Prognosticators Game 13

[Gmoney]

Uconn 95-56

 

[oldude]

USF is the closest thing UConn has to real competition in the AAC, but the Bulls really don’t match up well with the Huskies.

UConn wins 102 -64.

 

[meyers7]

UCONN has to eventually lose in the AAC. After getting sunburns on the beach, imbibing a bit too much at Bokampers (nice job David), this is it.

Da Bulls, 83-78.

It's difficult to get sunburn when your wearing sweat pants and a hooded sweatshirt to stay warm.

They have a couple of days in Tampa to do R&R, feeling warm and cozy and thinking about how miserable they might be up here in New England right about now.

So, they may be a bit on autopilot, and (as they have a couple of times this season) play down to their opponent. I'm thinking a MOV of no more than 20.

Everybody down here complaining how cold it is. Temp here (West Palm) were down to the 40's last night - wow! Last night at dinner you would have thought we were at the north pole watching everyone come into the restaurant dressed like Nanuck of the North.

Have you been hit by any falling iguanas yet?

It's so cold in Florida, iguanas are falling from trees

[MilfordHusky]

I'm going to disagree with Milford - USF does not have a lot of offense. Jesperson and Laksa are the two primary scorers. Ferreira will chip in some. Henshaw has size but not much scoring punch. Preito and Flores have been inconsistent scorers so far.

UConn wins 93 - 57.

I hope you’re right. They haven’t been a good matchup for us, and our defense keeps improving, but this is a real game, unlike most AAC games.

 

[USFMB]

I'm in Tampa and it is currently 53 degrees. The expected low today is 36 degrees!

The Fronds on my poor coconut tree all turned brown over night.

As to our game, Massey has it: UConn 83 - USF 62 and gives us a 3% chance of winning.

I hope that USF can stay within 20 points, to keep it respectable.

I am sorry , but sandals with socks is 'WRONG'

UConn 86 - USF 64

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Was just programming the VCR for the game and noticed that SNY is once agin running UConn '95 Birth of a Dynasty after the post-game show. One of the times I have enjoyed Robin Roberts ("my ears are still ringing"). She intimated that ESPN started covering the NCAA Tourney as a regular thing, etc., 'cuz of the momentum out of the January 1995 Tenn/UConn game.

 

[LasVegasYank]

86-57, the puppies.

 

[chrissaran]

On Laksa fight over the pick. She's not a great athlete. If you go under the pick, you might get burned. I don't see Flores keeping up with Crystal, although she is a hard-nosed talented point guard. USF doesn't have the combination of size and quickness that UConn has. Talented but not nearly as talented as the Huskies. UConn 92-69.

Fennelly: 24th time the charm for USF women vs. UConn?

It isn’t just your dedication to placating Mr. Mojo that I love to see, it’s the in depth analysis and the insightful reasoning behind your prognostication. You really do the research - neighboring waterholes and all

 

[ochoopsfan]

UConn 63
USF 60

Same score as last years win at Tulane.

 

[bballnut90]

88-64 UCONN

 

[Rayvin56]

93-65, good guys.

 

[Tenspro2002]

3 point defense continues to be a hangup, but too much offense on our side.

UConn 90-65 USF.

(Bonus halftime prediction: UConn 49-39 USF and some well-deserved gnashing of teeth)

I agree this is a real game. We have seen USF in person a couple of times so far this season. Had to buy a package deal to get very good seats! Slow down Laksa or Jesperson and USF is in real trouble. One think I have noticed with Laksa is her 3 points shots are off when she does not set both feet to shoot. She has a tendency to shot off one foot a little more than the other.

Anyway, We will be wear our UConn gear in the middle of a sea of green!!!!!!!!

If CD doesn't play, could be a close game

Wow 100 - 49 Kia shut down Laksa

 

[huskeynut]

Watching Kia in person with her defense was amazing!
