Alabama vs. UConn odds: Win probability, final score prediction for Alabama, Huskies in Final 4
The experience levels for Saturday’s Final Four game between Alabama and UConn could not be more different. Dan Hurley‘s squad is fresh off a national championship in 2023 and has shown no signs of slowing down. Alabama, on the other hand, has never been one of the final four teams standing in the NCAA Tournament.
UConn will be coming out of the East region, taking down Illinois in the Elite Eight in historical fashion with a 30-0 run in the second half. Alabama will represent the West after beating and ending the great tournament run Clemson had been on under head coach Brad Brownell.
Hurley and head coach Nate Oats do have a previous relationship with one another dating back to Oats’ time coaching high school. However, for at least 40 minutes, they will not be friends as a spot in the national championship is on the line.
