Prognosticator's Predictions Game 22 Villanova at UConn

[MSGRET]

Well they went to the State of Orange and won now back to Big East play with #21 Villanova coming this Sunday to the XL Center. UConn should have no problems with this team. They play usually nine deep, with Maddy Siegrist playing 35 minutes a game and scoring on average 28.5 points a game, their only other double digit scorer is Lucy Olsen who plays almost 33 minutes and averages 12.3 points a game. They average just under 71 points a game and their last five games have been Butler 68-58, @DePaul 71-64, St John's 64-61, Xavier 76-38 and @Creighton 73-57. UConn will press hard with Aubrey most likely guard Siegrist and Nika on Olsen. They have no one that can guard or even keep up with Nika, Lou, Aubrey, AE, or Dorka. UConn 95 - Villanova 68.

All prognostications or any changes must state the winner of the game, i.e. UConn or Villanova, not the good guys or our team, Huskies or Wildcats can be used. Any changes to the original prognostication must state that it is a change, with the winning team named, and must have the original thread number included. If a change is accepted you will receive a "Like" showing that it has been changed. All prognostication's and any changes must be submitted NLT 1:55 P.M. Eastern. Attached is the Prognosticator's Predictions Rules and Scoring System, the game is on CBS Sports, and Good Luck to all you Prognosticator's out there.

It's a trap!!!

Villanova has had a week off. Their schedule is nowhere near as tough as UConn's. They are well rested.

Maddy is a fantastic shooter and rebounder. Contain her to some extent and this one shouldn't be too hard. We have to play our game well.

Uconn 82 - Villanova 65

Good, we're rid of that other game we shouldn't have played. Now we can get back to real basketball. I think UCONN's just too big, too athletic. Nova will keep it close with their 3's, but

UCONN will prevail.
83-68.

Nova is a good team and Siegrist is a great player. But at the XL Center on Sunday in front of a large home crowd, the Huskies will prevail.

UConn 88 - Nova 62

Will there be an emotional let down after taking down the Lady Vols that will lead to a slow start? Possibly. However, I think this team ahs taken on a "refuse to lose" mentality so while the game may not be as efficient as expected, the Huskies will win.

UConn 89, Villanova 68.

UConn wins, 84-56.

We have Aubrey and they don't. Love watching Siegrist, but she doesn't face a defender like Aubrey very often. Aubrey let a few Lady Vols drive by her last night (likely was being extra cautious because of the foul situation), so will want to show she is still a lock down defender.

UConn cannot afford to take the second place Wildcats lightly. Aubrey and Aaliyah combine to hold Siegrist to a mere 19 points, and Nika pesters Olsen into several miscues. The Huskies win the rebounding battle by a large margin, rolling to victory.

UConn wins 82 – 65 . MOV 17
