Alabama vs UConn Picks & Prediction

The UConn money train rolls into Phoenix on Saturday as the Huskies battle Alabama in the Final Four.

The defending champions have won and covered 10 consecutive NCAA Tournament games dating back to last season’s title. 

During this stretch, Dan Hurley’s squad has won every one of these games by 13 points or more, including winning by an average of nearly 28 points per game in this tourney alone.

Alabama is headed to the first Final Four in program history following last season’s disappointing exit as a top-seed in the Sweet 16. 

The Crimson Tide held off a pair of ACC squads in the last two victories by knocking out North Carolina and Clemson, while scoring 89 points in each win.

Alabama’s 2-point defense was stellar in the first three wins of the tournament, but Clemson converted on 58% of its 2-point attempts in the Elite Eight.

On the flip-side, UConn ranks 4th in the nation in 2-point shooting at 59.1%, while limiting opponents to 43% on 2-point tries, which is 2nd overall.

Alabama relies on the 3-point shot to be successful as the Tide drilled 16-of-36 attempts from long range in the win over Clemson.

Nate Oats’ team ranks 21st in the country in 3-point percentage at 37.1%, which is Alabama’s highest clip from long distance in his five seasons as head coach.

It's hard to fade UConn at this point, even laying double-digits against this explosive Alabama offense.

Pick: UConn -11.5 (-110)
