Prognosticator's Game 5 (Villanova) Predictions

[DEpup]

89-62 UConn

Huskies 89-67

Villanova beat both Creighton and SJU, 2 teams ranked above them preseason. We beat Creighton by 33. With no Nika and Mir questionable (doghouse), that means a rotation of 7. But it's really the best 7 we have. It will be interesting to see how UCONN handles a really good scorer Siegrist.

I'm thinking a 26 point win - it's an away game, team is still disjointed (fun fact - we were up 45 points over Xavier at the 5:00 mark in Q3. We won by 47, which basically means they played us even for the final 15 minutes - not impressive by any stretch of the imagination). This team is nowhere near the "roll over opponents" juggernaut some people seem to think we are.

So come on Huskies - prove me wrong!!

UCONN 85

[Lorcan]

Villanova in a monumental upset. 66-65. Don't judge, I always root for the underdog, sorry. I'm also upsetting the woofing gods here against Villanova to guarantee a UConn win.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I’m thinking Siecrist could be a problem. UConn by 80-65.

Unlike Seton Hall's Park-Lane, I think UConn's defense will handle Maddy Siegrist. She'll get double digit points, but I don't think she gets 21 points. She doesn't have the quickness that Park-Lane has and UConn's team defense hold her down.

UConn 87 Nova 56

Looking for Paige to outshine Siegrist like Taurasi outshone Stacey Dales

UConn 90 - Villanova 55. UConn defense.

UConn 93-59

 

[Ozimoto]

The team continues to improve offensively each time out. At a faster rate than I anticipated. I think Villanova will be a little more of a test that Xavier. UConn still wins, however. 95-63

 

[jabstep]

The offense surprised me some but I think it was driven by the defense and a lot of easy transition baskets. Geno seems to be working on different things in each game.
92-54 Uconn

UCONN 90 NOVA 60

UConn holds Siegrist below her season averages, but she still gets a double-double. The Huskies have too many options for the Wildcats, and they win going away 85 – 52 .

Oh man, I forgot to submit my "spot on" predictive insight for the Xavier game, so let me try to right that mistake by getting both teams score EXACTLY correct by Quarter:
1Q 28-16
2Q 20-16
3Q 27-15
4Q 19-18
Final 94-65

 

[The CDR-Ret]

Siegrist held to 13 points; Griffen gets extended minutes after she holds Siegrist to two points (free throws) in the second period; ONO stays accurate at 9/12 for the field; Bueckers gets her double double in Points scored: 21, and assists: 11.
UCONN 91 - Villanova 63; MOV = 28, with UCONN's largest lead of 36 in the middle of 4th quarter, and UCONN scores above 30 points in both the 1st & 3rd quarters. Season average 3 point accuracy improves for Westbrook, Williams and Makurat, AND Autumn hits her first 3pt shot of the year.

91-60, UConn. Go Huskies!
