There are some interesting college basketball matchups happening on Monday, and perhaps the best of the bunch is a showdown between the West Virginia Mountaineers (12-4) and the #8 Connecticut Huskies (12-3).
The Huskies will be a 5.5-point home favorite with a total of 138 for Monday’s tilt, and sports bettors are having a hard time deciding which team to take with bet-tracking website showing that the action is split right down the middle.
West Virginia most recently won 65-56 at home over Connecticut last year as 5-point favorites, but the Huskies were 73-62 winners the last time they hosted the Mountaineers.
The Huskies have won outright in 2 of the last 3 head-to-head meetings, and they were listed as underdogs in every single game.
West Virginia and Connecticut have been playing in some low-scoring games lately with all 3 of those recent clashes going under the total.

The Mountaineers have dropped 2 of their last 5 games this season but have still managed to cover the college basketball odds in 4 of those matchups.
They’ve been one of the best bets in the sport with a 9-4 record against the odds, and the Mountaineers have now gone over the total in 5 of their last 6 overall heading into Monday’s showdown.
Connecticut started off strong but has since dropped back-to-back games against Seton Hall and Rutgers despite being small favorites in both.
The Huskies have covered the odds in just 1 of their last 6 overall and don’t seem to be playing particularly well after some early-season magic.
Connecticut has gone over the total in 3 of their last 5, but have actually hit the under in 7 of their 11 games this season. The Mountaineers have gone over in 9 of their 13.
