Score Prediction Thread - MISS STATE

[hiker04]

OK lets see. After reading all the posts, having watched almost all the UConn games, been able to go to 2 games and watching the Miss / Baylor game It looks like we have 3 choices, 1) UConn wins by a lot 20+, 2) UConn wins by a little 5 - 10 and 3) Uconn loses by a few 2-4. So after throwing all that (pros&cons) into a blender lets say UConn wins by 15

WE ARE DOOMED!! DOOMED I TELL YOU...

I don't think it's going to be very close. I think it's in the 20-25 pt range. I think UConn just has too much fire power. I know Miss St. has a couple big girls to use in the paint, but I think there will be a lot of double teaming in the paint and if Miss St. puts them out there at the same time I think UConn will run them ragged in transition because they'd be trying to keep up with Gabby and Collier up and down the court.

I'd like to see them attack the big girls in the paint on offense too and see if you can't put them in foul trouble and get them on the bench and then really hammer down. I like Williams' from Miss St. game, I just think she'll get ganged up on in this game and don't think we'll see another 40pt performance from her. Entirely possible, she's very quick and plays tough.. I just don't see it happening. I didn't see it happening last game either though so... goes to show what I know Also, there is always the possibility that UConn just can't make shots but their work in the pain on offense and defense should offset any cold streaks from out on the floor.

William is going to have to defend either Saniya, or Kia, and she will use a lot of energy doing that. She isn't going to get any help from others, because in that case someone else is open, and Uconn hits the open person better then any other team.

I already said 73-52 (I think). One other prediction: I don't think "Big T" (Teiara McGowan) will play too many minutes, maybe about 15. I think it will quickly become apparent to their very astute coach that she isn't producing enough on offense to outweigh her inability to defend Napheesa or Gabby on defense. She may get some quick fouls. (She fouled out of the piranha game last year in a small number of minutes.)

I think that UConn will be playing against their slightly smaller but more mobile post (the young woman from Africa) for most of the game.

Agreed. Or even Crystal. It will be a long 40 minutes for Williams.

 

[EasyEd]

My thought is 82-70. William is confident and will put up 25 against us, but it won't be enough.

 

[BlueDevils]

I think McCall presence combined with Tara elite coaching will be enough for Stanford to dominate South Carolina.

Miss state keeps it close 1st half. Ucomn does Uconn things even more 2nd half.

Lou vs Lou in the championship. With Lou winning it all.

 

[Nuyoika]

Since UConn likes to beat ranked opponents by 11... I'm gonna go with 72 UConn 61 Miss St.

 

[veryolddog]

UConn 86 - MST 64

 

[ctfjr]

ok the good guys 88-60

 

[rvwsleep]

UConn 79-67 We hold about the same lead from the middle of the second quarter.

 

[JustinesGuy]

86-48

Rout, brew conn wins

 

[Bigboote]

I'm thinking 82-63, MoV 19.

 

[Replicant]

Huskies 88 - 62

 

[CTtransplant]

Table is in two parts due to so many forecasts.

 

[CTtransplant]

We have real radical fringe for this game. Usually the fringe forecast is in the positive direction. This game we have a forecast suggesting the Huskies will lose by 44 points.
As usual, go Huskies!

 

[GiladKatzDeli]

Kia and Chong shine - UConn by 26 - Final: 82 to 56.

 

[JordyG]

Well this is it. Either they get stops and makes on the other end or the season is over.

 

[JordyG]

Win or lose, Lou and Pheese are going to remember this game for a long, long time.

 

[uconnfan68]

Hubris.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Dammit, Meyers!

 

[triaddukefan]

Well let's see. The SEC is the best league in WCBB. We know this because we've been told. There's no way this UCONN team goes undefeated after losing the Big 3, Geno has said as much. Geno has never lost in the Final soooooo looks like this is where the magical season ends.

Mississippi St finally gives UCONN it's loss for the season. 68-64.

Prescient

Unbelievable prediction.

Another WOW moment, for lots of reasons. Lots of karma busted from various sources. An outcome unanticipated by virtually everyone.
We're just home from RI, where we had no computer access. A lot to digest here. See we had a big record number of both participants and lookers this game for this season-long series of threads.
Will do some digesting and then figure out and post the B.Y. FEARLESS FORECASTER CHAMPIONSHIP (Leg 5) outcome in what will be the final "RESULTS" thread for this terrific season. But first congrats to all participants and another thank you to CT TRAN for his doubled-up efforts this time out.
