Prediction

The way these two teams have been playing throughout the tournament, I can’t see this as a blowout on either side. Duke clawed their way to a win over St. John’s on Friday, while UConn did the same against Michigan State. Both teams have been playing terrific defense, which favors a lower scoring affair. Taking the points here seems like the smart move.

Pick: Connecticut +5
