UConn vs San Diego State Preview & Picks

UConn are tipped to cover a double digit spread as the march into the Elite Eight.

The Huskies fended off a brief flurry to blow out San Diego State a year ago, and they should be too much for the Aztecs once again.

  • UConn are 11-2-0 ATS in their last 13 games
  • UConn are 8-2-0 ATS in their last 10 games as a double digit favorite
  • San Diego State are 2-5-0 ATS as a double digit underdog this season
  • The Under has cashed in 6 of UConn’s last 7 games

Head To Head

  • UConn lead the all-time series 2-0
  • UConn won 76-59 when the two teams last met in April 2023

UConn Form

UConn enter this Sweet 16 matchup on a red-hot run of form, having won nine straight and 23 of the last 24.

The Huskies embarked on a 14-game win streak between late December and the middle of February.

That run was ended by an 85-66 defeat at Creighton, but the responded to win their final five games of the regular season.

UConn then tore through the Big East tournament, beating Xavier 87-60 and St John’s (NY) 95-90, before downing Marquette in the final, 73-57.

The Huskies have now taken their win streak to nine games at March Madness, backing up a 91-52 win over Stetson with a 75-58 victory against Northwestern.

San Diego State Form

San Diego State go into this massive matchup with Connecticut having won four of their last five games.

The Aztecs underwhelmed during the final few weeks of the regular season as they lost three of their last five games, including both of the last two.

They bounced back at the Mountain West Conference tournament by downing UNLV 74-71 (OT) and Utah State 86-70.

San Diego State failed to claim the conference tournament crown though, as they were then beaten 68-61 by New Mexico.

The Aztecs have responded to that disappointment at March Madness, following up a 69-65 win over UAB with an 85-57 blowout of Yale.

Verdict

UConn are on a tear and they have been covering consistently as a double digit favorite.

They also beat San Diego State pretty convincingly a year ago, so we are expecting another Huskies win and cover.
