Illinois Preview UConn Preview

Arizona Preview Michigan Preview

---

RBROWNBETS: At the moment we have no official selections on either one of Saturday's games. although we're leaning toward UConn and Michigan. A few thoughts on the matchups: Both games figure to be close, so that increases the likelihood of overtime. It also means we could see fouling strategy in the final minute, so keep this in mind if you plan to bet the total. At DraftKings the Illinois/UConn total is 139.5, and the total for the Michigan/Arizona game is 157.5. ... Typically, we'd avoid backing a team coming off an emotional victory like UConn is, but it's hard to envision Dan Hurley not having the Huskies emotionally ready. As he said this week, "UConn doesn't hang banners for Final Fours." UConn beat Illinois 74-61 earlier this season, but Illinois is playing its best basketball. Illinois is currently a 1.5-point favorite, so if you do bet on UConn we'd recommend buying onto the 2. ... Arizona has a significant edge at the guard position in Saturday's second game, but that is somewhat negated by the fact that the Wildcats don't typically take a high-volume of 3-pointers. If he stays out of foul trouble, Aday Mara, Michigan's 7-foot-3 center, could be the difference. Michigan is also the older team, and that may count for something. If you like Michigan consider the moneyline. ... Check back Saturday for our official plays.
