Central Florida at Connecticut

The big seeds yesterday couldn't score enough points to cover the large numbers. Underdogs of 6+ points went 6-2 yesterday against the number. I think that trend will continue here in this game. UCONN isn't nearly as good this year without Okafor, AJ Price and Rashad Anderson. Backup point guard Antonio Kellogg is suspended for this game, too. Connecticut is 1-6 ATS in first round tournament games since 1997. Central Florida was 24-8 this year, 10-5 on the road and they are riding a eight-game winning streak. They can score as they shoot 57% from the field and 37% from beyond the arc. Don't get me wrong. They can't win here but they'll keep it closer than 19. Three stars on Central Florida.
