Score prediction thread for Temple

[ochoopsfan]

The Knights Templar in a very conspiratorial upset. Geno just sits there in a daze overcome with the nostalgia of being home. 61-59.

Alternate Facts

Not sure if anyone noticed the bizarre box score from the SFU game but Butts and Fitzgerald combined for 8 of 37 from the field and the whole team had 8 assists, all by Fitzgerald....don't recall ever seeing a ranked team(at the time) have only one player with an assist. If they play like that against us then they will probably not break 50. so...84-49

 

[Ozimoto]

I expect practices have been brutal since Saturday's game. Don't think they want to go through that again. I predict that the offense will be much smoother and productive this game. As always the defensive intensity will be there. 90-55 Huskies.

 

[Huskee11]

Huskies over Owls 88-50.

Owl can`t bear to watch:

Owls are a protected species under Federal law. Blazing guns not legal. But predatory dogs are okay. Huskies 82 Owls 61.

Maybe Federal law, but not Yankee law.

Honestly, y'all, I don't see how Temple even gets to 50. Their offense is surprisingly inept for a UCONN-tree coach I watched them struggle vs. USF - sure they scored 20 in the 4th quarter and made the game seem close, but USF ran WAY more offense than Temple did. If I were Tonya (and thank God I'm not LOL), I'd sit their PG on the bench until she learned how to be a PG.

In other words, being a PG does NOT mean you dribble the ball around, jack up a 3-ball every, or drive like a crazy person into 3 defenders and throw up a high degree of difficulty shot praying for a foul. Truly - the kid has some moxie, is a good shooter, and has some ball handling skills, but has no clue how to run an offense, and I put that on Tonya.

I don't think UCONN runs up the score and I don't think we score much over 80 given that Temple is a pretty good defensive team...so...

UCONN 81
Temple 42

Agreed. But.................they can possibly break fifty IF Geno clears the bench late in the third, or early in the forth quarter, and the subs fail to defend the rim/paint as expected. I don't anticipate the starters playing more than 28 minutes. Dangerfield is expected to return in limited action for this game.

I have to say that some of these predicted scores are the closest I've seen in quite some time..........Temple have some athletes that can compete and their guards can be dangerous if they are having a good shooting day.................do I smell an upset..........it would be quite an interesting story to see UConn's record winning streak stopped by a former UConn coach...............nah.............. not gonna happen but I could see Temple keeping it close for a while..............UConn 85-63

Bench plays most of 2nd 1/2!
Starters score big in 1st 1/2, Butler has big game also!

 

[choochoo]

79 to 52 Uconn. Gabby with a double double and KLS with 25.

Who gives a hoot if its the owls?

145-7 Owls get 5 points for scrappiness or at least having to be in Philadelphia.

 

[jdubct]

83 - 54.

Remember what Geno says:UConn's gotta lose sometime.

 

[HoopsHoppy]

UConn by 85-54; MOV at 31

 

[HoopsHoppy]

Game day morning with 39 entrants (38 like UConn) with an average MOV of 35; and the average for scoring at 86 to 51.

 

[msf22b]

I like 92 -39
Temple overrated
No real offense

Well sure, but the sun's gonna set later today, too. One is much more predictable than the other.

Are you predicting an Owl win tonight? If so, then maybe the sun won't set after all because the universe will have been upended!

Butler needs to get it going. Too many times I see Butler receive an entry pass in the paint, only to pass it back out without even looking at the basket. Gabby got her 10th assist to complete her triple double last time out when she passed it to Butler in the paint who then pivoted to face the basket, and banked in a nice little 8 footer that she made look real easy.

Butler has a very nice mid-range shot. Seldom does she take a bad shot. She needs to look for it more. Most of the time, when a guard passes the ball to a post player in the paint, they don't want the ball back. Why pass the ball out to a player that's further away from the basket than YOU are? You're 6'5" and you have a real nice touch around the basket, SHOOT THE BALL!!!

We haven't been particularly sharp since the USF game.

UConn 82-64 Temple (bonus halftime prediction: UConn 42-34 Temple)
