Looking to extend its undefeated streak in conference play, No. 4 UConn will travel to Providence Wednesday for a Big East showdown.
Considered a blue blood in college basketball, it's certainly no surprise that UConn is back to being a dominant squad. The Huskies currently sit at 14-1, tying the program's best 15-game start in the Dan Hurley era. UConn enters this matchup as a strong favorite.
On the other hand, Providence has struggled a bit more this season. The Friars (8-6) kicked off conference play with two straight losses to Seton Hall and Butler, with the latter going into double overtime. The squad secured its first Big East win over St. John's just last week.
