UK fans thoughts on UCONN matchup?

Not really familiar with either teams. But I think Florida's issue with UCONN was that Wilbekin was unable to penetrate/distribute/create shots. Prather and Young were keeping them in it for a long time. I think the Harrison's can overpower the smaller guards, but stopping their quickness on the offensive end will be a challenge.
The other issue Florida had imo, is that they couldnt really exploit their size advantage down low. Also I like Patrick Young as a player, but hes not a particularly skilled low post player.He came clutch though with those hooks and FT's though. I think Randle and Poythress, and even maybe Johnson can have their way down low.
Keep in mind this is all the opinion of someone whos barely watched the games all year till the tourney. Thoughts on the match up!?

Daniels played a great game inside. UConn is always good for a run too. We'll have trouble with Napier. Going to be a tough one to pull off.

Wisconsin had the 3rd lowest graduation rates in the tournament. Uconn had the worst. LINK
If Uconn wins and they have just an 8% graduation rate that is going to be a big black eye for the NCAA.

I'm just following you around waiting for your next copying and pasting of useless statistics and random facts that have nothing to do with the topic at hand.
To me, they're like oxygen.

UConn played a much better defensive game against UF than I expected. Napier is a beast but so is Randle.
I think we have the horses to outlast them and I think our defense is better than the Gators right now.
Oh, and if it's close we've got Aaron Harrison.

UConn is probably the best on paper matchup for UK this entire tournament
Kansas State was able to match UK's size
Wichita State was undefeated and playing really well
Louisville, everyone thought them or Michigan State were the best team in country going into the tournament
Michigan might have been the best offensive team in the country
Wisconsin very efficient and methodical
UConn... they have a couple playmakers but aren't as complete of a team as Wichita, Louisville, Michigan, Wisconsin

UConn will run by them like they are standing still

UCONN is the fourth or fifth best team UKs played in this tourney... Wichita, UL, Wisconsin, and Mich are all better.

No way.

This also isn't the same UConn that played earlier in the season. They're pretty salty right now. It's going to take UK really owning the post to pull it off. Napier is going to get his.
ETA: I still contend Wichita State was the best team UK has played this tournament. UK played out of their minds to win that game.

Take the under. 120-130 points.
