Prognosticators Game 9 (Orange) Predictions

[MSGRET]

Wit the short turn around and the need to do some number crunching to figure out who won Game 8 predictions I will start the next Prognosticators Predictions. As you may have noticed I don't like mentioning that team, just use their color, last year I used a different term and the Mods changed it, so their color. If UConn plays like they did in the first quarter we will have problems. This game should be a challenge for the Huskies but they should win it in the end. UConn 86 - Orange 72. All prognostications shall be submitted by 6:55 PM EST or 3:55 PM PST. Attached is the Prognosticators Scoring Criteria and good luck to all.

 

[SLY63]

I think both teams will struggle to score, our better offense wins out...

UConn 76-66

 

[Argonaut]

I think they play their hearts out for Evina’s return and Coach’s 2000th.

UConn 86
Tennessee 61

 

[Ex Nutmegger]

Big dogs 91 - Little voles(no spelling error) 59

 

[eebmg]

UConn 82 TN 71. TN will not want Geno to get win 1100 on their turf but Evina takes over with 20+points, 5+ assists and 3+ steals.

 

[Charliebball]

UConn better play to a higher level against Tenn or they could get tagged with a loss........Tenn is way too athletic and tall to mess around with.........just get the win by any means necessary without injuries and get home safely.......

 

[Urshurak]

UConn 84-69

 

[Calbysdad]

UConn 83 - Puke Orange - 69

 

[EasyEd]

It depends on which Christyn shows up, but I think she'll have a great night in Tennessee. UConn 88 - 73.

 

[Bigboote]

UConn 77 Tenn 59

 

[oldude]

TN is the most talented team UConn has faced to date, and they have a coach that knows what she’s doing.

UConn 74 - TN 66

 

[mattlow710]

Uconn 89 - TN 55

 

[Tonyc]

Uconn 86. Tenn 54

If UConn plays their game Tenn will turn the ball alot. Liv needs to stay out of foul trouble and should have very little problem scoring in double figures. UConns defense is too good and this team is much better then last years team which beat the LV's by 15. I dont think it will be even close unless we get some southern cookin and are n a bunch of foul trouble like we had seen in the past.

 

[Husky fanatic]

UConn 79-58

 

[WiseOne]

75-50 UCONN

 

[meyers7]

Sorry, can't do this one.

We shouldn't be playing this game.

 

[Kaizen]

UConn 88 - 68

 

[PAHuskeyFan]

UCONN 77
Tenn. 62

 

[Skeets]

UCONN 81 - 63

 

[ShmiCO]

UConn 80 - 60

 

[HuskyFan1125]

I like the fact that we are having a second game in the same week because the team needs consistency.

Tennessee is a dangerous team. If they play like they are capable it could be close or an L.

I believe UCONN wins but in a close one.....

72-63

 

[Ozimoto]

The front court is going to have to work a bit harder for their points in this game and they will have to be judicious about fouling. Making foul shots will be important. We should have the advantage in guard play. If the Huskies play good defense and can hit the majority of their open shots they will be ok.

UConn 87, Something Orange to Hit 65.

 

[jpp13]

UCONN 67 EVIL EMPIRE 52

 

[Nyskier]

UConn. 82
Vols. 60

 

[huskeynut]

UConn 81 - 60.

 

[jabstep]

UConn 69-62

 

[Carnac]

UConn 82 TN 71. TN will not want Geno to get win 1100 on their turf but Evina takes over with 20+points, 5+ assists and 3+ steals.

Normally Geno takes his foot off the gas late in games that are decided. I’m hoping that will not be the case here. Keep the pedal to the metal tip to buzzer. Make a statement!!

Massey says UConn by 11, 74-63. Carnac says UConn by 18, 71-53.

 

[HuskyPhan]

Finally a decent test (no disrespect to DePaul)! I have absolutely no confidence on the spread but I feel our Huskies will comport themselves well Uconn 82-65

UConn better play to a higher level against Tenn or they could get tagged with a loss........Tenn is way too athletic and tall to mess around with.........just get the win by any means necessary without injuries and get home safely.......

Where's your score prediction?

I disagree with your Tenn is way too athletic comment as to wit:
Kasi Kushkituah, Marta Suarez and Tamari Key are all limited in what they can contribute. Horston, Davis and Burrell are athletic (so 3) and all with severe flaws-Davis 3 pt shooting is 23%, Horston is a turnover machine with 31 on the year. Burrell disappears for large chunks of time and 24-22 assist to Turnover ratio. She does take the most 3's and is shooting 44% on the year.

This teams assists to Turnover is 185-180 so they are not good with passing. Collectively, this team shoots 32% from 3 point land-terrible. Pack in the defense with Liv, Aubrey and Evina, make them shoot from the outside or force passes into Key or KK and watch the ball turnover.

UConn 82 Tenn 66

Tennessee lost a ton from last year - Harris and Brown to graduation and Green/Massengill to transfer. Brown and Massengill started. Green would have but only played 2 games.

In contrast, UCONN added a ton from last year. I'm with @Tonyc - this game should be a 30+ point blowout, but I'm gonna go with a 24 point win

UCONN 78
Tennessee 54
