UConn vs. San Diego State isn’t the NCAA Tournament title game we thought we’d have this year, but it’s the one we’ve got!

And with the way the Huskies have mowed down their competition this tournament, paired with San Diego State’s late-game heroics, it should be one heck of a matchup.

The national championship game tips off at 9:20 p.m. Eastern time on Monday night and can be seen on CBS.

Over at Underdog, there are ways to get in on the action by picking player over/under props for Monday night’s title game between UConn and San Diego State.

My picks for UConn vs. San Diego State

Adama Sanogo “higher” 24.5 points+rebounds+assists. Sanogo has eclipsed this total in every game during UConn’s NCAA Tournament run. He had 32 against Miami, 26 against Gonzaga, 27 against Arkansas, 32 against Saint Mary’s and 41 against Iona. If he can compile 32 points+rebounds+assists against a defense like Saint Mary’s, he should be OK against San Diego State. Yes, the Aztecs have the best defense the Huskies have played during March Madness, but Sanogo has been on a tear lately.

Jordan Hawkins “lower” 19.5 points+rebounds+assists. Hawkins has been dealing with a stomach bug and was limited against Miami, scoring 13 points and grabbing 3 rebounds. He should be feeling a bit better after 2 more days of rest, but now he has to deal with San Diego State’s dominant defense. That’s a tough task even for guards feeling 100% healthy. Even if the Huskies win the title, expect Hawkins to find putting up stats difficult.

Matt Bradley “higher” 18.5 points+rebounds+assists. Bradley broke out of his tournament-long slump in a big way against FAU, going for 21 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. That’s big for Bradley’s confidence. And if the Aztecs are going to have any chance to keep things close against the red-hot Huskies, Bradley is going to have to be on top of his game at both ends of the court. I like his “higher” option on 18.5 points+rebounds+assists.

How many picks should you make?

The more picks you string together, the higher the “multiplier” or payout should you win. Of course, the more picks you string together, the less likely you are to win because all of the picks have to hit in order for you to win.

A 3-way parlay of the picks I listed above would pay out $60 on a $10 bet:

If you’re feeling more risk-averse on Monday night, I’d suggest eliminating Hawkins from the contest and just watching Sanogo and Bradley go to work. It should be a hard-fought title game in Houston!
