Prognosticators Tournament Game 4 (Mercer) Predictions

.-.
.-.
UConn rolls 87 – 41 . We will win the battle of the boards by a large margin. We need to minimize our turnovers, and guard their freshman 3-point shooter (41%) closely. We should be able to score a lot in the paint.
 
FYI: Vegas just posted the spread for this game. UCONN is favored by 30 with an over/under of121 total points.
It is the 2nd highest point spread of all the opening games. LOL... South Carolina is favored by 43 points over Howard!!
So right around 76-46, huh?
 
amending my original prediction to Uconn 88-30, still it doesn't seem that close:)
 
Shooting will be a little off in first quarter. After they work out the rust they will dominate. And they didn't forget how to play defense.
UConn 81 Mercer 42
 
SOCON DPOY.
I watched part of a Mercer Vs. Georgia game and with 6 seconds left in a quarter, #21 grabbed a rebound and then dribbled up to the 1/2 court line and swished a shot before the buzzer.
That's when the announcer mentioned that she was a SOCON All Conference player.

As I watched her more closely she's able to block shots from behind and make turn around jumpers when guarded.
She's athletic, a decent ball handler and offensive player.

I'm not changing my prediction but I know that South Carolina beat Howard today 79-21. I know UConn likes to play "anything you can do I can do better" with them so I'm hoping they can channel their best UConn vs St. Francis opener but with better defense :D.

It may be close for the first 5 minutes while the teams figure each other out. After that not so much. UConn 89, Mercer 55. 34 point MOV. I've been wrong all year with the exception of one game, so I doubt this will be how it ends up...
UConn 92
Mercer-46
