UConn Huskies vs. Alabama Crimson Tide Team News and Key Performers

UConn Huskies Team News

UConn have multiple soon-to-be pros, making it difficult to single out one as the key impetus. It's a relentless, ultra-efficient offence and a suffocating, impenetrable defense. Great passing, top rim protection, good rebounding, and excellent coaching. It's an unstoppable force still hungry for even more success.

At the backcourt, Senior Guard Tristen Newton is averaging a team-high 15.0 PPG and 6.8 APG, adding 6.2 RPG, while Cam Spencer is putting up 15.3 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 6.2 APG and 1.4 steals while shooting a team-best 44.0 from 3-point range. They both are capable scorers at all levels and impact the game in any and all ways possible.

Connecticut's front court is anchored by 7' 2", 280-pound sophomore center Donovan Clingan (12.8 PPG, 7.4 RPG, 2.4 BPG), who had a double-doubles against Illinois. Sophomore Alex Karaban and freshman Stephon Castle round out the Huskies young starting forwards.

Alabama does not have the same experience in big moments that UConn has, but they come into this one with plenty of momentum.

Senior Guard Mark Sears tops the Crimson Tide in scoring (21.5 PPG), and posts 4.2 RPG and 4.0 APG. He also puts up 1.7 steals and 0.1 blocked shots.

Guard Aaron Estrada is averaging a team-leading 4.6 APG. He's also putting up 13.3 PPG and 5.5 RPG, making 44.8 percent of his shots from the field, and 30.3 percent from beyond the arc resulting in 1.3 trees' per game.
