Vaughn Dalzell breaks down his decide for the Massive East Event winner with a Remaining 4 ticket.
Massive East Event Winner: UConn (-135)
The UConn Huskies need to go back-to-back because the winners of the Massive East Event and I feel it occurs.
Creighton (+425) and Marquette (+500) are the one two choices in fading UConn except you’re shopping for into St. John’s (+800) at MSG and the comeback of Rick Pitino (not me).
Tyler Kolek’s standing is up within the air for Marquette, so they aren’t one hundred pc and misplaced each conferences to UConn this season. Creighton cut up with UConn, beating the Huskies in a really advantageous spot for the Blue Jays after UConn beat Marquette by 28 factors just a few days prior. If Creighton and UConn meet a 3rd time, I’ve a number of religion that the Huskies can win that sport by a number of possessions.
The Huskies are considered one of 5 groups ranked prime 20 in each offensive and defensive effectivity, per Barttorvik (UConn, Houston, Purdue, Arizona, Auburn). UConn is a prime 100 rebounding staff each methods, prime 10 in two-point offense and protection, plus efficient area objective proportion.
I performed UConn to win the Massive East Event at -135 odds on DraftKings and would exit to -150. I additionally performed UConn to make the Remaining 4 at +110 odds earlier than this strikes to -110 or worse.
The Huskies look as harmful, if no more than my beloved Houston Cougars this season and I would go so far as saying UConn is the least weak No. 1 seed.
As one of many prime two No. 1 seeds, UConn ought to run the desk till the Elite 8, possibly Candy 16. The Huskies have a positive quick journey schedule to MSG and Boston over the following few weeks.
