[husky99]

uconn 84

boat needs to play D and Olander needs to step up with a double double.
napier needs to play two halfs
DD needs to hit his midrange

[Calhoun's Court]

This is our tourney game so..................with my heart I'll say:

Need a big game from DeAndre to do this:

Uconn 74
Cuse 71

Fingers Crossed !!!!

 

[CTGoonie]

Perennial Overachieving Huskies: 68
Perennial Underachieving Orange: 64

 

[UChusky916]

The team's just not ready for this one. Without wolf, our weaknessess get exposed to the max. We get killed on the boards and still inept against the zone.

fruit: 78
dogs: 66

 

[Rico444]

63-60 good guys. We're gonna have to win this game with defense.

 

[UConn4ever]

UConn 77
Cuse 74

 

[Scot-e]

I only know that WE ARE DOOMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tykurez]

Cuse 72
Conn 58

Doomed.

Much as I would love to see an upset, sort of like the BC game in Calhoun's first year or the famous slow down game against Rhode Island back in the day, I'm not sure I see it. I think this will be closer to the Louisville game earlier this season. Syracuse just has better talent this year, and this team tends to struggle against the zone anyway. Thow in the Wolf situation and I have to go Orange 61 Huskies 50.

My The keys to this game:
1. start the offense early in the shot clock .. get into our sets and run our team offense - patience vs the zone..
2. pressure on the ball, especially vs Carter-williams. he has been known to turn the ball over
3. fight over screens and don't cheat off of southerland.
3. ZONE OFFENSE EXECUTION******
a. Guard spacing (no on the ball screens allowing one cuse defender to cover two offense players)
b. OC worked great in and around the elbow vs. providence and we got great shots off entries to him.
c. MUST get the ball to the elbow area and work from there.. kick outs to guards or baseline overloads with daniels/OC popping out strong side to create overload number advantages vs their wings.
d. I am less concerned with shooting and more concerned with execution of the offense to get good shots. I like Giffey and OC to run that elbow area and work from there. Make them collapse on our foul line entry passes and the 3's will come.

Uconn: 64
Cuse: 67

Uconn: 64

This game plan gets me all sorts of pumped, and then you pick cuse. Dooooooooooomed! By the way, regardless of who you really are, I'm going to assume that you are Brian Fair.

 

[Palatine]

Prediction: PAIN.

 

[Dove]

First half score:

UConn - 11
Cuse - 45

Final score:

UConn - 67
Cuse 61

 

[stillinstorrs]

older fans will remember Larry Blucher's follow-up downing the Cuse in '83, and Earl Kelly's jumpers for wins. Those wins were something to hang our hats on, and I think there's an outside chance tonight...

 

[EricLA]

Syracuse 72
UCONN 59

 

[hasheemthedream]

Too Big, Too Strong. Don't see us squeezing the ORANGE this year unless we shoot about 80% from 3-point land.

Cuse - 75
Huskies- 58

 

[Husky]

Olander shows up big time (storrs native playing cuse, how can't he!!!)

UConn pulls the upset!

From what I have seen I fear that this plan wont be what we see and our guards will push without reason and turn it over trying to dribble too much,we will lose our focus on fundamental zone offense and our "game plan". The minute I see DD set an on the ball screen "lane side" no less (into traffic and help of the cuse zone def.) and I will throw my dewers into the tv)

How bout an off ball guard screen allowing bazz to curl into the middle. ie screen AWAY from the ball... I will see no low block overload.. for a dump down.

IF OC PLAYS ON THAT FOUL LINE WITH GIFFEY AND THEY ROTATE BALL SIDE AND SO ON WE WILL GET GOD SHOTS..

I am not brian fair.

 

[geordi]

It will take GOD shots to win this game.

 

[3uconn]

UConn: 61
Syracuse: 78

Something interesting that I saw on twitter was that someone asked who Jay Bilas thought was going to win the game tonight and he said UConn with small ball. Only time will tell but as you see I don't feel confident at all.

 

[Jerry1714]

UConn is +4.5, I think we cover. Win, god I hope so.

Earl Kelly - Jeez, I recall seeing him take it coast to coast with David Wingate on one side and Reggie Williams on the other, and neither could get a hand on the ball.
