Missouri Tigers vs. Connecticut Huskies
This looks to be the game of the day as 2 great teams that have been playing inspired basketball come together in a clash for a trip to Detroit and the Final Four.
Both teams know how to score. Missouri is ranked 4th in overall scoring with 81.7 ppg. The Tigers just dismantled a talented Memphis team by running up and down the court on them. All five Mizzou starters scored in double figures as the Tigers shot 53.2 percent to break the century mark against the nation’s seventh-ranked scoring defense (58.8 ppg) and No. 1-ranked shooting defense (37.2 percent) winning 102-91. Huskies coach Jim Calhoun agrees as he said “What Missouri did to that defense is absolutely astounding. “They advertise it as the 40 fastest minutes in basketball and I’m a believer.”
Connecticut is no slouch in the scoring department either, averaging 78.4 ppg, good enough for the 17th ranked offense in the country. With tremendous 7′3″ center Haseem Thabeet tapping in a ton of easy points under the basket and UConn’s rebounding, ranked #1 the country, we see a ton of points in this game.
The over for Missouri is on a plethora of hot streaks, including 9-1 in the Tournament, 15-7 in non-conference clashes, 7-0 with the Tigers catching points in the Tournament and 8-2 when the Tigers are a neutral-site ‘dog’. UConn is also on a bundle of “over” runs, including 6-1 in the Tournament, 4-0 against the Big 12, 21-8 on neutral floors and 14-4 as a neutral-site chalk.
We see a fun game to watch as they run up and down the floor piling up the points.
