SPOKANE, Wash. – Paige Bueckers and the UConn Huskies are set for their Sweet 16 matchup against the Oklahoma Sooners where they are heavily favored to win and move on to the Elite 8.

Bet UConn To Continue Steam Rolling Through Opponents

There is no other way to put this than UConn is going to continue boat racing their opponents and Oklahoma is just another team in their way. The Huskies have rolled through their first two March madness opponents with a 69-point win in the first round and a 34-point win in the second round.

Strengthening their case even more, UConn has a top-10 offense in the country putting up 81.7 ppg while also holding the country’s number one overall defense allowing just 51.5 points to their opponents. Their +30.2 average point differential not only leads the country but is also the highest differential since the 2019-20 season.

UConn is also on a run against top-25 opponents having won by at least 19 points against their last three. That includes a 29-point win against a top-5 defending champion, South Carolina.

Not to discredit Oklahoma at all, however, they’ve lost their last two against top-5 opponents by 18+ points. They are also 4-6 overall in 10 games this season against top-25.

Also, UConn is the outright favorite right now to win the women’s March Madness as National Champions with +155 odds.
