UConn 80 - USF 64 MOV = 16
One thing that I've noticed over they past few years is that when teams that are on a streak of wins, scoring in the 80's or 90's or putting up some other impressive numbers, that streak comes to a screeching halt when they play UConn. It's because those numbers weren't achieved against schools that play at the level UConn does. Those numbers are usually garnered against programs with lesser talent.
Before their game with UConn,
DePaul was in the midst of an impressive 3 game win streak. They had not scored less than 80 points in any of their 8 games prior to that point, eclipsing the century mark twice.
UConn comes to town and holds them to less than 70 points in an impressive 103-69 win. If you remember in that game, ALL of the starters scored in double figures with Gabby and Napheesa posting a double-double. DePaul was held to 9 points in the 3rd quarter.
Will this be a "statement " game where UConn simply trounces the Bulls, and serves notice to the rest of the conference that there's no "new Sheriff in town", but that the old one is still here, and it's business as usual.?!?
