Bold Predictions

Shabazz Napier Does It Again

Remember how it played out the last time Connecticut faced off against Florida? In case you don't, take a look:

Napier's buzzer-beater wasn't the only highlight from that game. He torched Florida's stout defense, connecting on nine of 15 attempts from the field for 26 points and adding four rebounds, three assists and three steals.

The Huskies are one of just two teams to defeat the Gators this yearโ€”the other being Wisconsinโ€”and they have the momentum and motivation to do it all over again thanks to the way Napier has been performing of late.

He's put up some gaudy numbers recently, accumulating at least 19 points in each of his last four contests. It seems as though no one can slow him down.

Florida's been on a great run thus far in the tournament; however, the team hasn't exactly had a difficult path to the Final Four.

Connecticut figures to be the most complete, versatile team the Gators have faced to this point, and another upset victory could be on the horizon for Napier and Co.

Aaron Harrison Takes Over

ST LOUIS, MO - MARCH 23:  Aaron Harrison #2 of the Kentucky Wildcats celebrates after defeating the Wichita State Shockers 78 to 76 during the third round of the 2014 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament at Scottrade Center on March 23, 2014 in St Louis, Miss

If any remaining player in this tournament is riding a huge wave of momentum, it's Aaron Harrison. His buzzer-beating three-pointer to advance the Wildcats to the Final Four was sheer brilliance:

Harrison connected on four of six attempts from behind the arc against the Wolverines and finished with 12 points.

Expect that number to possibly double when Kentucky takes the court Saturday.

Wisconsin has a solid defense; however, the team hasn't exactly been dominating on the perimeter.

The Badgers allowed Arizona to connect on 41.7 percent of its shots from downtown in the Elite Eight. Two games earlier, the Oregon Ducks bucketed eight of 18 attempts from the perimeter for a percentage of 44.4.

Harrison may be the most consistent long-ball threat Wisconsin has faced to this point.

Expect to see Harrison take over the game from behind the arc and light up the scoreboard in a big way. If the game remains close down to the bitter end, it's a fair assumption that he could provide the dagger for a second consecutive game.
