Everything is flowing right in the UConn Huskies favor.
Geno Auriemma's squad opened up as six-point favorites and rightfully so, with them running through the competition like Tomb Raider. With the South Carolina Gamecocks on deck for the grand finale, they are finally facing an equally yoked team.
My UConn vs. South Carolina predictions expect Paige Bueckers to have a night to remember in her final game as a Husky.

UConn vs South Carolina March Madness props
Paige Bueckers 20+ points (-320 at FanDuel)
There's just no way that Paige Bueckers doesn't have a remarkable stat line in her final game. All the more, I'm confident in this prop because she didn't have a typical Bueckers night against the UCLA Bruins — recording 16 points on 7-for-17 shooting and going 0-3 from beyond the arc.
Though the Huskies were just fine without her having to put up more, we all know that she's capable of way more.
This is it. The last hurrah. Not only will this be a solid bounce-back game for Bueckers, but it will also be an emotional performance to put a bow on top of an incredible career with UConn.
Expect this points prop to eclipse the Over with ease.
Joyce Edwards 15+ points (+360 at FanDuel)
As South Carolina's leading scorer, I expect Joyce Edwards to do just that: lead the charge.
Racking up 13 points and 11 rebounds against Texas was scratching the surface, but this is the biggest stage of Edwards' freshman year, and she has to show up and show out.
I believe that Edwards takes it up a notch to give the Gamecocks bench a boost of confidence to repeat a similar performance to the one they gave against the Longhorns. If Edwards can get this bench going, then they can manage to hang tough and make this one closer than the result of their February 16 meeting.
Sarah Strong 10+ rebounds (-166 at FanDuel)
After leading UConn to victory over the UCLA Bruins with 22 points and eight rebounds, Strong lived up to her name and gave just that as the Huskies received a well-rounded performance from her. Now it's time for her to do that again, and this time, it's her rebounds prop that I see going Over.
Known for her exceptional defense on the boards and high energy, Strong has proved that she's ready to do all that it takes to help the Huskies seal the deal.
