Home game. UNC has lost a few lately but has had moments and has some size.

UConn 72, UNC 65 for a 7 point MOV.

UNC does not shoot well from behind the arc or from the FT line. They have size on their roster, but their starters are similar in height to the Huskies. They are not a high-scoring team, but all three of their losses were by single digits. The UConn women aim to change that, winning 76 – 61 . MOV 15

This is a home game for UConn and they absolutely need this win. They match up well, they have played a tougher schedule and they probably are starting to settle in to life after injuries. I expect them to play hard and come out with a win.

NC doesn't shoot well from the arc, but teams that don't, seem to light it up against Uconn because Geno still does not require them to defend against the 3, so they get open shots.

Defense against Ball State was only meh at best. Offense was a little better.

UNC is tough, they can brawl. So, can UConn get some rebounds? AE and AG going to disappear again?

Time will tell, until then:

UNC 71 - UConn 68

UConn 73, UNC 69. MOV 4

The key will be offense and rebounding. UNC hung with South Car and out rebounded them. I'm hoping that UConn's offense is good enough and they don't get bogged down. The freshman are always a wild card, but I think they have enough confidence to provide meaningful minutes.
