UConn hosts #15 Notre Dame at Gampel, the “White Out” game which is sold out. The Irish is a different team since the return of Citron, but they still lost to North Carolina at home, a team UConn beat 76-64 in the second game of UConn’s current starting lineup. UConn has won every game by double digits with the current starters. The Irish is 5-2 in the ACC with wins over Massey rated @Pitt #148 71-66, Boston College #75 98-48, Miami #39 70-59, @Virginia #72 86-76 and @Wake Forest #134 75-56.

Eastern then will have less than 48 hours turnaround time including travel and practice before playing a UConn team that will at least have 3 days for practice and rest.

- All predictions and any changes must be submitted by 7:45 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 Notre Dame/Irish. 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 missed 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 many problems with the Irish, they will wear them down by the end of the 3rd quarter and get revenge for last year’s loss. UConn 88 – Irish 67.
