2007 Connecticut Basketball Predictions & Season
Preview
Our 2007 Connecticut Huskies
predictions and season preview will help you with
your college basketball betting this year. The Huskies
return every major contributor from last season’s 17-win
squad as well as all five starters. UConn missed the
NCAA Tourney for the first time in 20 seasons last year
and their drought will be short lived as we feel this
year’s team has the talent and experience to make a
Sweet 16 run.

The Huskies will be one of the better frontcourt teams in the country. UConn has
led the country in blocked shots six years in a row now and we can expect the
Huskies to top the charts again with 7’3’’ center Hasheem Thabeet leading the
way. He led the Big East in blocks last season averaging 3.8 per game. As a
team, the Huskies totaled 8.58 blocks per contest. Expect Thabeet to be much
better offensively this season as well after working out with former UConn
standout Emeka Okafor in the summer.
Jeff Adrien will be UConn's frontcourt double double man. He averaged 13.1
points per game and 9.7 rebounds per game as a sophomore to be selected to the
All-Big East second team.
The backcourt houses speed and depth to go around, but they are missing snipers
who can knock it down from the perimeter like former UConn stars Ray Allen and
Rip Hamilton. Jerome Dyson, a 6’3’’ sophomore, got things figured out down the
stretch as a frosh. He is UConn’s top returning scorer at 13.8 points per game
and was selected for the All-Big East second team. This kid is the next UConn
star. Combo guard A.J. Price has huge expectations to live up to and the Huskies
are hoping that he starts this season. With Doug Wiggins bringing instant “O” to
the table and Craig Austrie giving the Huskies another solid reserve, the
backcourt looks to be in good shape.
UConn is on the verge of a title contender if Calhoun can keep some of these
youngsters around a couple years. They’ll likely come up short of a Big East
title, but we expect a good showing in the postseason behind an offense which
you will see push the ball more in 2007-08. The Huskies have speed, size, and
quickness. Experience is their only downfall right now.
The UConn Huskies will pull off a nice turnaround this season and Huskies
backers will profit from it. Make cashing your bets on the Huskies look easy by
