The 5th-seeded Miami Hurricanes (29-7) and 4th-seeded UConn Huskies (29-8) meet Saturday in a Final Four game at NRG Stadium in Houston. Tip is scheduled for approximately 8:49 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we look at Miami vs. UConn odds from Tipico Sportsbook. Plus, check out our expert college basketball picks and predictions.
Things were looking grim for the Hurricanes in Sunday’s 88-81 Elite 8 win over Texas at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City. Miami found itself down 13 points with just under 13 minutes remaining before going on a 37-17 run to close out the game and clinch the Hurricanes’ 1st Final Four appearance.
Miami has covered all 4 of its tournament games, including wins over the No. 1 seed Houston Cougars and the 2nd-seeded Longhorns, denying both schools a chance to play in their home state at NRG Stadium.
The Over has cashed in 3 straight games for the Hurricanes, with Miami posting 85 or more points in each game. The 3-0 Over run ties a season high, and the streak of 85-plus points in 3 straight is also a season best.
UConn has recorded wins over Iona, Saint Mary’s, Arkansas and Gonzaga to punch its ticket to Houston, and like Miami, it has covered all 4 games in the tournament.
The Huskies have scored 82 or more points in 3 of the 4 outings in the tourney so far, splitting the Over-Under in 4 games in the Big Dance.
UConn F Adama Sanogo had his worst shooting performance of the tournament against Gonzaga, going just 3 of 11, but he still finished with 10 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists and a blcoked shot in 26 minutes. G Jordan Hawkins picked him up, going for 20 points with 6 rebounds, giving him 22.0 PPG in the last 2 outings.
