The Hoyas are a flawless team in terms of what they face from UConn in this contest. They shoot over 50%, have the size inside which is actually better and more experienced than UConn, and have shooters all over the floor. UConn is really not a three-point shooting team and with Adrien and Thabeet bottled up inside, it will force them to make shots on the perimeter against good defending guards. UConn is 1-11 the past two seasons vs. good shooting teams (those hitting 45%+). They are also 2-13 over that span vs. good defensive teams that allow 64 or fewer points per game. The Huskies were down 21 to Notre Dame in the first half before they were let back in the game, and we look for them to be in a similar situation here. But they aren't getting back in.
