For those that are new to the game and others that have forgotten it is requested that discussions other than prognostications of the game should be posted on other threads that your discussion pertains to. If you wish to prognosticate your prediction that is okay if you post your score. The winner/s will be posted soon after the game’s completion.
UConn plays their 15th game of the season on the road against Villanova, where this season the Wildcats have been a team that seems to have good days and bad days when it comes to playing. They are 7-7 with wins against Massey rated #57 Columbia 68-67, #66 Texas A&M, @#60 St. Joseph’s PA 81-65, and #70 St. John’s 71-57. Their bad losses a #93 Temple 76-62, @#102 Fairfield 74-71 and #79 James Madison 71-67. They are 1-1 in Big East play, beating St John’s 71-57 and losing to Seton Hall 56-55 on a shot at the buzzer by Seton Hall. If they play like they did against the Pirates, they will get eaten alive by the Huskies. If UConn applies the pressure defense like they did against Marquette this game will be over before halftime. The Huskies need to play all four quarters and win all four quarters, no slumps like the third quarter against the Golden Eagles or the second half against the Friars.
All predictions and any changes must be submitted by 1:15 PM Eastern. Any submitted after the cut-off will not be accepted.

- The winner must be named, either UConn/Huskies or Villanova/Wildcats. No predictions like "85-55 the good guys", will be accepted if there isn't a winner stated.
- If prior to the closing of the Prognosticator’s Predictions, you wish to change your prognostication you must submit a new prediction by stating that you wish to change your previous prediction and provide the post number of the original post. If the request for change is submitted prior to the closing of accepted predictions, you will receive a "like" letting you know that it was accepted and changed.
- If someone believes that they have been missed, or someone notices that another fellow Prognosticator has been by the gamekeeper, then it must be brought to the gamekeeper's attention within 24 hours of the posting of the winner(s) game thread.
- If UConn plays like they did against Marquette they will win. I believe that UConn will play everyone, with no player playing more than 25 minutes. UConn 90 – Villanova 45.
