Butler is the worst team in our league. I will be surprised if we don't win by over 50. When Liv and Evina were asked in the pre-game presser "What have you been working on since the last game - Geno wasn't happy about some things - that you are excited to implement?"

Both of them talked about defense, specifically communicating more on defense. I think the defense will be swarming and I will be surprised if Butler scores more than 40

UCONN 94
Butler 38
Butler won’t score more than forty if UConn can and will keep the pressure on (their foot on the gas) for 40 minutes, and not ease up late in the game. There will be lots of rust to shake off.

The starters must be ready for Tennessee on Thursday. Geno may leave them in until he’s satisfied with their play. UConn is the biggest game on TN’s schedule. This game will be ugly too, but a different kind of ugly.

The Lady Vols are going to do everything they can to avenge last year’s loss, and protect their house. A nationally televised game, the world will be watching.

You can bet UConn is going to get Tennessee's best. Evina’s teammates know how much this game means to her. They’ll have her back. UConn and Evina leave Knoxville smiling and content with a win. ;)

Husky bites
Auriemma said he has not been part of any discussions about extending UConn’s series with Tennessee beyond this year.

UConn 87 Butler 49

UConn comes out rusty and Geno will go deep into the bench to give role player minutes. Although he may decide the Top 7 players need the minutes to get ready for the Lady Vols on Thursday. If that's the case UConn might score 100+ points.

That's whats got ESPN in all twisted up about hyping the series so much. They want (maybe need) UConn on their stations when it comes to Women's basketball. UConn is going to be a powerhouse over the next 5 to 7 years with who Geno has coming on board. FOX, CBS Sports, and SNY are the one airing the games not ESPN. Next year they may have 3 games max during the regular season and they want more.

Looks like we may finally get game 8 of the season, hoping that it all goes smoothly from here on out. Butler is way over matched in this contest. They were competitive against Seton Hall for the first two quarters, but fell by 15 in the end only scoring a total of 25 points in the last two. UConn is going to play their first game since the Providence game on January 9th. The team is ready to play a game and if the practices are supposed to be harder than the games, this game will be most likely be like the battle of Tippecanoe, UConn is W.H. Harrison and Butler is the Prophet equals a massacre of the Bulldogs. With all that being said UConn 105 - Butler 44. All prognostications must be submitted by 6:25 EST or 3:25 PST. Good luck to all you Prognosticator's out there and the Prognosticators Scoring criteria is attached.
UConn, 83-45
