Providence travels to Hartford to play the Husky’s at XL Center, hopefully it will be a sellout with the fans showing support for UConn. Providence is 2-1 in Big East play a 1.5 games behind the Huskies. Their BE wins were at Seton Hall 51-46 and at home against DePaul 72-65. Their loss was at home against St John’s 55-48. The Friars SoS by Massey is #131, average 57.1 points a game, 39 rebounds, 11.9 assists, 7.4 steals, 4.1 blocks, 20.3 turnovers, 41.1 FG%, 65.9 FT%, and have a 29.4 3pt%. Their best win was against Seton Hall, Massey rated #71 and worst loss was against Iona, Massey rated #259. Offensively they are ranked 252nd while defensively they are ranked 51st vs UConn being ranked 5th in offense and 7th in defense. The only thing that UConn might have some problems with is size, and with Aubrey sitting out it might hinder the Huskies.
Providence has 10 upperclassman, 3 SR's and 7 JR's, with 1 SO and 5 FR, so they are an experienced team. The starters for the game against St. John’s were Olivia Olsen F 6’3” JR who averages 27.8 min, 14.7 pts, 8.7 rbds and 1.9 blks. Bryan Farrell G 6’ SR averages 27.8 mins, 10.1 pts, 5.3 rbds and 1.7 ast. Marta Morales Romero F 6’1” JR averages 28.4 min, 7.2 pts, 4 ast and 2.3 stls. Laryn Edwards G 5’6” SR averages 25.9 min, 4 pts, 2.5 rbds and 1.7 ast. Emily Archibold F 6’ JR averages 3.5 pts, 4.9 rbds and 1.6 ast. They had 5 bench players also play in the game for a total of 44 minutes scoring 10 point and clearing 5 rebounds. Over the last 5 DIV 1 games UConn has averaged 89.2 pts while giving up 58.6 while the Friars are averaging 51.6 pts and giving up 56 pts.

- All predictions and any changes must be submitted by 4:15 P.M. Eastern on game day, any submitted after the cut-off will not be accepted.
- The winner must be named, either UConn/Huskies or Providence/Friars. 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.
- I don’t see UConn having any problems with the Friars, they will wear them down by the end of the 3rd qtr and get another conference win. UConn 92 – Providence 44.
