Score prediction thread for SMU

[winlots]

Circus going on the road, and time for five Huskies to balance on the back of a Mustang. As always, who wins it....MOV....with exact score as tie-breaker.

Very interesting contest last time out, and as Hoops Hoppy and West Coast Pup pointed out with their very helpful input, MDOG swept in for an unconventional, but totally legit victory, by the Vegas-style rules of the thread. ( Mdog had to be looking over his shoulder at ADESMAR on that one as they headed down the stretch, eh? ) Re the competition for the SEASON'S best predictors, will also award some points to
NEW CORN who was the next closest of the group in what was one of our two worst collective prognostication of the season.....some things are just hard to explain. In any event: "They're off!" (Sure as heck were the last time out....)

92-35 Uconn.

 

[rford53]

100- 40 UConn continues its dominance in a 60 point win, #91 in a row!

Where's the highly anticipated report from the last game?

 

[Kaizen]

94 - 42 Uconn.

 

[GoUconn7961]

95-48 Uconn

 

[Sonny44]

92-35 Uconn.

I'm afraid we're in for a big let down which usually comes off a high. Can't expect to win by 65 every game.

93 - 39 our gals.

So hard to predict. SMU lost to ECU by 1 point. UCONN beat ECU 90-45. While this game is in Texas, given the amazingly focused smackdown UCONN gave to USF, I can't imagine this game is as close as that one. This team appears to be improving every game and was as focused against USF as any team I"ve ever seen.

UCONN 96
SMU 35

 

[Iowafan]

Connecticut 92 SMU 42

 

[Suebird10fan]

81-36

Saturday's game will be timely fun, when UConn wends its way to 91!

And in honor of what we all hope and pray will be 91 wins in a row, I'll go with 91-65 Huskies.

UConn 86-52

Channelling Bojo Skeet; 193-5.

I think Geno gets Molly (with Crystal shut down) and Kyla earlier than usual and continues to do that for the next couple of games, along with Natalie, and that keeps the score down somewhat. Maybe a 25-35 point win. He may well need them as experienced as possible down the road.

'Southern Methodist University---32 The Mad Dog five---107
Butler garners 25 points 13 Rebbies and 8 assist with a career high in minutes played.
Molly 5 pts, 3 rbies, 6 assist NO TO!!
Kyla 8 Rebies
Chong shall set a new Career high---it is so high--there are rules against it. 10 assists.
The Usual Suspects shall all exceed 17pts each

Doak Walker scores 12 points for SMU , honorary points. (2 field goals)

Whether he needs them or does not---they need to be prepared to go in and make a difference--or at the minimum--not give up a lot. I think Geno's measure of success for those beyond the Mad Dog 5 --is to maintain the lead with minor point loses.
Real success for them would be to build on the lead--with SmU.

My hope and serious expectation is that both Chong and Butler build on the previous game in points, Rebounds and assists.
I expect them to not give up more points than they make.

No way 65 points----my guestimate is 32 107 75 MOV

 

[RockyMTblue2]

As bags notes, Geno can do what he wants on player development, so Broadway's Mad Dog 5 might become 5 1/2 or 6. Massey is about as helpful here as he was last game, predicting 84-36. I don't think we see a let down. In establishing a new intercollegiate record you'd want it to be a punctuation mark, right? 107-39

 

[RockyMTblue2]

No way 65 points----my guestimate is 32 107 75 MOV

Great minds Broadway, great minds.

Oh yeah, GB 28--Dallas Cowgirls 20

SMU can field a big lineup, which has given UConn problems this year.....but not on Saturday. With a record-breaking 91 wins at stake, UConn annihilates the Mustangs 96 - 35

These handsome lads are Tommy James and the Shondells. Sadly, they are often confused with the SMU legacy band of CRAIG James and the Pony Express. Seldom is an effort made to clarify this cock-up. (Note that Craig James had only ONE other member playing with him, Eric Dickerson.)

However, as UConn is engaging the Mustangs (aka “Ponies”) Saturday in Texas, it seemed a good chance to set the record straight. As for the “game” itself, well, you know what's going to happen.

As a side note, TJ & the Shondells seemed to encourage the use of “crystal meth” (“Crystal Blue Persuasion”), but Tommy claimed the name of the song came to him while studying the Bible. He later claimed to have no memory of the 60s, which proved that he was there.

I want to see if they can maintain the level of play they displayed on Tuesday night. If so, it will be a very ugly game for SMU. I don't do score predictions since the one time I played my prediction was embarrassingly off (a man has got to know his limitations ). I hope to be able to see the entire game, but I have yearly refresher training for the Maryland Urban Search and Rescue Task Force so I might not be home for the start. I missed the first quarter of Tuesday's game.

93-45

You folks on the Boneyard simply have no idea what the Huskies are getting themselves into when they attempt to upset the mighty Mustangs of SMU........do I have to remind you that this team beat Texas Southern by 25 points or that they blew away Grambling State by 20!!!!!!!! Try this one on for size.......SMU 77 Seattle University 43 !!!!!!!!! They even decimated then #19 rated Texas A&M by a single point!!!!!! So what that they just lost to East Carolina and Tulane............that's clearly an aberration!!!!!!! They are a tall lean basketball machine and they have made it their life's mission to end the UConn winning streak at 90....................Yes I am the voice of doom and gloom and the more negative I am the better those UConn ladies play................so I say UConn struggles mightily in the first half before they finally shake free from the valiant Mustang defense........................final score 87-51..........................
