• These two teams last faced off on February 16, in a game that UConn won 87-58.

The Huskies and Gamecocks meet once again in the title game this year. Our UConn vs South Carolina pick focuses on what is likely to be a very closely contested and low-scoring game between the two. Both teams are full of top talent and capable of taking home the big prize.

UConn Looks Unbeatable

UConn’s last trip to the Finals came in 2022. They lost that title game to South Carolina by 15 points, with many calling it a “passing of the baton” from one dynasty to the next. Yet, despite injuries to stars Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd, the Huskies never really faded. Finally healthy this year, UConn is hitting their stride at the right time. They have been completely dominant.

South Carolina Seeks Revenge

South Carolina lost by nearly 30 points a month an a half ago to UConn, an uncharacteristically poor result for the Gamecocks. Despite being the defending champs and winning two of the last three titles, South Carolina enters this game as notable underdogs because of that past result. South Carolina got on track in the semifinal, but faces an uphill battle against UConn.

UConn Huskies vs South Carolina Gamecocks Pick

UConn went from being a 2-seed to by far the favorite to win the tournament after getting red-hot down the stretch. They enter this game once again favored, likely because of their recent dismantling of this very same South Carolina team. With past results aside, however, UConn is vulnerable. The Gamecocks have a deeper bench and a higher floor of talent. They’ll win here.
