Eight is Enough

3 Connecticut vs. 5 Arizona, 7:05 PM ET, CBS

The Wildcats are riding higher than they have been all season after destroying Duke in the Sweet 16, but they now have to go up against the hottest team in the country. UConn has won its last eight games and will push to extend its streak in a matchup of superstars Derrick Williams and Kemba Walker.

Starting Lineups

UConn: Alex Oriakhi (F-C), Roscoe Smith (F), Tyler Olander (F), Jeremy Lamb (G-F), Kemba Walker (G)

Arizona: Jesse Perry (F), Derrick Williams (F), Solomon Hill (F), Kyle Fogg (G), Lamont “MoMo” Jones (G),

Player to Watch: Alex Oriakhi, F-C, UConn

Walker and Williams will put on a show, so it’s up to the supporting cast to make the difference in this game. Oriakhi should be responsible for making sure Williams isn’t too much of a monster on the boards, and that could be the key for the Huskies.

In My Bracket: UConn

When all is said and done, I trust Kemba’s “never-say-die” attitude (and his flopping skills) to carry them to the Final Four and keep their remarkable streak alive.
