The Connecticut Huskies won in a thrilling four overtimes versus Cincinnati on Friday, and they will meet Temple in the American Conference Final on Saturday. Temple is coming in off four straight wins against inferior opponents, but the Owls will face a much tougher test against the Huskies. My money is on Connecticut, as I think they'll ride the wave of emotion coming off the big win.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Free Throws - Hitting your free throws is often the difference between winning and losing in the post-season, and the Huskies are one of the best free throw shooting teams in the country hitting 78.4 percent on the season. The Owls hit just 69 percent from the charity stripe this season, and only 65 percent on the road. The Huskies have shot 83.3 percent from the line in their last five games.

2. Three- Point Shooting - The Huskies have been hot from beyond the arc, shooting 38.2 percent from three-point range over their last five games. They made 10 three-pointers in yesterday's win over Cincinnati.

3. X-Factor - Huskies guard Daniel Hamilton was a beast in the win over Cincinnati, scoring 32 points, with eight assists and a dozen rebounds.

Selection: This is a play on the Connecticut Huskies (10*)
