Our Duke vs UCONN Prediction
Duke is the clear favorite in this game; however, the over looks to be the best betting option. For being the overall number one seed, Duke has had some close calls throughout the tournament.
One thing that has been consistent for Duke is their offense. As mentioned, the Blue Devils are averaging 77.3 points per game and have had two of their three games go over the total. Defensively, they have also been sound, allowing an average of 66.6 points per game.
UConn, on the other hand, has also been solid offensively, averaging 74.0 points per game, while allowing 63.6 points per game. That said, the total has gone over in just one of the Huskies' three tournament games.
Despite that, this is a game where the offenses will need to take over. Both teams have more than enough playmakers to suggest a high-scoring game; therefore, our UConn Huskies vs Duke Blue Devils prediction is: Over 133.5 Total Points.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
