Prognosticators Game 23 (SC) Predictions

[HiDribble]

So Carolina 77-61

 

[EasyEd]

87-83 OT SC wins with a 4th quarter comeback.

If it goes to OT South Carolina would win. Can't remember the last time UConn won an OT game.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

If this game plays to form it will probably be something like South Carolina 74 - UCONN 67.

But I have no idea how the actual game will play out. I think South Carolina should win at home vs this UCONN team, but it would hardly be much of a surprise if they didn't.

Looking forward to watching it. I actually would not mind if it this one came down to the last few possession as I want to see South Carolina in that position another time.

2003 vs. Tennessee

Statistically, it should happen again soon, right?

 

[Roundball fan]

We are who we are. I believe 76-71 UConn

 

[cockhrnleghrn]

I'll wave to you from section 118 in my UConn long sleeve. I hope there won't be too much heckling.

---

I predicted UConn wins against Oregon and Baylor, and we all know how that one ended.

SC 71
UConn 65

Hopefully I'm very wrong.

Welcome to Columbia; the game will be sold out; only 130 tickets were remaining at 11:30 this morning.

I typed in So.Carolina75 Uconn 65 and my computer made an angry sound and started smokin'. I switched it to Uconn 75 and So.Carolina 65 and and both the angry sound and the smoke went away.Now i hope some angry Huskies make this final score come true.

 

[YankeeJim]

hurts to write it. SC 78 - UCONN 63

 

[Jeff H]

In a strange way I think that bad home loss to Oregon may take some of the pressure off. I think everyone plays a little looser and they show well, but SC has the edge this year. SC 77 UConn 72.

 

[Ricker]

71-60 UConn

 

[Rixxx]

IMO - SC should win, they are #1. I have only seen SC a couple of times, not 20 games. Harris makes the team go. Control Harris. KHH is a nice player, but to me she is not a game changer. She has height, but I think Anna could guard her. Hopefully, Boston and ONO cancel each other out. Dawn can bring more height in with Grisset (sp), but again not a game changer. Like Louisville with Evans, I think Saxton for SC can change the game. So my biggest worries are Harris and Saxton.

UCONN 67 - SC 67 OT Winner ????

 

[UConnCat]

I thought UConn had a chance until I read the ESPN article. The WWL tells us UConn can't win a game like this without Paige Bueckers. Wait until next year.

 

[ocoandasoc]

UConn 63 SC 55

 

[mrmojack]

Uconn 71-68

 

[hart2hart]

UCONN wins 80 to 77 if all stay out of foul trouble. Let have constant movement, passing and cutting. I just love our back door cuts! Let’s get 10 tonight! Go Huskies!

 

[Ralph]

SC 72 UConn 68. Can't lose. If SC wins I have the right pick. If UConn wins I get to smile big time. Here's hoping I lose with a big smile on my face.

 

[southofnorth]

Based on the other two games against the top 5, I'd have to go with SC winning.
SC wins it 80-56

I hope I'm wrong.

 

[chrissaran]

Tough game, tough call. UConn 78-73.

 

[Rixxx]

If Dawn dusts off a zone defense, the movement tends to stagnate.

 

[SCGamecock]

If Dawn dusts off a zone defense, the movement tends to stagnate.

Lol I hope she does, just to throw a wrench in there because Geno definitely has his tricks ready for us as usual.. but we've played a zone literally once this year so I'm not holding my breath. We'll see.

 

[BostonBay]

I think Boston put ups a 30-15 double-double tonight. A screaming crowd of 18K will also influence the refs.

 

[Flyinsouth]

SC 72
UConn 64

 

[SVCBeercats]

UCONN 66 South Carolina 81

Of course it would be a Blue Devil to be the voice of reason.

 

[Big Mick]

Prediction: UCONN 73 vs SC 68

Scorers for SC:
Herbert Harrigan...13....10
Harris.........................10....19
Boston.......................15....13
Cooke........................12....15
Beal..............................4.......5
Henderson.................8......6
Saxton.........................3.......0
Grissett.......................3.......2

AAGH! got that one wrong

SC performed as expected; UCONN didn't.

So, we lost by 18. Big deal. The big concern going in was a perceived height disadvantage; well, scratch that as both teams had 40 rebounds. Totally unexpected was the two points from Williams and zero points from Makurat. A combined 4 points from two positions, tells the story. Those 2 positions contributing as they surely will (down the road) and we win the game.

SC won't improve measurably this year; whereas, UCONN will. I'm totally expecting Williams, Makurat and Griffin to come good.

Anyway, I still see a final four team.

So SC’s young players won’t improve but UConn’s will.....?
