Despite the line movement for the National Championship at college basketball betting sites, betting on UConn to cover and the score to go over the 132.5 is still likely the best bet to wrap up the college basketball season.

UConn has won every game by at least 13 points, while San Diego State has continued to narrowly advance with back-to-back wins by one point.

Similarly, UConn has averaged nearly 20 points per game more than San Diego State has allowed per game.

With that dominant offense that has been led by Adama Sanogo and Jordan Hawkins, the Huskies should have no problem scoring enough points to both cover and have the total go over 132.5.
