More than a dozen teams in the Top 25 are in action on opening night of the college basketball season, including defending national champion Connecticut, which hosts Northern Arizona. While UConn lost several players to the NBA, the Huskies will be led by 7’2″ center Donovan Clingan, a member of the preseason Big East second team. UConn also welcomes swingman Stephon Castle, the conference’s preseason freshman of the year.
The Huskies have odds of +1400 at bet365 to win the national title for a second consecutive year. UConn is listed just behind favorite Duke (+1100) and second choice Kansas (+1200) on the futures market. Two others, Purdue and Kentucky, are the co-third choice with UConn at 14/1. All five teams will open their respective seasons on Monday night.
