Predictions for FSU-Uconn

[UConnSwag11]

 

[HawkHusky]

Total flop on the charge tho...

 

[bazz&boujee]

only way we win is if we look back on this as the breakout game for sid wilson. anything less, and i just don’t think we have enough firepower

 

[AntG168]

Also their big guy isn't that good. He's the quintessential raw string bean. Not worried about him

 

[Husk1881]

UConn 74
FSU 80

Tournover are better but still a major issue. Hopefully we shoot well from 3 and keep it close. Should be a good game

 

[McLovin]

Any concern with the JA comment and seeing how MD runs?

 

[AdamaNation]

Hoping Hurley can plan for lots of switches off the high screen causing mismatches with our guards on their bigger guys. This will call for more iso play but that may be the call in a game where half court set offense may not be practical. Unless FSU is REAL smart and just uses the length to go zone in us. Our speed can win. And if you take Ollie with better overall team talent and Hurley with overall less talent ( but not epically at the guards) it seems even. We may just run right by them and have a few of the bigs sitting on the bench for most of the game. We need to be at the line often and early.

One prediction. Polley gets pushed so far under basket we have to send an Uber to Hoboken to bring him back

It think key to a win is early inside scoring. I think this means Cobb, not Carlton needs to get going early. If we can't do this they are going to play out on the perimeter and we won't have any open 3's.

 

[CTBasketball]

Carlton 2 fouls in the first half: one on a cheap tick tack on a screen, the other at the basket.

Vital: 3 turnovers in the first half but hits 2 three’s.

Adams: Kind of hangs around in the first half, scores 20 points total

Gilbert: verge of double double, he is not scoring over all that length so he’s going to dish it a lot.

Cobb: double double, big boys gonna have himself a night.

Sidney: 11 points 4 rebounds

Would love to have onourah this season

 

[JustbrewitMan]

If we push the pace, keep the ball from sticking, keep TOs <12, and get at least 10pts combined from bigs, we win. Easy peazy.

UConn - 129
Florida State - 48

Don't turn it over with sloppy possessions, make shots and rebound like mad we got a shot. Also depends on the Florida State team that shows up. They aren't great shooters but when they do make shots they're very tough to beat (hmmmm..?) because we know they will be bears on the glass, will go after it all game. Good news is they sometimes get sloppy too so they can keep everyone they play in the game.

Play like they did vs Arizona this one could get ugly. Need more Syracuse later today and our guys have a shot to get a big one on the board.

UConn - 129

[Son of Robert]

Going to be a tough game. I watched Florida State a couple of times last year in the NCAAs and they play very physical and aggressive D. They do play together. Not an offensive juggernaut.

We win this game by playing smart, matching their intensity on both sides of the ball, keeping turnovers down, playing team O to get good shots, and staying close with the rebounding. There's another ten things but these are some big keys to the game.

Players have to step up. This is a great test for this team, and individually for the players.

 

[Chief00]

I've only seen a bit of Florida State but from what I've seen Arizona was a real lost opportunity for this team.

Sadly agree.

 

[UconnFanDC]

Prevent the careless turnovers, stay out of foul trouble, shoot well, play as a team, rebound well against FL State and it will be a very good game. Now let's get this win so we all sleep well and start selling out XL and Gampel again

 

[Madmannsucks]

83-66.

 

[ClifSpliffy]

newsflash... dawgs made the strategic leap last game. alterique became the point guard, and the rest? get to your spots, and make your shots. 'rique will be dishin' and the rest will be swishin.' huskerdoo hooperoo--bow,wow,wow. UConn by six.

 

[puppygenius]

If Jalen upped his 3 point game he'd be better than Bazz.

"Alice, you've been in that rum candy again!" Either that or smoking the wacky.

 

[August_West]

"Alice, you've been in that rum candy again!" Either that or smoking the wacky.

It’s not that crazy a premise. Minus the 3 point game jalen is a more talented offensive player.
But that doesn’t take in to account the defensive end of floor . And that’s no contest. Bazz wins.

Bazz wins on intangibles too.

Jalen is a serious talent though. Which is why it can be maddening watching at times. All the tools are right there to see. I’m hopeful that a kid who stayed for 4 years and through 2 coaches and some bad teams can have a senior season that gets the national recognition commiserate with his talent level.
