UConn vs. Florida CBB Prediction:
UConn is currently riding one of the most impressive winning streaks in the sport. The Huskies are 13-0 straight up and 13-0 against the spread in their last 13 NCAA Tournament games. UConn has won the past two national championships while winning and covering each game along the way. Their head coach Danny Hurley is one of the best in the sport and he’s accumulated enough roster talent in Storrs this season to potentially make this a game. I know many people have Florida making the Final Four and beyond, but I’m going to ride this UConn train until the wheels fall off. The pick is UConn +9.5 points over Florida at Bovada.lv.
