- All predictions and any changes must be submitted by 15 minutes prior to the scheduled tip off. Any submitted after the cut-off will not be accepted.
- The winner must be named, either UConn/Huskies or Syracuse/Orange. 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.
- I believe that UConn will be able to win this game, especially if they play like they did in the last two Big East tournament games, but it won’t be a cake walk. UConn 82 – Syracuse 70.
