Prognosticators Game 20 (Villanova) Predictions

UCONN 80 Villanova 55 MOV 25
The Defense cools down Maddie S. and the bench
gets good playing time. Go Amari! Go Piath!
 
I hope the MOV is larger, but I'll go with UConn 79 Cats 70.

I think they build on the Tennessee game. The joy on the bench and the intensity on the floor indicate that basketball is finally fun again. Huskies 87, Wildcats 63.
 
Huskies 84-56. Siegrist gets her 25 pts but it's a team game and Huskies put 5 in double figures. Wildcats spend so much time trying to keep Azzi under 25 pts that Caroline goes off for 25 herself!
 
.-.
I'm among those hoping that the last game was the opening game for the revived Huskies. I think it was. Uconn slows down Seigrist (like last year where she was totally frustrated) and wins by 32 in a Huskie 87-55 rout.
 
.-.
Best wins are a 4 point victory over Oregon State (12/12/21) and a 10 point win over Creighton (1/23/22)
 
No score predictions here, we'll most likely win

We all enjoyed the UTenn game, I did too
But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

if Caroline comes back, yet another lineup?
Christyn and even Azzi, were hardly a house of fire in the first half
Can we count on Aaliyah to play a nearly flawless game again? Be nice.

There 's still tinkering, even backsliding possible.
Let's not get over-hyped so if one of the next games is a stinker
We shouldn't be so hyped that we all go nuts.

I don't want my emotions to whip-lash back and forth
On this board, you can't tell people what to do, I won't even advise.
But the kids need patience while they find their ultimate modus.
 
UCONN wins 85 - 51; MOV 34 pts. Hopefully all are available for warmups, and PB looks smooth in moving at 3/4 speed and both Azzi and Caroline are lighting it up from beyond the arc, and all of the women have solid games - "firing on all cylinders" kind of game as tournament time is getting near....

Some pros and cons. Villanova is very good when Siegrist plays. She is on a hot streak, though those games were against the weakest teams in the conference. Christyn shut down Siegrist in March, but Maddie is motivated and should be a much better player now. Though Villanova likes to shoot the 3-ball, they are an anemic .297 from distance. Don't be overconfident in the euphoria after the Tennessee game. UConn by 76-64. I'm hoping it's 90-50, but being cautious in calling for a fairly close game. I expect to see a mixture of the recent improved play and some slippage back to sloppiness.
