78-72 Blue
Lead by the presumptive NPOY, Oregon is the highest scoring team in WBB, an extremely talented and formidable opponent. But UConn hasn’t lost at Gampel in a very long time, and there is one matchup where the Huskies have a big edge: Geno vs Graves. UConn will find a way.
Huskies win 72-69.
Geez - already making excuses? I bet Sabrina isn’t making excusesI'm not convinced that edge (which of course exists) is as big as many seem to assume, but, in any case, I think a more important factor will be that this will be the fourth straight game on the road for Oregon (following the first war again Oregon State in Eugene) and the third in five days--not to mention the fact that Oregon will have crossed 3 time zones by late Saturday or early Sunday. If the game were on a neutral court or even in Hartford, I'd be optimistic about an Oregon win, since I believe they are the better team, but in Gampel with all the banners and a win streak that has been going on forever? Not so much. So my bottom line hope is that the game is a good one and Oregon plays well win or lose, with the score within five either way.
@meyers7 family and friends helping with mojoI've never seen so many predictions of UConn losing a regular season home game..............I have no idea who will win this game based on UConn's Jekyl and Hyde personality....................I can't remember the last time UConn lost a game when they shot really well so obviously that's the key to the game................against my better judgement I'm going to be Mr Positive and say UConn 84-79

Can I just bet the barn?The Huskies have started to show some moxie recently! They are forming a "winning" identity, so I have UCONN pulling it out 70 to 69! The 4th period will be their best!
I think we out hustle and out gut them as Anna and Audrey continue their BB ascent!
Anna has a big night with the 3's and the big 4, Williams, Crystal Dangerfield, Walker and ONO come through also!
Meg will play like the Player of the Year she is and Williams will finally break out of her slump!
Bet the farm on it!
You missed @WestCoast, post #3 and @slug25, post #34. Don't want them to get PO'd at you and never give you a deserved like.I can't believe how many UConn fans are predicting we lose. Suspect/hope our team doesn't have the same inferiority complex - geez... I was there and saw Oregon lose to ASU, who basically looks like an intramural team compared to UConn. The Ducks are human (does that make sense????) and can be beat. UConn wins this game, some how, some way.
I say.... UConn 74-70
Edit: I just went back through this whole thread and gave everyone who predicted a UConn win a 'like'. The other ones - I know who you are![]()
