Our Xavier vs. UConn predictions back Braylon Mullins to light it up from deep in Tuesday’s college basketball matchup on February 3.

The Xavier Musketeers visit the UConn Huskies in a Tuesday 7 p.m. ET tussle at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, Connecticut.

UConn has many weapons who can take over a game. In the first meeting, it was projected NBA lottery pick Braylon Mullins, who hit five 3-pointers. Solo Ball is UConn's leading scorer at 14.6 points per game, and Alex Karaban is one of the most decorated players in UConn history.

The No. 3 UConn men's basketball team (22-1, 12-0 BIG EAST) opened with a 10-0 'kill shot' and never looked back in a 92-60 rout over Xavier

OMAHA, Neb. – After the UConn men’s basketball program took over as the No. 1 team in the country as reigning champions in January 2024, coach Dan Hurley used it as motivation to keep the team going.

Geno Auriemma acknowledged that his team was 'really tested' in No. 1 UConn's 96-66 win against No. 15 Tennessee.

Even after a 30-point win against Tennessee on Sunday, the unbeaten Huskies are looking to eliminate any flaws.
