NCAA Tournament Bracket: No. 1 Connecticut vs. No. 16 Chattanooga (West)

The Huskies still have plenty of experience with the tandem of A.J. Price and Craig Austrie.

Connecticut’s size in the frontcourt can create a matchup nightmare for just about any team in the nation, but Dyson’s injury has made the backcourt a major concern.

Connecticut should have no problem with the Chattanooga Mocs on Thursday, but that lack of depth could keep the Huskies from getting to Detroit.

The Mocs finished under .500 in the regular season, then got hot and won their conference tournament on their home floor. Keeping up with UConn would be considered a victory for the Mocs.

The Huskies will be heavy faves but don't bank on a cover. They are only 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Be sure to get your NCAA odds with the Bodog Sportsbook today.
