What a dandy of a game tonight in Connecticut. Two terrific teams who can both easily find themselves in the final four. If it wasn't for a team called Oklahoma, these two teams would be 1 and 1a in the country. Considering the magnitude of the game and the fact that both teams are so evenly matched, I have to go with the x-factor, which is the charged up home crowd. If anyone saw last nights game between Duke and BC, the crowd in BC played a hugh role down the stretch providing BC with a ton of momentum. Tonight at UConn that crowd will be as loud as any this year. I understand the loss of Dyson plays a major role in this game, but Thabeet's presence on D can easily change the game. It can turn a team who loves to feed its bigs or drive to the hoop into a team who gets happy firing three balls all night. To live an die by the three is a dangerous way to play a big game.
I will go with the home crowd and the big defensive presence in the middle. A great Big East game.
