UConn vs Villanova Game Preview


Why UConn Will Win

The Huskies might be a bit inconsistent offensively, and the shooting has struggled from the outside lately – and didn’t show up at all in the loss to Creighton a few days ago – but the inside presence and the blocks and big defensive plays are still there.

Georgetown was able to shoot well in its 96-73 loss to the Huskies last week, but that’s been it for the offensive pop over the six games against this D.

UConn is still 14th in the nation an on top of the Big East in opposing shooting percentage, and now it just has to get that O going just a little bit.

As long as the defense continues to keep games low scoring – four of the last five games the Huskies held the opponent to under 60 points, but …

– Latest Polls AP | Coaches

Why Villanova Will Win

Villanova should be able to handle itself just fine in a low scoring fight.

It has a problem in shootouts when its own three-point shooting isn’t hot. When it gets down to setting up the offense and moving the ball around to get the right shot, things are usually fine. When it gets to make it about free throws, forget it.

No one in the nation is better on the free-throw line – the Wildcats are crushing it lately, hitting well over 90% in 2022 – but they have to get there first. That means attacking UConn on the inside, accepting that a few blocks will be coming, and plan on getting hacked.

UConn might play great defense, but it also commits a ton of fouls.

What’s Going To Happen

Can Villanova all but put this away with a few threes?

As good as UConn is, it isn’t great at stopping teams from three, and Villanova keeps teams to 31% or better from the outside. UConn doesn’t have to bomb away, but it has to make the shots it takes.

How important are the threes? The Huskies are 14-1 when they make 29% or more from three, and they’re 1-4 when they don’t. Villanova should be able to D up when it has to.

Why UConn Will Win

Did the Huskies find their groove?

They’re trying to get hot at just the right time to make a big push to get into the fun in Indianapolis, and they’re going to ramp up the intensity that much more after coming up with two straight wins.

They were great from three against Xavier and Providence, and that’s the key. When they hit 40% or more from the outside they’re 6-0, and Villanova is one of the worst teams in America at guarding from three.

Opposing teams are connecting on 38% from the outside against the Wildcats, and even better, the Huskies are amazing at getting on the offensive boards.

Keep shooting from the outside, hope to generate second chances points, and keep up the pressure. But …

Why Villanova Will Win

Yeah, UConn will be fired up, but Villanova will be extra motivated, too, after a clunker of a blowout loss at Creighton a week ago.

Yeah, the Wildcats are bad at guarding from three, but UConn doesn’t jack up enough from the outside to keep up if and when the machine gets going.

The Huskies might make their threes, but they can’t match Villanova shot for shot if this gets into any sort of a shooting contest.

The UConn defense doesn’t force turnovers, and the defensive rebounds aren’t there to go long with its ability to hit the offensive glass.

What’s Going To Happen

No, really, Villanova has been awful at guarding from three, and it proved costly in the loss last weekend.

The Wildcats have allowed four of the last five opponents and six of the last eight to hit 40% or more from three, and UConn will take advantage and bomb away from the start.

It won’t be enough to get the win over a team looking to get back on track, but it’ll be enough to make it close.
