2023 NCAA Tournament Regional Semifinal: No. 5 Arkansas vs. No. 4 UConn odds

Spread: UConn -3.5

Moneyline: UConn -170, Arkansas +145

Arkansas overcame a 12-point deficit to edge Kansas in a one-point nailbiter on Saturday. With players fouling out on both sides, Ricky Council IV stepped up in the clutch and drained his free throws down the stretch to lift the Razorbacks over the top. Davonte Davis led the Hogs with 25 points and eight rebounds before fouling out in the second half.

UConn has rolled through the first two rounds, beating No. 13 Iona 87-63 and No. 5 Saint Mary’s 70-55. Danny Hurley’s team has been one of the top-ranked all season by the computers, if not by the voters. But they have plenty of balance in the backcourt, and Adama Sanogo up front to provide one of the toughest matchups in college hoops.
