PICK: I’m going to stay with UConn. This should be a pretty fun matchup, though. The Huskies are coming off a nice performance against a good Iowa State team. UConn shot 41.5 percent from the field with 16 team assists in that one. The big difference was the rebounding differential: UConn owned the boards 48-19 (21-7 offensive). 

As for Oklahoma State, they’re off to a decent start and have scored 77 or more points in all five of their wins. The Cowboys probably won’t be able to hang around for very long in this one, though.
