Score predictions for ND game

[bags27]

Not that there was any doubt about whether there'd be a big crowd....

Massey has UConn-76 vs ND-67, with a 77% Result.
So I'm adding those 7s to each: UConn 83-ND 74.
In other words, a W.A.G!

 

[cabbie191]

O ye of little faith. What's with these close scores? I say, UConn 85 - 57. Gabby is the Badass with 20+ and a double double.

I think I'm glad you're not my tax accountant!

81-79 UCONN in overtime

Uconn 78 N.D. 62 enjoy the game

 

[HoopsFan21]

If Lou decides she wants to play, UConn wins 74-62, and if she doesn't like the first half Sunday then ND wins 70-64.

 

[Husky pride]

Uconn 80, Notre Dame 70! Dangerfield proves again to be the spark when a big game is on the line!!

 

[Suebird10fan]

84-82 Uconn in OT

 

[MilfordHusky]

68-68 in regulation. To be continued.

This is the real "toughest game of the year," though Maryland and S.C could be tough.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I will start with a negative. Sorry. Home court and depth are too much to overcome. ND 68 UConn 57. By the way, the non-partial bad refereeing will continue. These are the best two programs in WCBB. Hopefully they can find three humans that will let them play.

Officiating is often an issue in ND games.

 

[StephStorrs]

Not the dreaded OT predictions!

 

[Husky fanatic]

Fouls play a roll in sub patterns tomorrow. Home court advantage is about 7 points. UConn 77 ND 74

Here's a different twist

I'm not going to post numbers

But I predict that the game will resemble the Depaul game in that the Husky's
will come out like they're shot out of a cannon and the game will be functionally over by the end of the 1st Quarter.

ND will score enough in the 2nd half to get within 15 or so but the game will end with the score closer than the real margin of victory.

When asked about the ND game, Geno had a huge smile and said he was looking forward to the next 2 days of practice. Though he knows this group is young and unpredictable, he also knows they are tough and resourceful. I think Coach is optimistic.

Yes, if we win, the WCBB community will think, OMG, they could have a 10-year run.

 

[TitleTown]

UConn 71
Notre Dame 68

 

[HoopsHoppy]

UConn 81 - ND 72

 

[cferraro04]

UConn in foul trouble. ND 81 / UConn 69

 

[Roundball fan]

UConn 77-65. I keep waiting for a bad game from our Huskies. I have now decided that we aren't going to have a bad one. Lou had fire in her eye the second half of the Texas game, I am hoping that she is really starting to get it. I expect all the girls to play great, who's no. 1.

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

Geno has done it again.

This year’s refrain is “We are such an undersized team”

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

The proof of this is of course that we have to start 5’ 11” Gabby Williams at Center. Yep, she jumps center, plays down low, posts up and rebounds like a deamon.

But, BUT, look what happened to Texas.

He brings in Butler, Moves Gabby to a guard position.

AND…..this is what have we:
1) 6’ 5” Butler at Center
2) 6’ 3” Samuelson at wing
3) 6’ 1” Collier at power forward
4) 6’ 0” Nurse at point
5) 5’ 11” Gabby (playing like Lebron) at shooting guard

Try matching up against that.

Butler is a threat down low even though she has her faults, still gotta put a big on her and even some help defense.
Samuelson at wing – better have an agile big to put on her.
Collier is a real handful as she is always around the ball and a stone cold scorer.
Nurse is a big strong guard, can shoot the three and get to the rim.
And finally there is Gabby…and Gabby is, well, just GABBY.

I don't know about everyone else; but; it all makes me smile

Prediction: UCONN 78 Notre Dame 67

Hey


Big Mick- - - I agree UCONN's size isn't a deficit! UCONN's G's are better defenders than ND!
But I have said for the past 3 years that the way to beat ND is inside! Turner is very good but limited, and KLS, Gabby, Natalie, Napheesa, are all multi talented to punish the Irish bigs!
UCONN 79 ND 71
Could be more if UCONN gets on a roll!

 

[eebmg]

I think the biggest advantage for UConn will be their ability to able fluster and frustrate Brianna Turner. To me, she always seems to rush and often misses more bunnies then the impressive athletic layups she makes. Her defense is also far from stellar (except for the odd blocked shots), This will allow us to attack inside with movement and play off her enough to get onto the wings and push ND off the 3 pt line. ND's guards are elite and they do not fluster so it will be close but reasonably high scoring UConn 76 ND 72. Really looking forward to it.

 

[Tonyc]

I cant see ND scoring over 70 pts against UConn. UCONN 74 ND 66

 

[HoopsFan21]

I cant see ND scoring over 70 pts against UConn. UCONN 74 ND 66

Did you see them scoring 80 against UConn last year when we had arguably the best trio of players ever?

ND scored 81 points last year

 

[HoopsFan21]

ND scored 81 points last year

So, who do you think torches us tomorrow night? Mabrey2? Allen? One of the newbies? You just know one of them is gonna go off and knock down a bunch of early threes.

 

[housekeys]

We stop Arike Ogunbowale, we will win. The officiating will play a big role, because she likes driving to the basket and get to the line as well shoot the 3.

I say we win. Guessing by about 5 points.
