I think if UConn becomes the modern day 1919 Chicago White Sox Bama has a chance
Seriously though: LET'S GO ST. JOE'S!

I honestly have to say no, not SU. I have Uconn winning the shabang. Alabama was very Hot the last two shooting, the question here in backing them is if you believe that they will remain hot. Of course the Odds are against them. Also, Uconn is rolling Hotter and Stronger then them.. JMO. GL and Aloha CC.
Can they beat them? Yes
Will they beat them? Probably not.
'Bama matches up better athletically than Vandy (who I gave virtually no chance to) with UConn.
UConn is still superior in basically every facet of the game. 'Bama would need a Xavier-like performance to pull it off. They haven't exactly played out of their minds in beating Stanford and Syracuse, but have been solid. I think they will need something special to beat a team that is on a roll in UConn.
I'd say the Huskies roll in this one.

well, there is a reason that bama is +360 to win this game. i think there is some value here based on what i have seen.
don't forget that the tide has played the toughest schedule in the country and uconn has not been tested since the pitt game in the big east final.

Blue,
don't see much value there, but that is just MY opinion. Sure they have played a tough schedule, but they lost a ton of games. UConn played some tough games and have given no indication they are not going to roll over everyone. No one has been in a game with UConn in the tournament yet.
I'm sure they have some common opponents, but I haven't looked it up yet.
I still say 'Bama would have to be at their best and UConn at their worst for the upset to happen.
