[rvwsleep]

UConn 90-65 over the ladies from Westwood.

 

[bizarro aj]

It all depends on when geno calls off the dogs on ucla but they should win by 30+

 

[Roundball fan]

UConn 97-59

 

[meyers7]

Bruins are pissed about Wooden's record. UCLA in a close one 78-73.

 

[TitleTown]

UConn 85
UCLA 63

 

[BroadwayVa]

Ruta Lee's favorite team--72 My favorite team---85----

John Wayne, Jacky Robinson, Ward Bond---and the spirit of 100 Sports Stars and Holly wood stars will be with UCLA --all alum's.
Even Gibbs---NCIS---will be cheering them --from afar.

Love your consistency and unwavering belief in stroking the mojo - and it's worked every time this year. Just three more times after this and you can celebrate your sacrifices.

 

[tonehill68]

Connecticut 93 - 64

 

[Ozimoto]

The Huskies 85, the Bruins 60.

 

[Intpseeker]

The UConn team bus takes a wrong turn and ends up in Seaside Park, encountering Bill Walton wandering around since the last GOTV, causing the team to miss the entire first half of play. Final score: UCLA 62-UConn 61.

 

[2ndCity]

Ours: 98. Theirs: 69. Margin: 29

 

[Jim]

The UCLA coach has taken up Geno's offer (3 times!) to watch UCONN practices. Game will be closer than many expect. My prediction is UCONN 76 - UCLA 63.

 

[chrissaran]

89-69

Wow, they must carry a grudge then. The 88 streak was surpassed in 2011. Six years ago this UCLA team's freshmen were in 7th grade, seniors in 10th!

Yes, but none of them were even born when UCLA set the record.

 

[browns]

Da Bruins in their blue and gold up next.

As the next two games are only days apart, will attempt to post the UCLA results promptly, but can't guarantee we'll have computer access. Same dicey situation obtains re updating the third leg of the Boneyard Fearless Forecaster Championship Competition for 2017 postseason, as I'll have to depend on availability of library computer time.

Your thoughts on who will win the UCLA game - by what MOV - and by exactly what score? Good luck and/or wisdom.

uconn 86-62

UConn 93-57.

Realistically this season and during the NCAA's UConn has had trouble with quick shooting guards. What they haven't had an issue with are forwards and the ability for guards to penetrate and kick. Switching has created mismatches for the guards on the 2nd and 3rd level, but the kick or dish has been covered. Canada may have a good game, Corver perhaps not so much. UCLA's forwards are going to have a problem on both ends.

 

[Rayvin56]

94-65, UConn. MOV of 29.

 

[Chong-Master]

UCONN 96, UCLA 57

 

[Coach]

I think UCONN will shut down Canada and Billings daring the other 3 UCLA players to beat them. Gabby and Pheesa have a monster game in the paint. Won't be surprised if Lou, Nurse and Chong drives to the basket all day, especially if they can get Billings in foul trouble. UCONN 85-59.

 

[Suebird10fan]

85-63 the good guys win

You have no idea.

Yes, but none of them were even born when UCLA set the record.

Some of their parents might not have been born.

Eh, that's cutting it pretty close. But possible.

Who won today's contest?

 

[HoopsHoppy]

No spreadsheet? No congratulations to one of our wise selectors?

In CA on vacation with no tools and thus relying on you all to provide the straight skinny. By the way - nothing personal - I know I didn't come close

 

[Adesmar123]

Ok ok ok ..I won. I had the right score, Uconn just didn't get there.

Here are the predictions. I went to the game today, and then had an evening commitment, so the numbers are a little late. I am going to the game on Monday too, so same drill. Huge shout out to TonyC for arranging tickets back in November 2016. A super day, and most of us were there for both games.

This game, Massey wins! But since we don't recognize Massey as a valid participant, the winner is BroadwayVA! based on the tiebreaker rules. Jim gets a very close second, which is all the more amazing because this is the first time he submitted a forecast.

 

[CTtransplant]

Here are the results based on the mathmatically closest forecast. Again, BroadwayVa win using this set of parameters. But notice that a lot of forecasts were closer than Massey. Particularly good were the Husky fanatic and chrissaran.
