San Diego State vs. UConn Predictions
It’s interesting to see a spread of 7.5 in a National Championship game, but here we are. UConn has blitzed its way through the bracket. San Diego State has given its fans much more anxiety on its path to this final game. That’s probably understating the nerves Aztec fans have felt this March.
So, will the Huskies continue to do their thing? If that’s the case, will they cover the 7.5 point spread? It’s hard to believe that the Aztecs will roll over and let that happen. San Diego State is a fiesty, veteran group that will scrap through every possession to keep themselves in the game.
All signs point to UConn winning this game. They have the edge in offensive efficiency, rebound rate, shooting, and nearly every other important category (except the two sides are nearly even in defensive efficiency). However, the 7.5 point spread could be a little too much. San Diego State will put up a fight, you can count on that. This number probably belongs somewhere closer to 5 or 6 points in favor of the Huskies. Getting the line up to three possessions at UConn -7.5 feels like overkill. Look for the Aztecs to keep this one (somewhat) close.
The Pick: San Diego State +7.5 | -110 at DraftKings Sportsbook
