Prognosticators Game 7 (ND) [merged thread]

The nerves are going full force, it has the making of being a long night. Team is going to have a few short break downs adjusting to KLS coming back, but UConn will bonce back fast and get in the flow. Being home will make up for it. Fouls have to be kept at the minimum. After the smoke clears UConn 83 - ND 75. If the 3s are falling for us UConn 92 - ND 70
 
So many unknowns on this one going in. I think UConn wins, but the question is by how many? A couple of things to consider.

I suspect ND will go at Azure with multiple people to try to get her into foul trouble and will try to do to her what they did a A'ja Wilson in the first half of the ND South Carolina game.

How effective can Lou be after her layoff? At the very least ND will have to account for her. I think Kia's shooting remains on form.

I think we match up well with Notre Dame and I seriously doubt the ladies will have any trouble focusing on this game. They will have a few days for Geno style preparation while also having some time for a little normalcy and R&R back home.

After all of this rumination, I think the MOV will be 18 points. Huskies 86 and the Leprechauns 68.
 
Here’s a bold prediction. Dangerfield goes for 22 and Walker Uconn Ranger shows up in crunch time as her legacy begins ;)
 
Probably be the best team UCONN has played so far this year. I don't believe UCONN has ever beaten ND on 12/3. So history is not on our side. Unfortunately UCONN will only be up by 6 after 3 quarters. And of course UCONN will be out scored in the 4th. ND breaks UCONN's home winning streak. 73-68.
 
UConn couldn't keep up the overwhelming domination of the past. Teams may be sneaking up on them so don't look for the same results. Notre Dame is a tough team. This game will not be played in an abattoir.

UConn 98
Notre Dame 10

Michigan has no answer for Arike Ogunbowale as No. 3 Irish cruise to victory.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Muffet McGraw noticed some signs of fatigue after Notre Dame won a tournament in Florida last weekend.
The Irish still had enough energy to get past Michigan — and set up a matchup of unbeatens this weekend against No. 1 Connecticut.
Arike Ogunbowale scored 20 of her 32 points in the first half, and No. 3 Notre Dame beat No. 22 Michigan 83-63 on Wednesday night.
The Irish were coming off a victory Sunday over South Carolina that capped a three-wins-in-three-days stretch at the Gulf Coast Showcase.

Gunna be a little more serious here , Huskies 82 , Irish 71, run em out of the gym!!!
 
There’s some uncertainty about this game, not over who wins, but by what margin. If Lou is back and ready to go ND will be forced to chase her around the perimeter allowing Z & Pheesa to have a field day in the post.

I’m going to be optimistic. With Lou back, the Huskies win 88-65
 
UConn 85 ND 62

With or without Lou and Camara its all UConn. ND (Nothin Doing) aint gonna happen. UConns defense knows what to do and they will collapse on ND. I expect Hartford to be Rockin.

Boneyard meeting for all of you who would like to put a face to the screen name will meet before the game and at HalfTime by the Trumbull St exit. Hope to see everybody there and we can exchange thoughts about the game and recruits.

I have UConn 75-54.
 
Wow, you guys don't think ND can score?
I'm going 85 - 70, our gals.
 
Yesterday, Arike Ogunbowale had a field day against the Wolverines and dropped 32 on them. She won't have that kind of success Sunday. Either gabby or Kia will guard her. ND will score, just not enough to win.

UConn 88 - ND 76
 
UConn 82-68....might be close in the first half but UCONN goes on a 3rd quarter run and extends the lead to 20+. ND closes the margin in garbage time.

Proud of you - you are the yin to the rest of us yangs. Now that Mojo has been placated, I can enjoy watching the UConn win
 
We haven't looked great on offense or defense, but we have superior talent and are playing at home.

UConn 78-69 ND, with most of the game played with a 5-10 point margin.
 
Uconn 83 Irish 76 MOV 7. The Irish against Uconn is like the Cowgirls against the Sooners---EMOTIONAL
I am certain ND will be the toughest opponent so far. Azura will have 4 fouls in the first half. Gabby 3. Irwin, Walker, AEH see PT.
How's that for walking a plank??

With injuries ND down to 8 players.

Sound familiar?

Even then, a dangerous opponent.

Thinking UConn 78, ND 68. A struggle.
 
The Clash of the Titans - could be ESPN's headline.

However, ND down to 8 players. ND has not seen a tough defense yet. Match-ups not in favor of ND. Lou will play some but not a lot. Just enough to be Muffet's spider!

UConn 81 ND 60.

Yeah, ND is a dangerous opponent, but we have Dangerous:
