Score Prediction - UConn vs. Florida

[Travelman6]

Dogs 70 gators 64

 

[Captbluefin]

We get off to a slow start. Their big gets Adama in foul trouble and Donovan is not quite ready for big minutes against a good big.
We come close but learn a lot that will help the team in March.

Florida 72
UCONN 68

 

[TheChamps990411]

69-64 good guys. I expect a dog fight. We don't shoot well on our first away game but win it with defense on the perimeter.

First big test. Newton pulls us away with 4 mins left making his foul shots.

Karaban has a big game. Goes 3/6 from 3 with 5 rebounds and 3 assists. 1 TO.

Quiet game for Clingan.

Hawkins and Sanogo are good, not great.

Newton scores around 20 and is out POTG.

Quiet game from the bench guards.

So Ajax isnt playing tonight?

I don’t think we’ve done one of these all season.

One might say that it’s quite rare for this season.

 

[80shusky]

77-68 dudes. Game is closer but mostly on late free throws.

 

[Palatine]

At some point we're going to lose a game. But the Huskies seem to be pretty connected right now. And following a less than complete outing versus Oklahoma State it is unlikely they will overlook Florida tonight.

my eyes tell me we will win ,but my brain is always scared of a good home dog .Many times they bite.
that being said Uconn 70 Florida 64

 

[HuskyHoosier]

They think they have a chance to win. They do not.

 

[CONN78SEJ]

Assuming Lofton plays...

We don't get some of the foul calls we're accustomed to being on the road, can't turn them over to get into transition, they hit a few 3s and the crowd gets into it. Castleton makes it tough for us in the paint, Hawkins goes 2/9 from 3.

We lose 77-73.

Wakeup road game for the team before Big East play.

Nice call, your foresight is incredible.

At least I got the winning margin right.

Holy smoke… I was totally wrong. I thought on the road against a SEC team was going to be trouble.

Hard to believe we are this good.

If we're going all the way down there, we might as well blow them out of the swamp!

You couldn't have been MORE wrong on every point.

It was not a dog fight.

Newton and Karaban had poor games.

Clingan, Hawkins and Sanogo were great.

good call

Right now Alabama has the 21st best offense on Kenpom. They put up less than 70 against UConn. Nova and X are the only teams UConn plays with a higher ranked offense. I wouldn't expect many teams left on the slate to put up 70 on this team. UConn's defense is really good.

Iowa State has the best defense UConn has played at #13, still couldn't hold UConn under 70. Bama at #17, OSU at #26.

I wouldn't predict many teams to put up over 65 against UConn. They would have to get super hot. This team plays stifling defense. For all the complaining about Diarra, Newton and Alleyne. They usually all play very solid defense.


Kenpom should actually only move UConn's numbers up as the season progresses, because last year's numbers are slowly going away.

Think this will be the lowest scoring night we see but win it with defense in a squeaker:
Uconn: 62
Florida: 58
