I expect NC St guards to be tough defensively. I think it will come down to limiting turnovers and easy baskets for NC St. I think we will limit TOs and win a close defensive battle, UConn 65-61.

It should be a hard fought game for both teams…a nail biter..just hope UCONN is on the winning end…score doesn’t matter to me ..a win by one point is a WIN…I will be going to Minneapolis I sure hope I bring my team with me.

 

[Jingo]

UConn will score a lot of points in the paint with the combo of Liv, Dorka and AE vs Cunane ... plus Caroline and Paige posting up their tiny guards, giving Conn a MOV of 15 (or so) points ... UConn 70 - NCS 55

 

[BlueSkyGLW]

Have been waiting for UConn offense to catch up to its defense. It starts against NC State. Outside shooting gets back in gear as Azzi and Paige iron out the kinks from the last game. Dorka adds to the scoresheet this time.

84-65 as they allow a team to score more than 60 after a long while.

Going to need Caroline to get some serious minutes!

Huskies get off to a better start. Our seniors are showing determination that we haven't had in a while. Our guards spread the floor well and make some early threes.
UConn 73 - NC 59

I'm a bit off on this because I can't find Carnac's scores!!

So, I'll go with Oldude's score Uconn 70 The Wolf Pack, NC State, the Red team 65

UConn. 75
NC State. 65

A tough one for me to guess - and likely a tough game for the Huskies, but UConn wins because of a run at some point in the 2nd half that keeps NC State at bay.

UConn 70
NC State 61

NC State hasn’t lost a game by double digits all year and some of y’all are out here predicting 20-point Connecticut wins…

UCONN 71
NCST 68

About time they do (loose by double digits)…

75-70 Uconn

The two teams have met twice in the NCAAT since the Summer Erb years, with UCONN winning both times: 2003 and 2007.

Thanks. I looked it up...they didn't play in 2003 (or '04). I'm too tired to search more. The 2007 game was the S16. I believe (if memory serves) this is the 1st E8 game between the teams since 1998. Whatever, Go Blue!

You are correct; we met in 2001 in the NCAAT, not 2003.

The 2007 game was in the Sweet 16 in Fresno; State actually led at halftime, but eventually fell, 77-71; that squad was the one that had a magical late-season run, after Coach Yow came back from missing 15 games, the floor at Reynolds Coliseum was named in her honor that year and we beat #1 and undefeated Duke in the ACCT.

UConn 76 - 66
