NC State at Connecticut

The Wolfpack (20-13, 18-13 ATS) look to halt the Huskies (23-7, 16-10 ATS) bid for a second tittle in what has the marking of a high scoring affair. The high scoring Huskies averaging 78.6 points/game on the season, 6-2 'Over' in non-conference games, and 14-6 'Over' as favorites. With the Wolfpack netting 73.9 points/game, 12-3 to the 'Over' in their last fifteen as underdogs, there should be a lot of 'Over' bettors on this game. However, we' ll buck the trend and play an UNDER knowing the Huskies offensive numbers have dropped 10 points/game during conference and NCAA tourney action while the Wolfpack's stifling defense has allowed only one opponent to score more than 76 points it's last ten on the hardwood. They've held four opponents to 55 or under and come in with a defense allowing teams 63.4 points/game over the ten game span. The Huskies are no slouch in the defensive department holding it's foes to 66.9 PPG on the season (37.8%) helps the 'Under' cause. One star on under here.
