Matchup Analysis
Will UConn’s Offense Prove Superior?
The UConn Huskies have been super dominant in the NCAA Tournament. UConn has won all five games by double digits and faced tough teams, including Iona, St. Mary’s, Arkansas, Gonzaga, and Miami. Miami and Gonzaga are known for their offense. Both teams scored under 60 points against the Huskies, but the shot selection on offense leads to solid transition defense.
The Huskies have shot 36.3% from three, 53.8% from inside the arc, and 75.6% from the foul line. UConn might get to the foul line fewer times than San Diego State. However, the Huskies will undoubtedly shoot it better from the foul line. They’ll also earn more second chances, earning 38.6% of offensive rebounds per game this season.
Turnovers can get high at times and the Aztec defense will start to pile up turnovers here and there, but the Huskies should still have enough offensive firepower to get better looks than San Diego State in this game.
The Aztecs have held teams to 28.1% from three and 49.3% from inside the arc. All of that is great. But UConn, again, has so much more to offer on that end of the floor and it’s not only coming from its starters. The depth for the Huskies is real. San Diego State has held teams to 25.9% of offensive rebounds, but it’ll still be hard to stop UConn on the offensive glass.
Can San Diego State Keep Up?
It’s been an incredible run for the Aztecs. The offense has stepped up when needed and the defense continues to be good enough. After all, they knocked off Alabama and defeated Creighton and Florida Atlantic by one point to get into the NCAA Championship.
The Aztecs have been edging close games, but they still deserve to be in this spot. They’re just likely not going to be good enough against the Huskies. San Diego State’s offense has shot 34.3% from three and 48.8% from inside the arc. The Aztecs aren’t efficient inside but still take most shots around the rim or inside the arc.
UConn has held teams to 44.6% from inside the arc this season, which is 11th in the nation. Opponents have also hit under 30% from downtown against the Huskies.
The Aztecs might get to the foul line at a higher rate, but the team has shot 72.4% from the foul line. That’s a worse percentage than UConn. The Aztecs are also solid on the offensive glass and have done really well over the last two games on the offensive glass. But against UConn, it’s hard to imagine that the Aztecs have major success on the offensive glass.
I’ve got the Huskies earning a win and a cover tonight at the NCAAB odds.
