Tarris Reed Jr.: Player Props And Odds In Semifinal Vs. Illinois

Tarris Reed Jr.: Player Props and Odds in Semifinal vs. Illinois Asher Hyre Updated: 13 hours ago A men's college basketball team has yet to win 3 nationwide championships in the period of four years given that John Wooden's UCLA teams won 10 of 12 from 1964 to 1976.


UConn is aiming to snap that streak.


After winning back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024, head coach Dan Hurley finally lost a competition game in 2025 to No. 1 Florida - the ultimate champions.


This year's 2026 team is 4-0 in the tournament, and Hurley is looking to make his program a real dynasty.


A balance group with size, shooting, experience, and talented freshmen this year's team has everything.


Freshman guard Braylon Mullins hit a renowned shot against Duke in the Round of 8 to get UConn into the semifinal game, but it's been big Reed Jr. that has actually increased the ceiling of the team with his extraordinary play in the tournament.


Reed Jr., 6-10 and 280 pounds, has scored 20+ points in three of the four video games of the tourney, including his monsterous 31-point, 27-rebound output he had against Furman in the Round of 64.


Matched up against Cam Boozer, Patrick Ngongba II, and Maliq Brown versus Duke, Reed installed 26 and 9 - a dominant performance against three stout defenders in the paint.


Overall on the year, Reed Jr. has averaged 14.7 points and 8.8 rebounds per video game while shooting a Big East-leading 62.1% from the floor.


Reed and UConn will have another difficult fight inside when they line up against Zvonimir and Tomislav Ivisic of Ilinois.


Both over seven-feet high, Zvonimir averages 2.0 blocks per video game while only seeing 17.5 minutes of action per game throughout the season.


Ahead of the collision course between two great groups in this year's tournament, let's have a look at Reed Jr.'s gamer props, chances, and lines on bet365.
