UConn vs Alabama Preview & Picks

UConn are tipped to cover a double digit spread as they march into the Championship Game.

The Huskies have been utterly dominant for several months, stacking up wins and covers during a red-hot run.

  • UConn are 13-2-0 ATS in their last 15 games
  • UConn are 10-3-0 AST in their last 13 games as a double digit favorite
  • Alabama are 3-6-0 ATS as a betting underdog this season
  • The Under has cashed in 8 of UConn’s last 9 games

Head To Head

  • UConn lead the all-time series 2-0
  • UConn won 82-67 when the two teams last met in November 2022

UConn Form

UConn enter this Final Four matchup on an outstanding run of form, having now won 25 of their last 26 games.

The Huskies have not tasted defeat since they were beaten 85-66 at Creighton back on February 20.

They responded to that loss with a four-game win streak to close out the regular season, and then marched to the Big East tournament title, beating Xavier 87-60, St John’s (NY) 95-90 and Marquette 74-57.

UConn’s dominant run has continued at March Madness, as they have reeled off four dominant victories to make it to the Final Four.

The Huskies opened with a 91-52 blowout of Stetson, before ruthlessly knocking out Northwestern, 75-58, San Diego State, 82-52, and Illinois, 77-52.

Alabama Form

Alabama head into this game having bounced back from a bad SEC tournament showing with four straight wins.

The Crimson Tide stumbled late in the regular season as they lost three of their final five games, and they failed to turn it around in the conference tournament.

They were paired with Florida in the quarter-finals of the SEC tournament and suffered a surprise 102-88 defeat.

Alabama responded to that defeat with a 109-96 win over College of Charleston in the first round of March Madness, and they backed that up with a 72-61 victory over Grand Canyon.

The Crimson Tide then stunned North Carolina in the Sweet 16, beating the Tar Heels 89-87, and backed that up in the Elite Eight with an 89-82 victory over Clemson.

Verdict

UConn have been on a tear almost all season long and are showing no signs of slowing down.

The Huskies are winning games and piling up covers at a rapid rate, so we are sticking with them despite the large spread.
