Key Stats
San Diego State Aztecs
San Diego State is led by Senior Forward Jaedon LeDee. He led the team in both scoring and rebounding in the regular season with 21.1 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. The TCU transfer has delivered so far during March Madness, averaging 29 points and 8.5 rebounds on 68% shooting in the wins over UAB and Yale. He was held to just 7 points in last year’s National Championship Game. If UConn stifles him again, SDSU will be in trouble.
UConn Huskies
UConn has dominated so far in the tournament. They’ve won their first two games by an average of 28 points. The Huskies’ back court of Tristen Newton and Cam Spencer have been unstoppable all season and they’ve kept that trend alive in March. In their wins over Stetson and Northwestern, the All-Big East guards have combined to average 29.5 points and 12.5 assists per game.

Game Prediction
This is the matchup we’ve been waiting for: the rematch of last year’s title game. At 33-3, UConn has been near-perfect in its quest to become the first back-to-back National Champions since 2007. San Diego State is one of the most experienced teams in the bracket and led by a budding star in LeDee. In the end, it’s very tough to imagine the freight train that is the UConn Huskies getting derailed in just the Sweet 16. I think UConn wins the game, but the Aztecs keep it closer than 11 points.
Final Pick
San Diego State +11 and Over 135.5
