Shane’s Free Pick
Both of these teams had one bad half on Thursday but the team I trust more is UConn. It seems Shaka Smart’s teams always start to tighten up the closer it gets to tournament time and they looked so awful in the first half. UConn is going to run up the score and they are going to win a shootout here. Back the Huskies. I also really like the over to cash.
