NC State vs Purdue

Although UConn has developed into the top team in the nation, the most consistent from beginning to end has been the Purdue Boilermakers. The Boilermakers beat Gonzaga, Tennessee, Marquette, Arizona, and Alabama early.

Then during their Big Ten regular season title march, Purdue blasted their opponents. Overall, even though they had one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the nation, the Boilermakers lost just 4 games.

The loss to Wisconsin in the Big Ten Tournament was no problem as Purdue dominated in the NCAA Tournament, beating Grambling State , Utah State, and Gonzaga with ease and then bouncing Tennessee by 6.

But although Purdue is strong, especially since Zach Edey is unstoppable, they will be hard=-pressed to cover a 9-point spread versus the NC State Wolfpack. No team is playing as well in this tournament save for UConn than NC State.

The ACC squad took care of business against Texas Tech, Oakland, Marquette, and Duke. NC State upset the 2-seed, Marquette, and the 4-seed, Duke. The win over Duke was NC State’s second in their last 6 games.

Edey will get his points. NC State’s top big, though, DJ Burns Jr., is a wide body who will keep Edey from dropping 40 the way the big man did against the Vols. When it comes to the other positions on the court, they are in favor of the Wolfpack, which boasts a legit star in DJ Horne. Grab the points on the Howlers.

Alabama vs UConn

Alabama made an awesome comeback in the second half of their win over the North Carolina Tar Heels. The Crimson Tide was down by 8 points in the first half. In the second half, Bama turned the screws on the Heels, holding sharp shooting North Carolina to 33 points while scoring 43 on their end.

Ah, but in the Final Four, the Tide won’t have a chance to play defense. What makes this Connecticut team special is that Dan Hurley’s bunch is like Secretariat, meaning they can go to the front and wire the field, or hang back and make a big run.

UConn buried Illinois by scoring 30 straight points in an 82-52 rout. Connecticut had scored 28 in the first half. The 49 second half points showcases how UConn can switch gears at a moment’s notice.

Bama will try and push the pace, but they won’t break through UConn’s defense, which means, like in their previous March Madness contests, the Huskies win in a blowout.
