Pick title: 2* Connecticut -5 1/2
Pick Date: 03/28/2009
Pick description:
After taking a look at rebounding figures, I'll bite with Connecticut today. The Huskies are +59 in rebounds in their last four games. They had a 48-33 edge on the boards against Purdue. Meanwhile Missouri is -16 in rebounds in their last three games including wins over Memphis and Marquette. There's no denying this tournament has been a chalk player's dream as squares are just killin' the books. As someone that called for the Tigers to upset Memphis on Thursday, I believe it's a tall order to get past Calipari and Calhoun in a 72-hour stretch. Take Connecticut.
