Uconn Huskies
The Huskies have been incredible in this year’s NCAA tournament. They went 30-0 in the Elite Eight game, hounding No. 3 ranked Illinois to win by twenty-five points. UConn won by thirty points in the Sweet Sixteen round and defeated Stetson by thirty-nine points in the round of 64. The “UConn International” has the best offense, and in All-American Tristen Newton, Cam Spencer, and Alex Karaban, Dan Hurley’s team usually runs riot on the court. Count on the defense duo of Donovan Clingen and freshman Stephon Castle, and the Huskies become a well-rounded team. Top-ranked in offense and defense, UConn seems set to land a sixth NCAA tournament championship.
Alabama Crimson Tide
The Crimson Tide is in new waters with the program’s first Final Four appearance. Alabama has overcome adversity and perception to earn its spot in the last four. In the Sweet Sixteen, it stopped No.1 seed North Carolina and overcame a 16-point deficit to beat Clemson 89-82. The Tide has no fear, either of their opponent or of missing from beyond the arc. Their game plan is shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot. And it’s been flowing.
