Tarris Reed Jr.: Player Props and Odds in Semifinal vs. Illinois Asher Hyre Updated: 13 hours ago A males's college basketball team has yet to win three championship games in the period of 4 years since John Wooden's UCLA squads 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 tournament video game in 2025 to No. 1 Florida - the ultimate champs.

This year's 2026 group is 4-0 in the competition, and Hurley is wanting to make his program a true dynasty.

A balance team with size, shooting, experience, and gifted freshmen this year's group has all of it.

Freshman guard Braylon Mullins hit a renowned shot versus Duke in the Round of 8 to get UConn into the semifinal game, but it's been huge man Tarris Reed Jr. that has actually increased the ceiling of the team with his phenomenal play in the competition.

Reed Jr., 6-10 and 280 pounds, has actually scored 20+ points in three of the 4 video games of the tourney, including his monsterous 31-point, 27-rebound output he had versus Furman in the Round of 64.

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

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

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 game while just seeing 17.5 minutes of action per game over the course of the season.

Ahead of the collision course between 2 excellent teams in this year's tournament, let's take an appearance at Reed Jr.'s gamer props, odds, and lines on bet365.
