Sclaia can light it up. Minnesota has added some good transfers also. They are better than last year. 85-67

The bench gets A LOT of PT. Geno is gonna give his first starting five some good rest before the intense weekend. Otherwise the score would be more ridiculous.

Lots of PT from the bench - this could very well be the game where Azzi gets her "sea legs" for the Huskies. :)

Selection submitted from Salamanca Spain.
Hanging with Karlie, who has recovered from that ugly arm lock take down.
Hope Karlie gets better quickly-we can't have any of the Samuelson clan down:)

Uconn over the Golfers-I mean Gophers (Caddyshack reference) 92-58

Not sure what @MSGRET was looking at then he reviewed the Gophers first 4 games of Jacksonville, ASU, GW and American as I would have predicted the EXACT 3-1 record they have. Granted I would have had Jacksonville as a win and ASU as a loss but anyone would have bet on them beating GW and American. That does not mean they are remotely good-they aren't.

UConn gets the kinks worked out, Aubrey plays some and the final is 90-68.

UCONN had no problem scoring on Arkansas (well Paige had no problem). We put up 95 points on them. The problem was the defense was "really really bad". Ark was a game where we NEEDED Paige. The team started off gangbusters in Q1 (out 17-2) and Paige didn't score. We ground to a half after that and Paige started picking it up in Q2.

I am HOPEFUL that this game is different. Sure I'd like to see Paige get her 20, but if we score over 90, I'd LOVE to see at least 4 others scoring in double digits. Given that I think Paige really tries to get the ball to others, and given that I don't think Minny will challenge us, Paige won't need to be "heroic".

BTW Minny has not scored over 73 in a game even tho they are 3-1, and put up 48 over GW in a low scoring 48-32 point win. I'm thinking Minny will be offensively challenged, even if our defense is sucky.

UCONN 85
Minny 48

After seeing the loss to Jacksonville, I figured that they would lose to at least ASU and at best be 2 - 2.

UConn 90- Minny 68

I don’t think Geno is going to want to embarrass Whalen

You obviously over rated ASU who is really, really bad. They will give Cal a good run for the basement of the PAC12.
I watched that Minn-ASU game and both were brutal. Minn blew an 10 point lead at 8:23 of that game (50-40) and only scored 4 points the rest of the 4th that allowed ASU back in and into OT. Just bad basketball and bad coaching.

So upon further reflection, I want to revise my prognostication.
UConn 92-53

Uconn 100 to 50 winners. If UConn doesnt win by 30+, something is very wrong.
