Memphis vs UConn Bets And Dan Hurley

Memphis vs UConn bets and Dan Hurley has us piqued at OSB. The two teams facing off have familiarity. Hurley knows how to play athletic teams like this with a huge guard presence. Haggerty carries a presence but Memphis is far more than the Sophomore guard. There lies plenty of forward depth and scorers who can bang the glass. The Tigers have had a few tests early but not like what Connecticut has experienced. Hurley's squad has been the hunted and remains the hunted.

Frankly, UConn plays tournaments like they are life and death. That is one of the main reasons why they are so successful. This is a team that is ready for anything. If anyone watched a few how they played North Carolina and Gonzaga last season, it was a preview of what was to come during March and April. UConn kicks it into a different gear when needed. Few, if any, teams can match that kind of shift.

Let us set up this Monday afternoon preview. Can UConn win another big game and set up for the next round of the Maui Classic?

UConn Can Win By Double Digits

Memphis vs UConn bets beg the question can UConn win by double digits. The last two NCAA Tournament runs have seen UConn win by 10+ points every single time. It was uncanny how the Huskies just put the hammer down and teams could not respond. Even Purdue, in last season's final had zero chance. Could the same thing happen on Monday afternoon? The Huskies play a relentless style

Again, UConn has its moments. Every team does. The Huskies did lose three times on their way to a second straight national title. There was even that early loss to Kansas and the egg against Seton Hall. Anything is possible. Maybe Penny Hardaway has learned a thing or two in his time at Memphis. The expectation is that UConn ultimately does pull away on Monday afternoon. UConn has four or five players that can lead scoring at any time.

Although, Alex Karaban leads the way averaging more than 16 points a game. Liam McNeeley turns a lot of heads. The Freshman from Texas plays more physical than his 210-pound frame suggests. Tarris Reid has become a large force inside for Hurley's Huskies. Memphis will have difficulty slowing him down on both ends. The defense, so far, is in excellent form yielding a mere 51 points a game (third in the nation). Ironically, Iowa State ranks number one and is also in this tournament from Hawaii.

Memphis has solid depth which helps. However, can Dain Danija stay out of foul trouble? The Senior is a presence and can help clear the boards to set up the Tigers' perimeter attack. When it comes to the Memphis defense, they may not be able to slow down UConn enough. Ultimately, the Huskies should win by 10+ points.

Memphis vs UConn Player Under Or Over?

Memphis vs UConn player under or over is next. One of the fun aspects is trying to figure out who will lead their respective teams scoring wise. Better yet, can they get over their projected player point total? Then, it becomes a question of how much. Anyhow, PJ Haggerty is getting Even money to score 20+ points on Monday. Does he get his points? How many shots would it take? Haggerty gets to the line nine times a game. That, besides his 13.3 shot attempts are a big reason why he should get to 20.

After that, there lies the Huskies' duo we mentioned. While Karaban at 15+ points is reasonable, do not sleep on Liam McNeeley. McNeeley is more than capable of a big performance in a large spot. He gets to the line a respectable 5.25 times per game and some believe that could be higher on Monday. His athleticism and shot will cause fits for Memphis. That +110 number is large. Some even think this may creep up to +115 before bottoming out.

Therefore, taking McNeeley to score 15 or more points is a safer wager for Monday afternoon.

What About Tuesday?

Tuesday gets some rightful headlines here. Hopefully, Kansas and Duke live up to the hype as the number one team in the nation goes up against Cooper Flagg. Flagg keeps impressing and helped the Blue Devils shut down Arizona ice cold. Flagg will face a Bill Self team that looks more disciplined in the early going compared to the second half of last year.
