A.Sanogo u7.5 Rebs+105

DK/BetMGM: Sanogo has grabbed 8.3 boards/game over his last 16, but that was at 66.8 possessions per game. This game proejcts for 62 possessions, meaning that 8.3 becomes 7.7. However, that's against the schedule Sanogo has faced in those 16 games. St. Mary's is the 2nd best rebounding team in the nation when we look at adjusted offensive and defensive combined, in large part thanks to Saxen and Bowen. That bumps Sanogo's projection down to 6.3 for us. Love getting plus money on this under.

A.Ducas u1.5 Ast-120

BetMGM: UConn's disruptive defense makes getting assists on them incredibly difficult. They force turnovers at a slightly higher rate than average and they grab offensive boards at a higher rate than average to prevent 2nd chance assists opportunities. But the real value is in the next two of the four factors. They foul A LOT (45th highest foul rate in nation of 363 teams) meaning more possessions end at the FT line without an assist. They also are 11th in eFG% defense, meaning more shots are missed. When shots do go in, they allow the 12th lowest assist rate nationally at 41% compared to 51% average. This is also a bit of a tempo-down game as UConn is slower than the average pace. Projecting Ducas for 1.0 assist with a 72% chance of staying under in 39 minutes of playing time.

L.Johnson u16.5 Pts-120

He tore up the WCC (17.7 ppg), but this is UConn (17th best defense in the country). He relies on getting to the rim (141 of his 176 made baskets are in the paint), and UConn is elite at protecting the paint (roughly a 52% eFG% is well below the nat’l average). His jumper is iffy (only 2 mid range jumpers all season - that’s where you can beat UConn). And the athleticism of UConn’s wings should keep him at bay. Struggled vs VCU (12 pts on only 7 FGA in 40 mins) - expecting the same vs UConn.
