A wild NCAA Tournament has all led to the Finals in Houston on Monday, when the Connecticut Huskies will take on the San Diego State Aztecs in the National Championship.
UConn has steamrolled through the NCAA Tournament with five straight double-digit wins by an average of over 20 points per game.
San Diego State needed a last-second jumper from Lamont Butler in order to get past Florida Atlantic, and has won back-to-back games by a point — the first team in history to win both the Elite 8 and Final Four games by a point.
In this article, you’ll find game, team, and player props for this intriguing Final Four matchup.

UConn vs Miami Player Props
Adama Sanogo: Over 7.5 Rebounds (-129) • Caesars Sportsbook
WAGER: 1 Unit
Sanogo is a dominant rebounder and has been one of the best players in the tournament. The Mali native averages 7.6 rebounds per game across the season, and has cracked double digits in three of the tournament games, going over 7.5 boards in each game.
San Diego State is arguably the best rebounding team UConn has faced yet, but I still trust in Sanogo to be on the glass and go Over this number.
Alex Karaban: Over 1.5 3Pt Field Goals (+139) • Caesars Sportsbook
WAGER: 1 Unit
The freshman is a lights-out shooter for this UConn team, and in a game where the Huskies could struggle to score points, they’ll look to him to knock down shots.
Karaban has made two threes in six of his last eight games and is shooting over 40% from downtown this season. With the way that UConn shares the ball, the forward will get plenty of opportunities and has taken six threes in the last two UConn wins.
Getting this at plus money almost feels like stealing.

UConn vs San Diego State Team Props
San Diego State: Under 62.5 Points (-115) • DraftKings Sportsbook
WAGER: 1 Unit
San Diego State plays at one of the slowest tempos in the country, ranking 270th in adjusted tempo according to KenPom. UConn is 214th in adjusted tempo and 8th in defensive efficiency, so I’m targeting San Diego State’s point total under.
San Diego State has the tendency to bring teams into rock fights, and UConn’s defense has held two high-powered offenses — Gonzaga and Miami — below 60 points in back-to-back games.
The Aztecs might hang around in this game, but if so, they’ll need to rely on their defense. They’ll look to slow the game down and keep the ball away from UConn’s potent offense, so even if they’re able to keep this game close, it’s going to be low scoring.
UConn: Win By 6+ Points (-185) • DraftKings Sportsbook
WAGER: 1 Unit
You have to lay the wood for this one, but with how dominant UConn has been on both ends of the floor in this tournament, I’m willing to do so.
The Huskies have dominated this tournament on both ends of the floor and have won all five games by double digits, including three wins of 20+ points. It’s a gauntlet to get through the tournament as it is, but this is one of the better matchups the Huskies have had.
UConn can match SDSU’s athleticism and intensity on the defensive end, while they continue to click offensively with a dangerous and balanced unit with multiple guys who can beat you.
