UCONN 67-55

I am hoping for a larger margin of victory, but I picked this as the score in each of the first two rounds and I was pretty darn happy with the outcome. I’m giving in to superstition and going with the same score for the final.

I think Azzi hits some big 3s today and Nova starts to look a little tired midway through the 3rd after a tough game yesterday evening.

Couple things. Siegrist had to score 37 for Villanova to beat Creighton. Won't happen against UConn. And (here's my bug-a-boo about shots taken) in the game between V and C both teams only shot about 50 shots. UConn shot 67 shots against Marquette. UConn's shooting percentage was only a bit better than V and C. So...

UConn 75
Villanova 55

Can someone other that AE carry the team? Villanova will shut down the inside and make UCONN shooters show up tonight. They haven't been on target yet in the tournament but tonight they break loose and UCONN puts in on Villanova.

Now I do expect Geno to call off the dogs if they are way ahead. But tonight the tired legs belong to the Wildcats.

As was said above, it isn't easy to beat a good team three times is one season. Villanova is a good team. However, they had a tough game yesterday.. It was also the later game so just a few hours less rest than the Huskies. Their three ball shooting percentage is better than the Huskies. However, the Huskies defense played piranha to Marquette's roast yesterday.

Defense wins championships. Azzi's shots drop tonight. UConn 82, Villanova 68.

IMO, whenever you play a team like 'Nova (or Iowa) with a dominant star, I would make Seigrist (sp) work hard and take a lot for shots for her 25-30 points by switching up athletic defenders. And then don't let the role players score more than 30 and limit their 3's. That keeps them around 60-65 points which makes it hard for them to win

 

[Urshurak]

UConn needs to be all up in the grill of Siegrist and Olsen. Hard Hard Hard defense. Make nothing easy for Villanova.
Azzi / Lou nail some 3's. Hopefully 8 or so team combined.

UConn 74 - VU 62
