This will be a game of contrasts. SC will try to slow the game down while UConn will try to speed it up. SC will lean on Wilson on offense while the Huskies will be more balanced. It will be close for awhile, but the Huskies will pull away down the stretch.

UConn 75 - 58

I have a hard time thinking we score over 80. SC will be dialed in on defense. Even still, UCONN has not scored less than 75 points in a game, even against the murder's row of competition we've faced this season.

UCONN 78
SC 64

Meant to add, however, that I hope we slaughter them by 30+. Sort of like the beatdown Baylor put on Texas, or L'ville put on ND, or ND put on FSU... I'd love to see a statement smackdown by UCONN...

We've had two games against teams on the top 2 seed lines, and both of them have been competitive in the 4th quarter.

UConn 69-62 South Carolina

So far this season has had a 2001-type feel to it, where the whole isn't quite what we expected the sum of the parts to be (and some of those parts haven't been as great as expected). We are a lot more vulnerable than many thought we would be this year.

Might need me for this game.

Wilson and Cuevas as Seniors? They gotta win one in their career. At home. This will be the one.

S. Carolina in a hard fought game. 77-72.

Thank you - thank you!! Not that I think we need all the stars aligned and proper mojo placating - but it never hurts to have a proven sign to allay concerns about how we will feel Friday morning. :rolleyes:

Most of the estimates have U Conn winning by 10-15 points. A few have it closer, and less larger than that range. My initial thoughts were in that 10-15 point win range.
I believe a significant factor now will be the five days to prepare since the last game. I think this benefits U Conn, Geno, the coaches and the players. I also think we have to prepare for one truly dominant player and they have to prepare for seven, and possibly eight (MW might just play a meaningful role in this one).
Al in all my guess is U Conn 84 - South Carolina 66.
