Prognosticators Tournament Game 5 (Syracuse) Predictions

[MSGRET]

Good first round game against High Point except for the injury to Nika and a few mistakes UConn looked ready to play. High Point made 9 of 34 threes, some of them where pure luck, and was 20 for 61. If the Huskies can do the same against Syracuse 26% from 3pt and 33% total, then they should have few challenges in moving forward to the Sweet Sixteen. I hope that they can give Nika a night off so she can be rested and be able to play her usual type of game on the 28th. Hopefully with Nika resting on Tuesday it's UConn 95 - Syracuse 48. All prognostications must be in 15 minutes prior to broadcast time. Attached is the Pronosticators Rules and Scoring Criteria. Good luck to all you prognosticators out there.

The Cuse has some size, but the Huskies will turn them over frequently and score in transition.

UConn 76 - Syracuse 54

UConn 77 Syracuse 63

It will be interesting to see how Olivia plays against the Low Post players that Syracuse have. They'll play her physical and as we know Olivia doesn't like that type of game. Hopefully the Refs won't be calling the moving screens/picks like they did against High Point.

 

[Ozimoto]

UConn 88, Syracuse 70.

[Veteran]

Predictions:
1. Return of lock down defense, UConn 83-51
2. Paige - Another Paige-like performance
3. Nika - Once again defies medical science and returns to the starting five
4. Me - Totally confident of the sweet 16 but lost sleep tonight anyway

 

[eebmg]

I think it will be relatively close. 71-58
