The Uconn Huskies (35-3) match up against the Alabama Crimson Tide (25-11) in the Final Four on Saturday night in Glendale.
Uconn is coming off a dominating win against Illinois in the elite eight, where big man Donovan Clingan ate the Illini’s lunch with 22 points, 10 boards, and five blocks.
The Crimson Tide are out here after outlasting Clemson in a three-point shootout. Mark Sears led the way with 23 points and seven made threes.
Do the Huskies win and get one game closer to back-to-back titles or do the Tide have something to say about that?

Key Stats
Uconn Huskies
Uconn is back in the final four seeking their second straight national title. These Huskies have been dominant all tournament long, winning every game by double figures. Uconn has got dudes everyone you look. Whether it’s in the backcourt with Tristian Newton and Cam Spencer, or down low with Donovan Clingan and Alex Karaban. If you’re going to take down this squad, you will have to be on your A+++ game.
Alabama Crimson Tide
Game Prediction
Now I know that Uconn has been a cover machine this tournament, but they have not seen a team that shoots this high clip of a from three-point land. Alabama has the potential to light it up from beyond the arc and give the Huskies a scare. Being at the Uconn vs Illinois game in Boston last week, I came away from the game questioning the Illini strategy. They kept driving straight at Clingan and not playing on the perimeter, which then led to runouts for Uconn. I look for the Tide to actually play to their strengths. Uconn will be able to play at whatever place Bama wants, but give me the Tide to keep this thing closer than 11.5.
Final Pick
Alabama Crimson Tide +11.5 (-108)
