Prognosticators Tournament Game 8 (Stanford) Predictions

[Nyskier]

I can't root against the Huskies:
UConn 85
Stanford 80

 

[GG]

Heart says UCONN, but head says Stanford. It’s going to be tough without Dorka. Look anything is possible if Azzi and CW are hitting shots and Paige plays like she did the other night. If the threes are not falling, I think Stanford wins. I would love more than anything to be wrong.

Stanford -72
UCONN- 69

So much media posting today about this game. Lots of "Stanford is supremely confident; not worried about UConn." Lobo thinks it'll go down to the wire. Most giving us no chance if ONO and Edwards get into foul trouble. Obviously Paige & Azzi are the key players (according to articles I've read) with a few recognizing Evina off the bench. Some stating that Stanford (Tara) have excellent scouting and know how to deal w/Paige & Azzi. Some also stating the obvious - that UConn is a younger, less experienced team.

So I will say again - WE ARE DOOMED. The MOJO Gods need a lot of appeasing this year.

As much as it pains me to post this, I think the UCONN bigs get into foul trouble early, the team really misses Dorka on the floor, and the Huskies fall short -- Stanford 68, UCONN 60.

 

[CONN78SEJ]

Not about the score, but I think UConn by 5 or 6.

UConn 72-67

going out on a limb.... tree loses 80 - 39

 

[Blue Huskie]

I must say after some of the crazy things we've seen this year I can't even take a guess at what's going to happen in this game let alone come up with a score. To me the team that makes the most threes is going to win this matchup. That's all I got. Fingers crossed it's UCONN!

UConn wins 71-66. Huskies sink their end of game free throws making it a 2 possession game and Stanford runs out of time

I don't think the UConn bigs will get in foul trouble, Geno is hammering it into their heads how crucial it is that they remain able to play and not sit on the bench. Playing much of end of NCSt with 4 fouls will help Ono, she learned how to stay straight up with arms and maintain position. She needs to not foul far from basket but stay near the basket on defense- of course, she needs to defend Stanford's post player where they happen to be, but leave the hedge alone. Don't think Stanford is consistent enough from outside that they'll hurt us significantly if Liv doesn't go after the hedge.

Our guards have to penetrate and take the pull-up jumper, or take it to the basket when opportunity is there, or kick it back out for the 3. I think our guards will have a good game, and I'm predicting UConn 68-Stanford 50. As many have already said, if Liv and Edwards can stay in the game, we will win..

We start hitting 3's tonight, UConn 67-65

 

[Wbbfan1]

Vegas and the people that set the odds are correct. Just don't see Aaliyah and Olivia having good games against Stanford's size. Also I don't have confidence that Evina will have a great game to offset the lack of production from the Bigs. The guards will get their points but not have a great shooting day.

Hopefully Liv and Edwards stay out of foul trouble, if they can I think the edge on the defensive end goes to the huskies. Something also tells me there will be some magic from Paige again. I also think one of the biggest factors will be CW driving, she's been keying in on that all tournament. That must continue and hopefully that will cause Brink to help on defense and she will pick up some early fouls.

I keep going back and forth, but in the end-not having Dorka is a brutal loss, especially since ONO and Alliyah can't stay out of foul trouble.

Stanford-75
UCONN-67

I see you - the people disliking my posts - but I stand by them.

And for those of you who don't know - the phrase "WE ARE DOOMED" started on the men's board years ago to appease the MOJO Gods. The years they won championships.

So dislike away!

Stanford 68, UConn 63

If Azzi and Christyn happen to both have their shooting touch, I will be happily wrong!
