Winners of six of their last seven, the Shockers carry a decent bit of momentum as a favorite to win the league in their first year. UConn, meanwhile, is floundering with a 7-5 record. And with Alterique Gilbert now out for the year, a key depth piece for the Huskies is gone which could spell disaster moving forward for Kevin Ollie.
