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 22nd game of the season against the DePaul Blue Demons in the Wintrust Arena in Chicago. Doug Bruno who is the HC of the Demons has yet to coach this season due to health issues. He and Geno are longtime friends, and Doug was one of Geno’s assistant coaches during Geno’s USA Women’s basketball time as the head coach. Currently the associate head coach Jill Pizzotti is at the helm. UConn is 24-0 against DePaul all time and 8-0 in conference play. They are 11-11 and 6-3 in the Big East. Their best Massey rated wins are against #112 Butler, 66-43 and 74-67OT on the road. While their worst loss was a 56-64 loss against #130 Northwestern. UConn averages in league play 79.90 on offense and 46.30 on defense vs DePaul’s average of 64.2 on offense and 68.1 on defense. Looking at the scoring difference between the same conference teams played UConn has a large scoring differential. Against Nova UConn is a +42 away and +54 at home, at St. John’s a +19, vs Xavier +47, vs Providence a +20, at Marquette +51 and at Creighton +32.
All predictions and any changes must be submitted by 6:45 PM Eastern. Any submitted after the cut-off will not be accepted.

- The winner must be named, either UConn/Huskies or DePaul/Blue Demons. 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.
- This game won’t be close, I believe that UConn will play all available players and everyone will score. Huskies 105 – DePaul 45.
