I still think the Beatles cover of Twist and Shout is one of the best covers. I never noticed the song when it was released by the Top Notes nor the cover by the Isley Brothers. The lip sync of it in Ferris Bueller was my musical highlight of that movie:

If Ashlynn can regain the touch from the rounds of 64/32, then UConn wins. I'm assuming that happens. UConn 86 Iowa 79

Personally, I think the greatest game was the Tennessee game in January of '95. That game really put UConn on the basketball map. But this game was the best at overcoming adversity. In 2001 when Shea and Sveta went down, they didn't overcome the adversity as well. They still had superstars...

UConn will shoot much better than 40% this game.... UConn 82 USC 71

It looked like Paige was really tired the second half. Hope she gets some good rest.

UConn 71 Duke 63

Nice to see Ashlynn on the list

UConn 78 Syracuse 61

Even though Jackson State has a touted defense, I don't think UConn will have much problem scoring... UConn 84 over Jackson State 49

Can lighting strike twice? I think so UConn 64 Georgetown 52

Even though it was a team win, the badass is Paige... wins the tip, scores, rebounds, block shots, get steals and assists. There was nothing that she didn't do except foul or have turnovers. What a heroic effort.

I'm worried about Edwards availability. Even with a mask, I expect the swelling and tenderness will cause her participation to be problematic. I'm hoping most symptoms will be healed by the NCAA tournament. Without Edwards the biggest problem will be rebounding, allowing too many second chances...

Nan, please pin this at the top. Thanks

Playing reserves will keep it closer than I would normally expect: UConn 78 Providence 52

The team's offensive production has been inconsistent. I could see anywhere from 65 to 110 points from UConn which makes it very difficult to predict. So I'll pick the midpoint UConn 88 Providence 48

I haven't been close since the beginning of the season. Too many variables, so I'll keep giving WAGs. This one: UConn 88 Villanova 61

1. Efficient Paige 2. KK providing more offense 3. Ice playing good D and rebounding with good inside offense

It's time for KK to get back to her FOY form. All players being effective will be too much for Depaul UConn 88 Depaul 62

The freshman are in a minor slump compared to their play when we last played Creighton which will cause a smaller margin of victory, but it will still be a victory: UConn 82 Creighton 65

UConn 92 Georgetown 48

1. Starters hit a high percentage of shots 55%+ for 2s, 40%+ for 3s 2. Extended minutes from bench players, especially Ice and Q. 3. Smart basketball: no forcing/telegraphing ball into the post, good communication on D, good boxing out on rebounds, etc.

It is rather flippant to just say that the other team scored more. The question is why. Did their superior defense cause us to miss layups and wide open threes? I think the problem is between their ears. Somehow Geno has to get them to the same mental state they had against Louisville and other...

Not sure how much loss at SC will impact the psyche of UConn players. However, I believe the loss will motivate the players to squash a lesser team. UConn 88 X 46

1. 40 minutes of effort. 2. Shoot better than 40% from 3, Shoot over 50% for the game. 3. Keep turovers under 15.

I don't see how UConn can defeat SC. The freshman have been great, but they're not quite ready for a big time game like this. I don't think Paige, Aliyah and Nika can carry the day. The more Ice needs to be used the wider the margin of victory. South Carolina 88 UConn 73

As long as Geno tries to develop Q and Ice, the defensive numbers won't be as good as I expect. Nika and Ashley aren't providing as much to the offense. But against Seton Hall they should still win: UConn 79 - Seton Hall 61

These predictions are hard. Not sure which team will show up. I'm assuming that Shade will get out of her 3pt shooting slump and Paige will be sharper. UConn 93 St. Johns 57

Thank goodness for a Big East game. They learned a lot from the ND game and will dominate this game. UConn 87 Villanova 64

I'm sure ND had a lot to do with it, but only 1 player really showed up... Edwards. Dumb freshman type fouls on Nika, Shade was cold from the outside, KK couldn't buy a layup or short jumper, Paige's shot was off, and our reserves, looked like reserves. We assisted on less than half of our...

UConn's been playing really well lately. They have been having issues with getting in foul trouble which might require more use of the bench keeping the MOV lower than usual. But they are at home and have revenge on their mind for last year's loss. They will still have a convincing win. UConn...

Away games are usually more challenging but UConn will still prevail UConn 84 Marquette 67

Depaul seemed more competitive against non-Big East teams. They were hammered by Marquette 78-47. We should be able to accomplish that same feat at home. So even though my margin of victory was way too high for Seton Hall, I think UConn will double up Depaul: UConn 88 Depaul 44

Not that Shade is as good as Stewart was a a freshman, but Stewart had some "bad" games as a freshman due to the physicality of play. Hopefully, Geno can help her adjust to that type of play like Breanna did. Thank goodness KK found her 3pt shot again. Nika didn't show enough confidence in her...

I seemed to remember TV coverage for the 93-94 Big East tournament that UConn won. My oldest daughter was at UConn then and she encouraged me to follow the women's game, since I already was a fan of the men's program. So those were the first game(s) I watched and the first game I attended was in...

They beat a #23 UNLV before Seton Hall got into Big East play where they've only gone 3-3. They lost to Providence, Villanova and Marquette. So unless UConn goes into a funk this game won't be close. UConn 87 Seton Hall 46
