The Duke's Sports
UConn (+1') for 2 Units
Although we like San Diego State and their outstanding frontcourt, we like UConn a bit more with their backcourt led by Kemba Walker who can take over a game. The Huskies are playing their best stretch of basketball now and we'll look for Walker and company to deliver. The Huskies do some of their best work on a neutral floor at a strong 18-5 ATS. SDST does guard the perimeter well (except when Fredette plays against them) but Walker is more of a slasher who can hurt defenses with penetration or off the dribble. We don't think the Aztecs' backcourt has the ability to stay with him. In addition, UConn has a deeper bench and can hit free throws at a higher percentage, which can be one of the keys down the stretch. UConn the call.
