Prognosticator's Game 6 (DePaul) Predictions.

UCONN 88, DePaul 65

UConn, 99-62

Who the heck knows (where's Carnac?) I'll guess at Uconn 91 to 69.

Bruno's starting 5 usually goes 5'8", 3 at 5'10", and one 5'11". Against UConn he may put in one of his "bigs" (all 6'1" or 6'2"). This season 38% of their shot attempts have been from beyond the arc. Against UConn I expect it to be closer to 50% or over. If Edwards is healthy, she and Liv will dominate inside. Huskies 97 – Blue Demons 72

DePaul's continues its roller-coaster of performance with an outstanding first half, but in the first five minutes of the third quarter UCONN absolutely wears them out. Although Edwards has limited time {tune up for Baylor}, ONO leads with 5 blocks, but only two fouls; CWill is high scorer, Bueckers second, ONO 3rd, Makurat goes 5 for 6 in 3-pointers, and Evina loads up the box score again.
UCONN 96 to DePaul 69, for a 27 MOV

DePaul has won the games they were favored in, and one game they weren't favored in. Lots of 3-point shots. We need to defend the 3 better. UConn 92-69.

I don’t believe we will blow them out. Close game UConn 93-70

 

[azfan]

UCONN 88- DePaul 71

I don’t believe we will blow them out. Close game UConn 93-70

I love your definition of close.

101-54 UConn

 

[WestCoastPup]

84 - 69 Good Guys (UConn)

 

[DaBball]

106-71 Uconn

 

[itsasport]

It won't be close; but, I don't think Geno will run up the score against his old friend.

 

[Nyskier]

UConn 95
DePaul 65

 

[veryolddog]

I do not really know. Guess UConn 92 - DePaul 62. Ask @Carnac, he is the all seeing far-reaching one on this board.

 

[toadfoot]

UConn 97-58

 

[Zinethar]

This is the tune-up UConn needs before Baylor so I will go for UConn winning 93-68.

 

[VaConnFan11]

UConn 97-71

 

[Ozimoto]

The final score will depend on how quickly DePaul can get back on defense after a missed shot. Since they take a lot of threes there will likely be a lot of long rebounds so that could slow down the UConn break. I also suspect that if UConn develops a significant lead Geno might want to slow things down and work on half court offense for the Baylor game. Of course, I could also be talking through my hat.

In any case, I think UConn wins handily with a MOV of 31 at 93 to 62.

As an aside, a lot of posters say that the Huskies need to defend better on the perimeter and while I haven't looked up stats, I don't think any team we have faced has shot at or above their team percentages on threes (or twos for that matter) yet. I know, it's very early for that sort of stat to mean much.
