Prognosticators Game 23 (SC) Predictions

I'm hearing this game is going to be a sellout.....again. It would be the 3rd straight game in CLA in the series with 18,000......
 
South Carolina is talented, but young. If you key in on Harris and Harrigan defensively, you force freshman to beat UConn. I think we match up decently with them, so it all depends on if we are able to hit shots in a road environment.

I’m not fully convinced, so I’ll go South Carolina 74 UConn 66

If the Huskies play like they did yesterday they will be right in it. However, they have not been consistent this year and have seemed a bit star struck/tight when playing other top teams. SC 75, UConn 63.

There are still some upper deck GA tickets and a few hundred student tickets remaining. The crowd will be at least 17,000 if not completely sold out.

So far, UCONN's toughest games have been at home or on the road (Depaul) in front of a sparse crowd, so I could see that being somewhat of a factor. My prediction is USC 77 UCONN 66. I'll be in my angry rooster t-shirt 4 rows behind the scorer's table end next to Geno. Say hi if you're there.

Conway, I took your posts to the math department at Princeton. They said that it would take a few weeks to decipher it but they think they have the personnel to do it and will get back to me with the results.

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.
 
UConn just undersized against all three top teams. SC wins which is not my preference. Will be rooting for the Huskies.

Indiana wasn't any bigger than we are now by any great measure. We are a better perimeter shooting team. If we play our game and stay out of foul trouble I have full confidence we will win! Go Huskies!
UConn 73
SCarolina 67
 
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.

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

2003 vs. Tennessee

Statistically, it should happen again soon, right?

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.
 
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.

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 ????
 
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.
 
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!
