3 UConn vs. 6 Cincinnati, Saturday 9:40 PM ET, TBS
In a not-so-surprising Big East third round match-up, Cincy looks to avenge their regular season loss to UConn - a game in which UConn led all but 29 seconds of - and end UConn’s post season winning streak at six games.
Probable Starters
UConn: Alex Oriakhi C, Roscoe Smith, F, Tyler Olander F, Kemba Walker G, Jeremy Lamb G.
UConn: Alex Oriakhi C, Roscoe Smith, F, Tyler Olander F, Kemba Walker G, Jeremy Lamb G.
Cincinnati: Yancy Gates F, Rashad Bishop F, Ibraham Thomas F, Dion Dixon G, Cashmere Wright G.
Player to Watch: Yancy Gates, F, Cincinnati
This 6’9”, 265 pound forward leads Cincy in both scoring (11.9) and rebounding (7). He will need to step up big time to offset a streaking UConn Huskies team led by Kemba Walker.
My Bracket: UConn
This will be a thrilling Big East showdown. While Cincinnati is a tremendous defensive team, UConn is just too hot right now and Cincy won’t have enough to stop them.
