Score prediction thread for UCF

[EricLA]

I missed the prediction thread, but I would have been way off. Given that they handled Tulane, a team that gave us fits not so long ago, I would have predicted between a 35 point win. 90-55. UCONN's defense has not been that good recently as more and more teams seem to be scoring more against us (just my impression - it's possible that my observation is factually inaccurate)...

Can't speak to recent defensive deficiencies but here are stats for this year's team vs last year's team:

'16-'17 86.2/54.1 .519%/.346%
'15-'16 88.1/48.3 .530%/.332%

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.

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

Thank you. It was a long weekend but she is home now and feeling much better. At least I had a good weekend basketball wise. My three teams of interest, UConn, Maryland, and WVU all won their conference tournaments. I just hope they don't put WVU in the Bridgeport region. Would hate to have to cope with a UConn/WVU matchup. That could lead to total fan schizophrenia!
