Penn State hammers UNC

[doggydaddy]

103-84.

Just curious, but does anyone think the UNC game could still be a loss for UConn? Hey, they did score 84 points.

UNC is athletic and good, but I expect us to win by at least 15. In fact, it could get ugly. We should get 80+. I am not sure they can get to 65.

I'd be shocked to see UConn lose that game at home.

I would be quite happy to see a similar high-scoring contest on January 16th.

BTW: I like the ACC/Big Ten Challenge

UConn will win that game by 20+, maybe 25+. UConn's defense will completely blow open the game. As much as I am pulling for PSU's return to WCBB's top echelon they cannot play defense at all. UNC will struggle to get to 65. UConn D would, also, devastate PSU's present offense, but perimeter D would be critical since PSU regularly has 3 excellent #pt shooters on the court in Lucas, Bentley and Gray. Dolson would immediately put Greene in foul trouble.

Some interesting stats for PSU last night 14 3s on 14-24 shooting, assists on 26 of 38 baskets, 15 assists for Alex Bentley with 1 TO (How's that for an A/TO for you), second game in a row over 100 points for PSU. PSU is now 6-1 with the only loss to Delaware which isn't looking so bad anymore.

I think this is going to be another UCONN blowout! I'll be shocked if we don't win by at least 30 to 35 points. UNC is just not that good.

The better PSU does, the more value UDel's win over them [in Happy Valley] has.
UDel may just wind up with a 6/7 seed and be in position to do some real damage in The Dance.

The game was in Delaware this year, Blake.

Allow me to add that going into last night's game, Penn State was shooting 31% from 3. Then, they explode last night for 58%. Very few teams will lose shooting 58% from 3.
