Where are the predictions from the fans of the #1 rated team in the country?
 
Nerves will be a factor in the opening minutes. Both these teams like to run. This UConn team has has not realized its full potential. This will not be close.

88-67
 
These blow out prediction reminds me so much of the Stanford game prediction thread.
 
UCONN 78 / SoCar 50
Hopefully any ticket holders not able to go to the game call UCONN and donate your seats so students can attend instead! We need to pack the building 10,100+!

MoJett with 8 steals, minimum. She'll run right between the legs of the SC players. Won't even see her coming.
Best thing about the last game, Stewie and Tuck will be playing to impress Geno, not SC. UConn will shine.

I think that less than to impress Geno, Stewie and Morgan will play with a "screw him-how's THAT" attitude...And Geno will complement them after the game on playing the way that he knew they could play. UConn by 17, only because SC brings the final margin down under 20 late against the subs...
 
IMHO this game will be decided by the Refs. If UConn avoids getting Moriah, Stewie and Tuck into foul trouble they'll win. If however two out of the three get into serious foul trouble and have to sit for extended period of time, UConn might lose. South Carolina has so much depth, they can afford to get into foul trouble with the exception of Tiffany Mitchell.

Going with a close UConn win 71-64. Don't see anyway this game turns into a blowout, like the recent Duke games have been. Dawn Staley is a superior coach to Coach P and her players will not give up.
 
Odds are this is going to be a close game and I have UConn winning 73-65. However if UConn is able to rebound with South Carolina, negate their height advantage inside by stuffing the paint, and is hot from the outside this game could get ugly and UConn could win by 20.
 
The officials call a real tight game. UCONN makes 55 free throws, Jenn makes 12 in a row down the stretch and UCONN wins by 20, 75-55. GO UCONN

I could be wrong, IMHO I think SC may be a bit better than most think. UConn in a close one, 72-64.
 
I"ll go SC 71 UCONN 68.

(may the mojo gods smile on me)

At 9:00AM Uconn was favored by 15.5 points, at 10:37AM Uconn is now favored
by 18.5. I am surprised that the line is so high. GO HUSKIES!!!!
 
I'm in the upset camp: Number 2 over Number 1. Could be a reach with SC's superior starters, bench, coach, and mascot (a cock), but, hey, this is why they play the game. :rolleyes:

I guess people are forgetting that UConn has a poor record in close games. This factoid came out in the Stanford game.

I have a fear that this game will start out like the Stanford final four game. An ugly first half. Hopefully, UConn will wear SC down.
 
At 10:54AM Uconn is now favored by 11.5 pts which is more realistic.
 
One thing I agree with TonyC about: South Carolina will not be able to score big points against UConn. For the Gamecocks to win, the score will have to remain in the 50's or low 60's, which would mean that UConn is not hitting shots, their shots are getting blocked or altered by USC's big defenders, or their key scorers are sitting on the bench for one reason or another.

If none of those things happen (which seems most likely though far from certain), then an approximate 20-point victory seems probable. UConn in the high 70's; South Carolina in the mid-50's.

Dawn Staley's #1 USC Carolina Gamecocks ... the Lady-Gs 67, Geno's #2 UConn Huskies 63.

SCAR defense is better than y'all realize, plus our long range bombers get hot tonight, force y'all to come out and that leaves the bigs inside open for some easy 2s. We run the court very well and we've got too much depth for y'all to handle all night ... eventually your girls will fatigue.

Now, the key to this game for SCAR is to shoot minimum 75% from the charity strike.

I'd like to see y'all's bigs in foul trouble early - that would be good. We're going to try to pound the ball down low but I fully expect the refs up there to let'em bang on our girls so we're not counting on this thing to be called evenly. We'll see though. I could be wrong.

Not surprised to see y'all favored by double-digits given the history of teams failing up there. You've got a heckuvan intimidating place to play-in. We're supposed to be bringing a big crowd. A planeload, a busload, plus a bunch of people coming up from the NYC area. We sold all 200 of our tickets we were allotted.
 
I have always been amazed at how accurate Vegas can be, they have us favored by 11 1/2 which I find suprising. I give the Gamecocks more respect than that personally but not being a gambler I'm going with the odds makers. SC 63 UCONN 74 1/2 :D

Is it really Vegas that has set that spread ? I was under the impression that they don't have WCBB lines until the NCAA's.
Massey has UConn as 12.5 pt favorites. However, that is not a betting line.

Maybe I should have not used the term Vegas. Here is where I got it.

I went with the word Vegas because if you look hard enough there is nothing you can't bet on there.

If you check above, you'll see I am expecting a very close game, and I'm not at all an "in-your-face" fan. I've been a basketball fan much too long for that, I know the ball bounces both ways. While much of your projection is possible, one thing shows your unfamiliarity with UConn. Do NOT expect fatigue from UConn. If there's one aspect that more than any other underlies the historic dominance of UConn, it's the conditioning. I think it is the single biggest advantage the Huskies have, that and the assumption by opponents that they will tire during the game.
