The first Final Four matchup of Saturday evening will be a battle between Illinois and UConn in Indianapolis.
Neither of these teams were expected to be here when the NCAA Tournament started. Illinois took down 9-seed Iowa in the Elite Eight while the Huskies needed a last-second comeback against Duke in order to advance to the Final Four.
Illinois vs. UConn DFS picks
Here are a couple of DFS predictions for this game via Underdog:
Braylon Mullins, UConn: Lower than 12.5 points
I’m fading Braylon Mullins even after he hit one of the most iconic shots in March Madness history in the Elite Eight against Duke. The reality is that Mullins has been in a giant shooting slump. Even with that make vs. the Blue Devils, Mullins has converted on just 11 of his last 58 3-point tries (19%). He’s gone higher than this total in just 2 of his last 11 contests and is only averaging about 10 field goal attempts per game over that span as well. I don’t think he has the volume or the efficiency history to justify a projection this high.

Andrej Stojakovic, Illinois: Lower than 18.5 points+rebounds+assists
I’m taking the low side of this projection for Andrej Stojakovic. This is roughly his season average and he’s not seen a big minutes increase during the NCAA Tournament. He’s put together some high-profile scoring performances recently, including a 17-point showing on 7-of-9 scoring against Iowa in the Elite Eight. But UConn’s defense is not Iowa. The Huskies are elite on that end of the floor. Stojakovic doesn’t offer much in the way of assists and isn’t a high-volume rebounder, either. Stojakovic probably has to score at least 13 points to have a chance of hitting 19 PRA, but even then it’s not a certainty.
