Prognosticators Game 23 (SC) Predictions

I don't think UConn will have fun. South Carolina 76 - UConn 65 . They'll have one sub-par quarter and we'll play them pretty equal the other three quarters. They'll try too hard and their shooting woes will come back. As with Oregon, I hope I'm wrong.
 
SC 70
UConn 47

Same script. UConn will have to rely on outside shooting and will not shoot well on the road. Boston will dominate on both ends - she is a very special player. We have no one to match up with her.
 
UConn lost to Baylor 74-58
UConn lost to Oregon 74-56
Lets see if we can get the average exact

UConn 57
So Carolina 74

Uconn couldn’t break 60 against Oregon or Baylor. They’ll need to break 70 to have a chance against SC. Until they show they can fo it I’m betting against. Starting Anna helps. They break 60 but not 70.
 
If it wasn't for the Miss St game I would predict a double digit win for South Carolina easily (I dismiss the Indiana game because of the fouls called too tight and Boston and Herbert-Harrington becoming a non factor because of it). That game with Miss St. was really closer than I thought it should have been...so...I think South Carolina may have learned some things but it will show Geno something he will exploit. I am still going to call it 88-76 South Carolina because Geno doesn't have the means to offset Boston, Harris and Cooke at the same time. You throw in Herbert-Harrington, Saxon Henderson and Grissett....I just don't see UCONN getting out of Columbia with a win. I have been wrong many times though....

If they were playing in Connecticut I’d give UConn a pretty good shot.

I do think Jekyll UConn will show up, but Columbia will be too much.

South Carolina 74 UConn 66

Ok
 
Given home court advantage and being a good basketball team I figure that the Gamecocks have a 65% chance of winning this one. While admittedly I have no idea what the final score will be, I'm going with the underdog - Uconn 72 SC 68.

To me this game is all about Meg. In the only two big games this year her shooting has been less than stellar to say the least. 5 for 20 v Baylor and 3 for 16 v Oregon. For Uconn to make a run in the NCAAs, Meg has to score and she needs to have confidence she can score on good teams. I think I'd rather have Meg go 10 for 16 against SC and lose by 2 than have her go 4 for 16 and win by 2. Mostly I just don't want to have Meg having to deal with another bad shooting day in a big game.
 
UCONN 73 vs SC 68

Scorers for SC:
Herbert Harrigan...13
Harris.........................10
Boston.......................15
Cooke........................12
-----------------------
Beal..............................4
Henderson.................8
Saxton.........................3
Grissett.......................3

Now that Geno has taken my advice :)

At the beginning of the year, I was confident that this UConn team would continue its unbeaten streak against So Carolina. I had more confidence then I had against Baylor and Oregon. Now, however, I don't think this team can beat So Carolina, especially on their home court. So Carolina 81 UConn 65. To beat So Carolina all 5 Starters will have to be in Double digit scoring and stay out of Foul Trouble. UConn's small lineup if Olivia goes to the bench won't work against So Carolina.

Miss State, while a very good team, would never be able to replicate the rate of which they were able to make circus shots as they did in that game. It was a slight fluke.
