Pick: UConn -11.5 (+100)
San Diego State and Connecticut will meet here on Thursday night in a rematch of last year’s national championship game. This time a trip to the second weekend of the NCAA tournament will be on the line as both teams look to book a spot in the final eight of the tournament with a victory here in this one. These two teams are having similar seasons like they did last year and a similar outcome as expected as Connecticut is the heavy betting favorite coming into this contest on Thursday. However, San Diego State will look to say something about that and pull off the upset over the number one overall seed Huskies here in Boston as these two teams look to continue their NCAA tournament journey.
It has been a solid run for San Diego State and they have gotten the job done on both ends of the court much like they did last season until they ran into the same Connecticut team. Now they will look to get even after their loss in the national championship game last season as the San Diego State Aztecs will look to book a spot in the elite eight with a victory here on Thursday night. The make up of this year’s San Diego State team is very similar to the team that made a run to the national championship game last season but they will look for a different result this time around against Connecticut.
They have looked solid throughout their first two tournament games after surviving an upset bid against UAB in the opening round. They come into this game with 26 victories in their first 36 games of the season, and they will look for their most important victory of the year here on Thursday night as they look to advance to the second weekend of the tournament. San Diego State is coming off of a massive blowout victory against Yale, and they will look for a similar result against a much tougher Connecticut team. They will need to find a way to contain a highflying Connecticut offense that is more than capable of putting up 80+ points in this game on Thursday night.

The defending national champions will look to pick up a victory here on Thursday night against the very same team they beat in the national championship game last season. The Connecticut Huskies will take on San Diego State for the second consecutive year and this time a trip to the third round of the NCAA tournament is on the line. Connecticut has breezed through their opening two tournament games and they will look to do the same once again here on Thursday night in Boston as they look to get a third consecutive victory in the tournament. This is very much the same Connecticut team from last season that lifted the national championship trophy in blowout fashion.
They will look to replicate that blowout performance from the national title game last season once again here in this one. Connecticut has been the best team in the country for the majority of the season and they will look to maintain that narrative with another solid performance here in Boston. They will likely have a home court advantage in the stands being only an hour or so away from their university location and they will look to take advantage of that in this game. They have gotten a job done on both ends of the floor throughout their first two tournament games, and they will look to replicate those performances in this game as well.

Much like the national championship game last year I expect a similar result between Connecticut and San Diego State. As I look for the Connecticut Huskies to pick up a quality victory here on Thursday night at TD Garden in Boston to book their place in the elite eight. I look for the defending national champions to control this game from the opening tip all the way down to the final buzzer. Not only do I look for Connecticut to pick up a quality victory in this game, but I also look for them to cover the spread in the process.
