saturday, Nov. 15 | Time: 7 p.m. ETLocation: TD Garden — Boston, MassachusettsTV: Fox | Stream: Fubo (Try for free) UConn vs. BYU: Need to know UConn’s two-way dynamism: UConn has had a top-25 offensive unit in each of the last five seasons under Dan Hurley. To be expected. Ho-hum. Its defense, outside of its two championship seasons in 2022-2023 and 2020-2023-24, has been a hindrance for the Huskies. It doesn’t look like that is the case this year. UConn’s offense is a potent one, but they are also currently ranked No. KenPom has ranked UConn No.13 in adjusted defensive effectiveness. The team is also ranked in the top 50 in terms of defending 3-point lines and in the top 15 for defending 2-points. This will be tested against BYU, whose offense can be generated both inside and outside.
Dybantsa debuts on stage: BYU’s star freshman AJ Dybantsa is the No. Dybantsa’s showtime debut: BYU star freshman AJ Dybantsa, the No. It’s his first time in primetime to play against a team from the top 10. We await his performance with great anticipation. In three games, he has averaged 18.7 points and 7.4 rebounds. UConn’s coach Dan Hurley is sure to have a plan in place to limit him. Sharing is caring. It’s a simple concept, and it may be. UConn’s offense has been a ball-moving powerhouse for the past three seasons. It uses complex, long-developing set plays and the key to its success is moving without the ball while swinging the ball in order to throw the defense off balance. The Cougars’ defensive matchup will be determined by how well they do against BYU. The sets and counters of this UConn offensive are so complex that even the best defenses struggle to slow it down. BYU must force UConn to make an unusually high number of turnovers in order to keep up. UConn vs. BYU prediction, pick
Caesars Sportsbook OddsMy prediction is BYU keeps the game within a number, even if it falls short. BYU has a team of talented players that can compete with UConn, even when the UConn defense is improved. Huskies win and Cougars cover. This looks like a final shootout at, say, 80-84. Somewhere in that area. Pick: BYU -6.5
