First Play:
UConn -1
The biggest thing in this matchup is the size advantage that UConn has. The four guard lineup (if Nardi plays) will need to be lights out shooting if Villanova has any chance to stay close in this game and they'll need to use their defensive quickness to always be in a good defensive position to make up for their size dis-advantage. I think this is too much to ask for. The big game experience upfront with Boone and Gay and the 3 point ability of Marcus Williams along with their deep bench and superior coaching will lead UConn to victory in a hostile environment at the Wachovia Center. |
