After 3 weeks of
intense online
basketball betting action, the NCAA Basketball Championship game is finally
here. Tonight, we find out who will become the 2024 Champion of College
Basketball as the Purdue Boilermakers take on the Connecticut Huskies. Will UConn
successfully defend their title or will Purdue become the March Madness king? Here
is my professional handicapping take on it with my Purdue vs UConn Betting and
analysis.
As expected, UConn, is once again the favorite team to bet on with a -285 moneyline and a +6.5 pointspread. They made it this far by defeating Alabama 87-74 last Saturday and covered the 10.5 point spread. On the other hand, Purdue took down NC State, 63-50 and put an end to the Cinderella team. However, do they have what it takes to become the new champions?
According to Pay
Per Head Bookie game data, Purdue had to defeat Grambling, Utah State,
Gonzaga, Tennessee and NC State to make it to the Championship game. Zach Edey
is their leading scorer averaging 25 points and 12.2 rebounds per game. In
addition, the Boilermakers’ second leading scorer is Braden Smith averaging 12.2
points and 7.5 assists per game. Last but not least, Purdue has four players
that average double figures in scoring.
As a team Purdue is
scoring an average of 83.4 points per game, shooting 48.8% overall and 40.8% outside
the 3-point line.
Then, we have the
Connecticut Huskies who have been the top team for this year’s March Madness
tournament. So far, they have not been disappointing anyone and have a good chance
of becoming back-to-back NCAA Basketball champions. A feat that has not been
done since Florida back in 2006 and 2007.
Considering the
current lineup for UConn, it is a strong possibility with Tristen Newton leading
the pack. In total, they have 5 players that average in the double figures per
game. In addition, the have a team scoring average above 81.5 points per game
while shooting 49.6% overall and 36.7% from the 3-point territory.

Purdue vs UConn Betting
Pick
Bet on the Purdue Boilermakers at +6.5
The best
college basketball betting strategy would be to not bet on the money line. Instead,
the best bet will be to bet on the point spread for the best value. This is
because Purdue will not go down easily as they are looking to win their first NCAA
Championship title. They made it this far by defeating some tough team and have
a slight chance of winning. However, I expect UConn to win but not cover the
spread with a final score of 74-70.
