Alex Karaban keeps coming up big in our Michigan State vs. UConn predictions and March Madness picks for March 27.
Alex Karaban has been big for UConn in the NCAA Tournament, and his inside-out production counters a stingy Michigan State defense. Jason Logan likes the Huskies' senior to score more in the Sweet 16. Seeing the UConn Huskies and Michigan State Spartans in the Sweet 16 is as commonplace as a superhero blockbuster hitting theatres in the summer.
And here we are, with a new Spider-Man movie on deck and the Huskies and Spartans squaring off in D.C. Friday night. Alex Karaban has been a superhero for Connecticut in the NCAA Tournament, and my Michigan State vs. UConn predictions expect him to don the cape again. With so many questions, Karaban has been the answer for Connecticut. His inside-out production is peaking at the perfect time and fits best against this Spartans defense.Karaban has been that, making 8 of 17 from beyond the arc in the tournament. He was very active against UCLA, which runs a similar rim-protecting scheme. Michigan State’s biggest defensive weakness is “inside out” 3-pointers – an area UConn thrives in thanks to Karaban. He’s excellent at moving without the ball and gets most of his open looks on kickouts from dribble-drive and release passes from the post. This Sweet 16 showdown of perennial power programs is probably the most “flip a coin” contest of the week. Connecticut has been able to take advantage of two foes missing key pieces inside, but MSU’s paint protection puts a lot of pressure on the Huskies' underperforming backcourt. has picked up the pace as a scorer in the opening two games, but he’s going to be a key part of containing Karaban. Tom Izzo may roll out of a smaller lineup, with Coen at the No. 4 as he’s athletic enough to chance Karaban around and contest jumpers.will be in attack mode against a shaky UConn backcourt, hitting shots and getting to the free-throw line vs. a Huskies team that can get in foul trouble.: Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
