Jaedon LeDee (Forward) vs. Tristen Newton (Guard)

Jaedon LeDee from the Aztecs has proven not only to be a standout but the actual leader of this team: he has an average of 21.4 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. Not only is his FG% from the field (55.9 %) and beyond the arc (42.5 %) the main threat opponents must control to determine the rhythm of the game, but he is equally dangerous offensively without the ball since he is an incredible passer and coordinates the movements of his teammates.

At the other end, Tristen Newton is the guard on the Huskies team, adding his versatility and leadership to the 15.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game he averages. Newton’s impressive range of contribution to the game together with his free-throw shooting of 80.4% only reinforces his irreplaceability for UConn.

In these affronts, flashing contrasting styles and roles of these main participants will be intriguing. LeDee’s skill at getting inside and his shooting can blow Newton’s team out or Newton can counter that by playing to his strength which is passing and assists.

A Gritty Challenge Ahead for the Aztecs

The Aztecs have shown that they are great at rebounding and defense, their inconsistency on the road games especially when playing against the spread is a big concern in their stats for the season. The hope is their offensive effectiveness, spearheaded by LeDee, will have to be at maximum level if they want to be able to go through the thick walls of the UConn defense.

Huskies’ High-Octane Offense

UConn’s season has come together with the impressive, high-scoring offense and the good defense. Newton’s outside shooting with ball movement make up for a challenging defense that teams must face up to. The scoring depth and the defense of the team is just the tip of the iceberg. Their team stat which shows an improvement from the previous seasons means that the team is at their best playing level.
