Prognosticators Game 2 (Minnesota) Predictions

Not sure what @MSGRET was looking at then he reviewed the Gophers first 4 games of Jacksonville, ASU, GW and American as I would have predicted the EXACT 3-1 record they have. Granted I would have had Jacksonville as a win and ASU as a loss but anyone would have bet on them beating GW and American. That does not mean they are remotely good-they aren't.

UConn gets the kinks worked out, Aubrey plays some and the final is 90-68.

After seeing the loss to Jacksonville, I figured that they would lose to at least ASU and at best be 2 - 2.
 
UConn 90- Minny 68

I don’t think Geno is going to want to embarrass Whalen

You obviously over rated ASU who is really, really bad. They will give Cal a good run for the basement of the PAC12.
I watched that Minn-ASU game and both were brutal. Minn blew an 10 point lead at 8:23 of that game (50-40) and only scored 4 points the rest of the 4th that allowed ASU back in and into OT. Just bad basketball and bad coaching.

So upon further reflection, I want to revise my prognostication.
UConn 92-53

Still a bit ragged. Working the bigs in this one. Evina continues to shine. UConn 89-54

Revision has been accepted and changed.
 
Uconn 100 to 50 winners. If UConn doesnt win by 30+, something is very wrong.

dogs eat rodents for lunch:

UConn 87
Minn 57

I think they will improve on defense, but Paige will not be as dominant, so UConn won't score as much.
UConn 84 Minn 66
 
UCONN 96 - MN 58; Grandma stays hot from 3 pts range, but Paige is still leading scorer; the "Bigs" learn how to not foul as much _ only three fouls each for Dorka, AE, and ONO
 
UConn? this,

UMinn? that,

seriously, who doesn't prefer ice cream to an ice storm? u see any cherries on top of that frozen mess? so that's my prediction, a chilled concoction, with a cherry on top, comes out ahead of a frosty disaster, every time, according to my exhaustive poll of the fleabags, a few oat chompers, and me.
and for gametime weather forecast? sprinkles! (jimmies? shots?)

On Saturday UConn will only be playing their 2nd game going up against Minnesota (3-1) a team that is on a 3 game winning streak and is playing their 5th game of the season does UConn have to worry? NO...NYET....NEIN!!! It's MINNESOTA, not South Carolina. I didn't think that the Gophers would have a 3-1 record when playing UConn, but they haven't played Nthat is close to the caliber of Arkansas. Geno has had a few days to work some of the kinks out of last Sunday's game and the Freshman and Sophomore's have played in front of real people so they should be a little less nervous and more focused. UConn will win by 40...UConn 94 - Minnesota 54. All scores must be submitted by Noon Eastern or 9 Pacific. Attached are the rules and scoring criteria and GOOD LUCK to all you Prognosticator's out there.I'm

I'm guessing that the focus will be on DEFENSE against the Gophers. Geno will probably be relentless in practice this week, really roasting anyone who doesn't satisfy him.
So, I'm going to say: UCONN - 75, Minnesota - 48
 
82-69 UConn. Bench clears early to rest rotation for game 2 and (likely) final match-up with SC.
