predict: uconn vs mem

[UCONNfan1]

Memphis 75
UCONN 67

Just don't think we can do it...

The offense is stagnant, Shabazz tries to do to much, bigs get in early foul trouble, and DeAndre is invisible. Memphis jumps out to a huge lead, we make a late run but its not enough. 78-66 Memphis. Joe Jackson and Shaq Goodwin have huge games.

Hope I am wrong.

This pretty much defines a possible deflating scenario. I hope we come out nailing some shots and get some solid contributions from the frontcourt. I can see that happening but worry about a late run from Memphis.
Back and forth we go until a late putback by Daniels seals the deal.

UConn 71 - 68

A lot of Brimah expectations here. I think he still has a few non factor games to get out before we can call him a pivotal piece. I'm really hoping Omar shows up like he did in providence last year. Kid won us that one.

I think it comes down to defense and whether we can handle taking their best punch. I like us tonight.

I say we mount a comeback but come up short. Memphis wins 72-68

As stoked as I am and as confident as I am in our boys I can't help but have awful flashbacks to the first time we went to Marquette and their place as an absolute zoo and Steve GD Novak hit like 8 threes.

Huskies not yet ready for prime time. Memphis 81-68.

I say we toughen up the D keep the Shaq in foul trouble and keep the score in the low 60's. UC 64-60
