How to use the Caesars promo code on Monday

The Madness comes to an end Monday night with San Diego State facing off against UConn at Houston’s NRG Stadium.

Neither team was a front-runner to be here in early March but both have played excellent basketball and earned their way to the title matchup.

UConn has had a much easier go of it than San Diego State. The Huskies have crushed every March Madness opponent by double digits, showing that maybe they should’ve been higher than a four seed coming into the tourney. The closest matchup for them was the 13-point win against Miami in the Final Four.

San Diego State, meanwhile, had close games against Charleston, Florida Atlantic and Creighton. That experience battling it out with solid teams may help the Aztecs against a formidable UConn squad.

The Huskies’ defense was absolutely smothering this season, as they held teams to under 65 points and 41 % from the field. While this is impressive, it doesn’t necessarily matchup well against an Aztec team that plays a very methodical pace and also played impressive defense all year long.

San Diego State has been successful all season, and through the tourney, by relying on solid half-court sets on offense and physical defense. They don’t attempt a lot of 3s and don’t run the open floor a ton. There are a lot of similarities between these two teams in terms of style of play.

The Huskies are 7.5-point favorites with the O/U at 132.5. So far, a majority of the spread bets are going on UConn while the moneyline bets are favoring SDSU. The Aztecs are +280 on the moneyline and bettors are banking on the momentum from some close wins to carry them to victory.

That might not be such a crazy bet when analyzing each team’s offenses. While the Aztecs have struggled at times on offense, looking a bit stagnant in the first half, their defense has been impressive and helped keep them in games throughout the tourney.

Notably, the Huskies relied heavily on the 3 ball during the season, shooting just over 25 a game and making a Big East-leading 9.1 a game. The Aztecs have been locking down the deep ball all year, holding teams to just 6.2 made 3s on 28.2 % from behind the arc.

That, in conjunction with the Aztecs’ excellent rebounding, is likely to keep this game close throughout.

Thus, betting on SDSU to cover the 7.5-point spread is a solid wager. That’s a wide margin in any game but especially in a national championship game, more than seven points is a bit too generous for the Huskies.

Another solid bet here is on the under. Both these teams take their time on offense and lock down on defense. When some books opened the total at 136 or so, the under was an easy bet, but even at the current 132.5, the under is solid.

If you’re in a state that allows collegiate player props, Matt Bradley for over 3.5 rebounds is a good option or Jordan Hawkins for under 15.5 points. Bradley will get a chance to collect a few extra boards because of UConn’s heavy reliance on the 3 ball.

Hawkins was attempting a lot more 3s this year, and with SDSU’s excellent defense, he’ll be held in check from deep.
