This game is at the XL Center and not Gampel, it should be played in the Pavilion, it seems that it is a the students are getting a raw deal. The crowds always seem to be louder at Gampel vs the XL. I believe that the UConn team that shows up will be more in line with the one that played against the team that wears Orange, then the one that has played the last two games. If it is then SC has not played a team like UConn this season, I have watched the Gamecocks a couple of times and they are not a team that likes to run or play against one that can. UConn will have a little over 3 days of rest which should help on the mental and physical problems of the last two games. I also hope that the refs don't let the game play be like the last two games, that IS NOT basketball, if they let the manhandling like both Nova and the Friars did against UConn, then there is little chance that they will be able to win. If Lou and Aaliyah are back to their pre Nova/Friars self then it's UConn's chance to pull it out. I'm going with a less physical game then the previous two games. UConn 78 - South Carolina 70.

All prognostications or any changes must state the winner of the game, i.e.
UConn or South Carolina, not the good guys or our team, Huskies or Gamecocks 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 11:55 A.M. Eastern. Attached is the Prognosticator's Predictions Rules and Scoring System, the game is on FOX, and Good Luck to all you Prognosticator's out there.

too much to overcome in this one with fatigue, & injuries. The killer will be TO s & giving them too many Offensive boards as they are not a great shooting team. If we could limit the TOs and their OBs then we would have a chance of beating them.
SC 71-52
 
Sorry, but this team is worn down. South Carolina has way too much quality depth for these 5 to handle.
South Carolina 87
UConn 59

But UConn will go to school on this one and win when it counts.

UConn doesnt need this game.Would be nice to get the win but need to stay focus on the BE,BE championship and NCAA tourney.
 
I think South Carolina is a particularly bad match-up for us. Their strengths are:
  1. Aggressive athletic guards
  2. Big physical front court
  3. Excellent offensive rebounders
  4. Deep bench
I see a very tough task (IMO Stanford, or anyone else, would be a better matchup)

Too many turnovers for us and offensive rebounds for So Car...
