No.2 UConn WIll Win Big Over Notre Dame

I like UConn over Notre Dame 81-66. The only way I see Notre Dame having a chance is if Ryan Ayers and Kyle McAlrney catch fire and finish the day 12 of 26 from behind the arc. In UConn's 69-61 win over Notre Dame at the Joyce Center, McAlrney had a terrible game going 3-8 from behind the arc and 3-15 from the field. Notre Dame only shot 30 percent on the game, while UConn shot 40 percent.

One thing is certain is that UConn will win but will they be able to cover the 11.5 points? The safe bet is the under at 149.5 points total. I personally think UConn will continue its dominance at Gampel and really take control of this game midway through the second half. Look for Jeff Adrien to bounce-back with 16 points and 11 rebounds

Harangody will get his 20 plus points and get the best of Thabeet inside on the offensive end. Thabeet will block seven shots. Johnnie Bird will miss a three pointer as the students go crazy. Stanley Robinson will be a non-factor ( I am thinking 8 points and 6 rebounds). I can see Kemba Walker scoring 16 to 20 points in this one.
