Pro Picks
Columbia at Connecticut
The UConn Huskies have won three National Championships since 1999, and will begin defense of their latest against Columbia tonight at Gampel Pavilion. This arguably may be the most talent-laden crew of any of the three championship teams. The Huskies frontcourt is loaded with the top recruit in the country Andre Drummond to side with Alex Oriakhi, and another stud wing in Deandre Daniels. Jeremy Lamb has already reached All-America status, and point guard Shabazz Nappier is very adept at finding open targets with no-look passes. That isn't good news for Columbia who starts the season with four departed front-court players, and the mismatches abound all over the court. Take UConn for the blowout in this one.
