Scouting Report: UConn

UConn is guided by Guards A.J. Price and Jerome Dyson who have held it down very well thus far. Forward JEff Adrien and Center Hasheem Thabeet anchor a respectable front line. If anything can be used to describe this team, it is the word Balanced. The Huskies gave Memphis a big run earlier this year, and otherwise have not had a very tough schedule thus far, they almost stumbled with Morgan St. in the first game of their season. In order for this team to be successful they need to get good scoring from the guard positions and a solid 25-30 minutes from Thabeet. Thabeet is the wild card, as he at times has been almost unstoppable(12 points, 12 boards, 9 blocks against FAMU) and at times has looked god awful(3 points, 6 boards at Morgan St.) Either way, with the Zags interior size advantage they need to attack Thabeet early and often, as well as keep Pargo out of foul trouble, without the perimeter depth that UConn is blessed with. My prediction, Gonzaga 77 UConn 70.
