The NCAA Championship will pit the 5-seed from the South Region San Diego State Aztecs (32-6, 19-16-2 ATS) against the 4-seed from the West Region Connecticut Huskies. SDSU was 32-6 this season and 19-16-2 against the number. UConn finished at 30-8 record and 26-11-1 against the number. SDSU needed a buzzer-beater over FAU to reach the final while UConn took care of business once agains with an easy win over Miami. SDSU has a top-tier defense but its offense is limited. They have a lot of seniors on their team and are big and strong in the frontcourt but they do not have anyone that matches up well with UConn's big man Sonogo. The Aztecs are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS loss and 6-1 ATS in their last seven games following a straight-up win. SDSU killed FAU on the offensive boards down the stretch but UConn has the size to negate that and actually had better-rebounding numbers. UConn has a lot of offensive weapons and can score in many different ways. The lack of offense will show in the one for SDSU. UConn rolls to another early win.

Plau on UConn.
