Dive into my UConn vs Alabama same-game parlay:

NCAAB Same-Game Parlay: UConn vs Alabama

Matchup: UConn vs Alabama

Pick 1: UConn -11.5 (-114)

All of the betting trends favor the Huskies. UConn is the first team since 1979 to win and cover the spread in 10 straight NCAAB Tournament games. They're also on an unreal 26-6 run ATS since 2009, while covering double-digit spreads in 14 of those contests. Oh, and they're 10-1 SU and 9-2 ATS in the Final Four all-time.

On top of that, UConn is 31-1 SU and 27-5 ATS in 32 non-conference games over the last two years. When the Huskies are favorites of under 20-points, they're 20-1 both straight up and ATS. Plus, Final Four favorites of five or more points have gone 13-8-1 ATS since the turn of the century.

Dan Hurley's squad have COVERED the spread by a remarkable 60.5 points in through five March Madness tournament games. UConn have the depth, scoring, playmaking chops and size to blow Alabama off the floor.

Pick 2: OVER 161.5 Total Points (-108)

Each of these teams is capable of scoring points in bunches, as both sit in the top-five in the nation in offensive efficiency.

Alabama are also ninth in pace and will look to score in transition at every opportunity. The Crimson Tide have no shot at keeping this game competitive if they allow UConn to control the tempo and play the game in the half court. Alabama will need to be chucking from deep early and often.

At the same time, Dan Hurley has unleashed his team's transition game over the past two rounds to devastating effect. Both UConn and Alabama have the scoring depth and shooting ability to push this game above the 161.5 point total. Bet the OVER.

Pick 3: Donovan Clingan 8+ Rebounds (-320)

Sometimes you need to take the juice to cash a same-game parlay. We're playing it a little safe here to win. Depending on your risk tolerance you can also bet Donovan Clingan to have 10+ rebounds at -128 to take our UConn vs Alabama same-game parlay to +499.

Regardless, Clingan's 7'2, 280-pound frame give him a huge advantage over the Crimson Tide on the glass. Alabama's largest player is the 6'11, 230-pound Grant Nelson, who is really more of a swingman wing-type player. Cling Kong is going to get his. The Bristol native has averaged 10 rebound per game during the Big Dance, and has yet to finish with under 8 rebounds.

Enjoy the Final Four games with this same-game parlay, and remember to bet responsibly as the March Madness Tournament rolls on.
