This was a season Jim Calhoun was building for, running out a deep, experienced, and talented roster that was able to sustain some critical losses and push forward. They bulldozed the West Region, winning with offense and defense and a host of different stars.

The Huskies weren’t having fun a couple of weeks ago. They came into the tournament having dropped three of seven games after losing Jerome Dyson to a knee injury late in the regular season. That included a thrilling, six-overtime defeat to Syracuse in the Big East tournament.

The Huskies are 15-14 ATS and 31-4 overall, and head into Saturday's matchup with Michigan State as 4-point faves.

Whoever is beating the Huskies is going to have to drive a stake through their heart. Be sure to get your NCAA odds with the Bodog Sportsbook today.
