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 three national championships in the period of four years since John Wooden's UCLA squads won 10 of 12 from 1964 to 1976.


UConn is looking to snap that streak.


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


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


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


Freshman guard hit an iconic shot against Duke in the Round of 8 to get UConn into the semifinal video game, however it's been huge guy 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 3 of the 4 games of the tourney, including his monsterous 31-point, 27-rebound output he had versus Furman in the Round of 64.


Matched up against Cam Boozer, Patrick Ngongba II, and Maliq Brown versus Duke, Reed set up 26 and 9 - a dominant efficiency versus three stout protectors 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 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 only seeing 17.5 minutes of action per video game over the course of the season.


Ahead of the clash between two great teams in this year's competition, let's have a look at Reed Jr.'s player props, chances, and lines on bet365.
