ok another similar looking situation.
a higher ranked team marquette No.10 AT lower ranked NO. 21 Uconn.
marquette has a better record too. conf 11-2 vs conf. 7-6 by Uconn.
first glance ? marquette should win right ? then why is Uconn favored?
i'm playing Uconn. at Home ( + revenge spot )
This might provide some insight into why UConn is favored in this game.

All of the ratings/projections above are from statistic based data while the AP is someone's opinion.
The line is UConn -4 which is right in line with the projections above.
Not criticizing. Just offering some insight.
I appreciate your insight.
I'm leaning UConn tonight as well.
