Here's a thought: the D that UConn has layed on their opponents in the first half of each game so far this season is the best I have seen in 30 years of watching this team. That isn't an accident. They are focused. They are fast with serious quicks. They get the game. They get a hand in the passing lanes. They anticipate. This is no accident.

No team can prepare for what this group is going to do to them.

BINGO!!!

I think UConn's defense will be the difference maker in this one. Here's why:

Canada averages 8 assists a game (a large share of the 22 a game for UCLA as a team). Geno will have Kia and Dangerfield deny her the ball all night and make someone else make plays. I see the UCLA struggling to get into its offense as a result. Advantage UConn.

UCLA senior Guard Kelli Hayes has had a rough shooting start to the year (.368%). UConn plays excellent defense even when all 5 opposing players can score. If only 4 of the 5 are scoring threats? Look out. Sagging off of Hayes will even further make life difficult for UCLA's posts.

I actually really like UCLA's team and coach. I do think it's important for UConn to get off to a good start, but ultimately I think UConn's defensive pressure will be too much for UCLA. UConn wins it 84-66.

You forget that every time we play a team, the player that has been shooting poorly up til then has a breakout game against us

80-79 in OT. Huskies win, coaches not happy though...

3rd top 25 team in 3 days, flying cross country and without Katie Lou keeps it close. UConn 82-69

The line is UConn -20. Up from 18 around 6:00 Eastern.

That's a lot of points all things considered.

82-67 Uconn. Collier shows up and shows out! Megatron with a hint of what’s to come.

Good call!!

 

[MilfordHusky]

I'm concerned about the flight mostly, but also about UCLA's quickness and Lou's absence. I hope we win by 30, but I'll take a win with a modest margin. Our half court offense has been rough so far. I'll be there and be loud.

I WAS loud!

 

[DaddyChoc]

I was also surprised by MD's weaknesses. Or was it us?

I'll go 80 - 60, our gals.

I dont do the MOV thing... just "score predictions". Good Job Sonny

Close, but no cigar.....Uconn 82. UCLA 76.

I don't really like cigars all the much anyway.
However

82-67 Uconn. Collier shows up and shows out! Megatron with a hint of what’s to come.

Any ideas about Apple or Amazon stocks?

Looks like Massey was closest??

Shhhh (hint, hint), I've noticed over the last couple of years of this prediction thing, that if you just use Massey's numbers, you would win the BY title of best predictor. That is if we actually gave out that title.

I'm pretty sure people wait for my prediction before taking that scary step forward.

Not me. I only look at Mojo.

 

[HoopsHoppy]

And you’ve been faithfully warding off any anger by Mojo every game. I worry that you may be beginning to think UConn can’t win
