UCONN beat Butler last time out by 45, but we had Dorka for that game with Evina and Liya coming off the bench. This game we will have no Dorka but we will have Azzi. So which UCONN team will we see? The team that got taken out behind the woodshed vs. Creighton for the first quarter and a half, or the team who ended Q3 and started Q3 on an 18-0 run clamping down on defense and eventually ending with a 20 point win?
Obviously I'm hoping for the 2nd. This game is at home. I hesitate to predict an epic beatdown, but Butler is 1-17 overall, in lats place in the BE, and in their last game, lost to the 3rd worst team in the BE (Georgetown) by 16. I never seem to get these things right - game I think should be close aren't, and games I think we should roll, we often don't. Will we overlook this game with Tennessee looming? I hope not.
UCONN 94
Butler 44
