National Championship: UConn vs. Purdue
Betting the spread
Huskies record ATS: 27-12
Boilermakers record ATS: 21-15-2
Both teams have rolled through the tournament, but UConn’s run of dominance has been unbelievable. Nobody has been able to touch the Huskies as they have a +125 point differential for the entire tournament. The only time they faced any kind of danger was in the first half of Saturday’s Final Four tilt against Alabama and that’s only because they shot around 40% in the first half.
Even with the two-time national player of the year on the other side, I think UConn covers in the title game.
Pick: UConn -7
