2016 NCAA Tournament: South Region Preview, Predictions

Colorado Buffaloes (8) vs. UConn Huskies (9)

The media is so split on this matchup because both teams can drain. The Buffaloes are deadly from beyond the arc and are a handful on the glass, while the Huskies were one of the nation’s most efficient teams from the charity stripe. Neither team will be an easy out, and the scoreboard will likely be a reflection of either the turnover-prone Buffaloes or the poor interior defense of the Huskies.

OUR PICK: Colorado
RPI: UConn
538: UConn
