This game was not the one that I thought I would be doing today's prognostication on, but it's one that I think will be a good test for the current playing roster. Evidently CW will most likely miss according to the vibe coming out of Storrs. With that this game should be interesting as well as challenging.
DePaul is currently in second place with one loss and has the whole arsenal and is scary good when on point, but also has some problems against teams that have size. The only "ranked" team they've beaten in Kentucky, which many people say is overrated and have lost to Texas A&M, Arizona, Notre Dame, and Marquette.
Their tallest player is a 6-3 Freshman and have 4 other players that are 6-1. They have most likely the Big East Freshman of the Year who currently averages 20.3 pts, 12.5 rbds, and averages almost 28 minutes a game. The starting five are all scoring in double figures averaging 10.5 - 20.3 pts a game and average play is 27.6 to 32.2 minutes.
I believe that the current players that UConn has can be a big challenge to the Demons as long as they play with the intensity that they have the last couple of games if they can minimize their turn-overs and get the ball down low for the bigs to score. The defense has been better and they have to keep it up and force the Demons to take rushed shots. If they play with the intensity and befuddle the Demons UConn will win. UConn 85 - DePaul 73. All predictions and any changes must be in by 8:00 PM Eastern, the winner must be stated, and any changes must state that it replace the previous prediction. Attached is the Prognosticator Rules and Scoring sheet and Good Luck to all you prognosticators out there. I would have posted this last night, but I had a birthday to celebrate, my last in the 60's.
