Arizona at Connecticut

The UConn Huskies are a big surprise, catching fire to win five straight to take the Big East Tournament, and three straight to reach the Elite 8. They enter with a 29-9 mark on the season. We have an Arizona team that made Duke look like an unranked team with their shooting ability and size and athleticism inside. The Huskies have Kemba Walker and he is a weapon, but against a team that can score, rebound, and hit 3's, they are going to struggle to match baskets. The Wildcats have more athletes and an unstoppable player inside in Derrick Williams who will deny Walker the penetration and force him outside the paint where he is less effective. Take the points and play Arizona in this one.
