Prognosticators Game 11 (Arkansas) Predictions

[EricSD]

No idea what to make of this game. Which UCONN team comes out? The focused team who slaughtered Butler by almost 70? Or the lazy team that won a "bad practice" against Georgetown?

If Christyn plays lazy and sits around the 3-point line launching 10-15 3's, it bodes ill. The only one who should be taking 10-15 three point shots is Paige. Evina is too disciplined to jack up that many shots.

Arkansas is NOT big, but the are aggressive. If our post players get into foul trouble as they drive to the hoop, it will be a chess match for Geno to rotate in Mir and Liya to try to mitigate. Arkanasas also loves taking charges on the defensive end so UCONN will need to run crisp offense. If they have SEC refs, or if there is some home cooking on the foul side, it could be a long stressful night.

Arkansas likes to play fast. Maybe faster than UCONN. But given that they aren't big, I think a track meet favors us. If Paige plays, I expect a 15+ point win. They are a better matchup for us than Tennessee. They play at a frenetic pace on defense too, but too often it gets them out of position. If we are disciplined, we can exploit that. We will need a mature game from Paige.

UCONN 78
Arkansas 64

I don't know if fans are allowed in to the game - seems like I heard some last night. If this is CW's home game I would expect more rooting for her than Arkansas! I will assume paige plays at least some so 103-56 for us.

 

[bballnut90]

UCONN 95-72

 

[jabstep]

UConn 81-73

 

[skilz]

UConn 78-65

 

[jpp13]

UCONN 79 Arkansas 72

 

[MSGRET]

UCONN (with Paige) 84
ARK 77

UCONN (without Paige) 73 Nika has her best game in a UCONN uniform!
ARK 69

With Paige 94-73. Without 83-73. We should win unless AK shots 50% from 3 pt land and that isn't likely. We made it by a pretty good UT team tho we didn't play all that's well. With Paige it won't be a nail biter. Without things get more interesting. I don't think Nika would have to have a big game to win - ONO, EW, Griff and CW can handle the scoring. She needs to keep her turnovers down, play some D, get some assists, make a few shots when they are there and just be steady.

Your first choice is what will be entered. If you wish to change your prediction you may do so, but it must be before the deadline for submission, which is 5 minutes prior to game time.

 

[BostonBay]

UConn 81 Arkansas 79. I dont think Paige will play. Geno might play it safe & make sure she is ready for the rest of the season, versus risking more injury.

 

[AgStatesman]

UConn 91 - Ark 72

Easy Ed with the correct answer.

 

[NormanDale]

If Bueckers plays and is remotely herself, UConn 77 Arkansas 65

If Bueckers does not play, Arkansas 73 UConn 68

 

[Tonyc]

UConn 86 Arkansas 67. It may not be that close. UConn should be up for this game. Paige needs to be healthy. Stay out of foul trouble and dont put Ark on the line and its over early.

 

[MSGRET]

OKAY for all of you that are giving two scores, the first one is the one that will be used. If you want to change your score prior to the closing of the predictions, 5 minutes before game time, you can. You just have to state that you are changing your previous prediction.

Easy Ed with the correct answer.

If this your prediction then state that it is or you will not be entered.

 

[Magy Cannon]

UCONN 89 AR 67

 

[tomcat]

Arkansas 73, UConn 68

 

[Ex Nutmegger]

UConn 84 - Arkansas 59

 

[HopJim]

Most of the SEC games this year have been low scoring. UConn wins 78-69

 

[The CDR-Ret]

UCONN 85 Ark 68 for MOV of 17; Paige, Evina & ONO are the stars of this one - all 18+ points, plus Aubrey "throws down" another double-double in points and rebounds.

 

[JellyBean]

Early game and depends on the meal of the day and how the players are rested.

UConn: 68
Arkansas: 54

 

[TC22]

A couple of notes on Arkansas. They are GREAT at taking charges and also getting to the foul line. Dungee is on fire right now. She can shoot it from anywhere. the Place will be packed with fans and they won’t all be Chrystin’s fans. This is a good SEC team and they normally pack the house for a big games. I expect that UConn will win but they should give them a good game.

 

[Calbysdad]

I'll go with 82-79 UConn...

 

[heavyhusky]

Fascinating matchup, way too many variables. Huskies roll over the Razorbacks
85 – 74 .

 

[Urshurak]

UConn 74, Razorbacks 62

 

[WiseOne]

78-63 UCONN

 

[Dokey]

Ark 72
UConn 68

or the other way.

 

[Happydad745]

81-68 with a healthy P.B....without Paige I might be afraid to watch.

 

[HuskyPhan]

Huskies 82-68

Question for the judge/tabulator of predictions
1 some people are putting a condition on the score, Paige or no Paige how are you recording this in the official predictions?
2. What is with Paige or without Paige. if she plays at all, starts game or something else.

please make it clear on how you will tabulate results. I would like it to be public on how you will handle this in final results

With or without Paige, UConn 78 - Arkansas 69
