UConn - 64
UCLA - 52

I am NOT giving up. As bad as the offense was yesterday, the defense is good enough to keep UCLA from outscoring UConn.

Guys, UCLA is a bad team that has not played a decent team this season. From Massey (because it goes low enough) look at the rankings of who they have played. Their average opponent is ranked 147. The have not beaten a team in the top 100 and have lost both games they have played to barely top 80 teams

I hope I'm wrong on the outcome, but I'm thinking UCLA 65- UCONN 58. Hoping for more good moments from Caroline and Amari, and for Aaliyah to figure it out. Growing pains continue.

UConn 77 - UCLA 69. I don’t get in on this poll often, but I feel good about a UConn victory. UCLA is not Ga Tech.

I can’t see Uconn losing 5 games in a row. There’s just no way that happens. But there is also no way they win the next 4. If we can squeak out wins against UCLA and Marquette, the streak survives.

I’m going to say we respond better against UCLA, who isn’t going to be as tough to score against as GTech. The emphasis should be transition since we’re pretty abysmal in the half court.

Uconn 68-60. Then back to the L column for Louisville.

I have been watching for a bunch of years now and I have never seen a Connecticut team shoot so poorly. Many times against Georgia Tech people passed up open shots only to make a poor pass because they were afraid to shoot. I can’t see Connecticut getting out of the 60s and even getting into them might be a stretch. I found that game incredibly hard to watch. It seems like other teams have found unknown Big bodies that give our highly rated girls all they can handle or maybe the ratings aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. A wishful Connecticut win 62 to 59

I try to be optimistic, but if last night was any indication tomorrow may be a presentation of some of the ugliest basketball seen in a decade.

UConn escapes the stink fest 62 - 55.

After watching today's (Cluster ****), you military vets know what I mean, against Georgia Tech, I don't know what team will show up against UCLA. I can also say the same about UCLA, they've lost to Kent State and South Dakota St, so whoever has the team that decides that they can play will win. If UConn plays like they did today, they will get trampled on and finally lose back to back games for the first time since 1993. How can the three Senior's on the team have 10 TO's, shoot 15 - 40 and 2 - 12 from behind the arc, that IS NOT leadership. Praying that Aubrey is able to play on Saturday and maybe give UConn a boost. I'm going to do a WAG here with the score. UConn 65 - UCLA 60. All predictions must be in by 1:00 PM Eastern or 10:00 AM Pacific. If you change your prediction, you must state that it is a change to your original or it will not be changed. If I receive a change request you will know that it has been changed by me giving you a "like" on your request. Please read the rules attached so that you have your predictions accepted, I'M not @Carnac, I need your winner stated.
@MSGRET Isn't the game at Noon Eastern?

Unfortunately, one has to ask the question, how much better is this current UConn team compared to those earlier opponents? I will be attending this game, I believe around the twentieth UConn game I have seen in person, and they have never lost in my presence..........I say UConn 65- UCLA 59 and as always just get the win, please nobody else get hurt and get home safely!!.......:)

UConn has spent the last year+ deferring to Paige at the expense of working their offense.
UCLA 71
UConn 55
