7:10, CBS – #10 Maryland vs. #7 UConn – (Ian Eagle/Jim Spanarkel/Jamie Erdahl)
Mackey Arena

Line: Connecticut -2.5/130

Hearing a couple of people on TV and Sirius XM have UConn in the Final Foul.

I definitely like Uconn to the sweet 16. I think they match up very well with Alabama.

Danny Hurley is 2-0 in the 1st Round of the NCAA's, getting URI wins vs... [ahem]... Creighton... and then for no apparent reason, vs Oklahoma with Trey Young.

I disagree on Alabama. I have watched Bama a fair amount this season due to family connection, and I don't think UConn will stay within 10 of Alabama. Booknight could go off, but I think Bama has the athletes to contain him. IMO, Bama is an Elite 8 team. Plus, we all know that the Big Ten is the greatest conference ever this year, so I don't see how a lowly Big East team has a chance against such a powerful foe to even get a chance at Bama Hurley and Turgeon on the same floor will be quite a pair. Half the fun will be watching those two seeing who can out-whine the other.

RJ Cole still in concussion protocol according to Hurley.
