Has anyone thought of taking the average of all of the predicted scores for each game and comparing to the final score. I tried it only a few times about four years ago. I gave up; too time consuming.

 

[MooseJaw]

OCONN 90- 66

 

[Nyskier]

UConn 92
Creighton 66

So we can prove to Geno that the BY doesn't know anything?

I think that depends on weather Creighton flew in today. If they did probably will play since fans cant go anyway.

Providing the game doesn't get snowed out:

UConn 94 Creighton 60.

Creighton Opened the season with three straight losses. Now on a two game winning streak beating Butler 88-41 and Nebraska 78-62. 2020-21 Women's Basketball Schedule - Creighton University Athletics

UConn pulls away in the second half after a lackluster first half.

101-63. Don't complain that Paige can't guard a chair - she has been told not to foul so she scores 30 instead.

 

[Ex Nutmegger]

101-49. Defensive intensity goes up a notch. No undetected frail midgets running around in this game getting phantom calls.

 

[Topsail]

85-61 UConn

Both are fine for sure, but I was referring to the Amazon Prime series based on the Michael Connelly novels. The eponymously named Bosch is a detective, and there a a pair of fellow detectives nicknamed Crate and Barrel who play a prominent role in the tales. It is well done and features a great jazz soundtrack, as well as fine acting.

I'm doing this more for myself so I can think thru my guess. Creighton was picked 5th in the BE preseason - ahead of Seton Hall, and that was before SHU lost their post player to injury early in the season. And SHU gave UCONN a decent game.

But Creighton started the season 0-3 with losses to Drake, UNI, and SDSU. None of those teams are great, although I think Drake is pretty decent. I have a feeling Creighton is better than I think, but I would not be surprised to see us win by 30-35 points or more.

Our offense is still not on track, but was gangbusters in Q3 with Paige being more assertive. Does she continue that trend in only her 3rd game, or defer back to letting others try to score? Both she and Olivia had monster numbers in Q3.

I think our offense will continue to improve, not leaps and bounds, but in small but noticeable amounts every game. Creighton is capable of scoring over 70 going for 78 and 88 in wins against Butler and Nebraska, but they scored 62, 52, and 47 in their losses. I have a hard time thinking they will score over 50 against UCONN, but we will see.

They jack up a LOT of 3's (almost 30 per game average this season) and have 4 players averaging over 40%. UCONN needs to get out on the shooters, or the game will be a lot closer than anyone would like.

UCONN 88
Creighton 49
