The Knights of Black and Bright Gold squeak thru to earn another shot at Our Girls. And, as is the case in the playoffs, we don't have much time to waste re this thread, so:

As always, picking the Knights or the Huskies? By what margin of victory? And, if necessary to break a tie, what do you see for the exact score? Best wishes for good luck and/or wisdom. ( And I am still hoping to find some way to figure out our top predictors for the season as a whole....just seems to be of considerable interest to me, time permitting.)

I was looking forward to beating up on Tulane to make amends. Oh, well!

UCF is improved, but I think we handle them comfortably.

I say 95-60 UConn. No profound analysis for this one. Wifey has been in the hospital so haven't had anytime to think about it.

UConn 86-47 More sub time in this game keeps things "subdued" by UConn standards.

Our offense looked great and the focus our team played with was really impressive. I will take the plunge and predict we will go over 100 again

102-59

Offense was excellent, but defense a bit lacking at times. UCF isn't very good though.

UConn 94-54 UCF.

UConn 94, Black Knights 49.

UCF tries to slow down the pace but Huskies will have none of that.

I thought Natalie played perhaps her best all around game today. Especially, on the offensive side of yhe floor. Instead of falling away from her shots she looked to be driving toward the iron on every shot attempt. Something I have been waiting to see from her all season !

I don't even no why UConn has to play in this tournament at all. They won their conference championship out right. If they have a tournament, it should be for second place and UConn should have the rest. As a matter of fact, UConn should only begin playing in the NCAA during the sweet 16. It's all a waste until then. Bag it all just let all the other teams in the big dance fight it out to play UConn in the championship game.

My preference would be for UConn to start play in the semi-finals of the NCAA tournament:D

As far as a tie breaker, I don't think the game will end in a tie so I won't include one.

But it again will be closer than previous games. This happens as we get closer to the NCAA's.

So with that in mind, and recognizing that we are coming up on the 60th anniversary of the end of the last International Geophysical Year, I shall submit a predicted score of:

140-5

Ozimoto, Blessings, favor and a speedy recovery for your wife.

84-48 the only time they met this year. I'll go with that same score again. The starters will be pulled early again to conserve their strength and legs for Monday's game.

The bench get lots of plying time, thus UCF may score an extra basket or two. UConn played UCF way back on New Year's Day. I don't know how much they've improved since then. Under the circumstances, I'll go with the same score. UConn women's basketball - They get buckets. :cool:

Carnac sez...........UConn 84 - UCF Black Knights 48 Margin of victory: 36

I'm thinking the Tulsa was predictor of thing to come.
Uconn 106 Central 49 Geno relies on defense from here on out--but his Big O is running wild.
The new kids--will score bigger --Molly hit her 3, now the world her oyster.. Danger in the 20's

It will look like my college intramural games: very ugly.

How about the Huskies winning, 92-54? Sounds about right to me!
