2* UConn +3 over Kentucky
Okay, I believe. I took the Huskies on Saturday to come in within the number against Florida but will be the first to admit I was taken aback that they walked off that court with the outright. Honestly, my gut instinct Saturday night when this was the march up was established was to take Kentucky to the bank, hard. But the more I dug into this thing and frankly talked with a couple of trusted sources about it my opinion did a 180 degree turn. Huskies head coach Kevin Ollie is proving himself an absolute master at in game adjustments and scheming a game plan tailored to attack his opponent. I was told he was a sharp guy that was well under the radar, well I'm convinced. I don't think anyone can honestly debate which one of these two teams is the most talented up and down the line up. History has proven in these title games on numerous occasions that is not enough. This feels like the Huskies moment. I felt the same way years ago when Villanova took down mighty Georgetown and NC State showed powerful Houston the door. I feel the Huskies match up well enough here and have the horses the pull this thing off. Getting the points is a bonus. Look at all the last minute battles we've seen in this years tourney guys. I say getting the points here is huge. I'm telling you guys, if this U-Conn team can take down Florida they can do likewise here against the Wildcats. No, it's not a triple. I could have tagged this thing a triple and made a pile, being it's the title game. But that is not how I do things. I call it the way I see it. I see the Huskies as a double star here. I like it but I don't toss around triples loosely. Anyway, Napier is clearly on a mission and I say he seals the deal. Could be an instant classic. Best of luck to us and enjoy the game fellas.

Kentucky-UConn are big name programs in an unlikely national title tilt, a 7-seed against an 8-seed. Favorites covered 11 of last 14 national title games; since '90, favorites are 5-1 vs spread in finals without a #1 seed. UConn was 2-0 vs Florida this season; Kentucky was 0-3; Wildcats also beat AAC's Louisville twice, by 7-5 points. UConn lost to Louisville in both meetings, by 12-33 points.
Seven of UConn's last ten wins are by 6 or less points; Kentucky's wins in this tournament are all by 7 or less points, with all four by total of 11 points. Huskies held Michigan State/Florida to 54-53 points in last two games; their guards are playing great defense. Kentucky will be without Cauley-Stein again; they've grabbed 43% of their own missed shots this season, #2 in country. Since 1987, three #3 seeds have been favored in a national title game-- no lower seed has been- those 3's went 2-1.
Calipari is in his third national title game in the last seven years. Ollie is in his second year as a head coach. 10 of last 13 Kentucky games were decided by 7 or less points. Huskies won national title three years ago, Wildcats two years ago. UConn looked dead when they were down 12 to Florida early on; like lot of others, wouldn't be giving UConn points.
