Score Prediction: UConn vs. Villanova

[YoungFree]

73-69....I think Whitmore gets them out to at least one double digit lead but then Hurley adjusts and we squeek out a win.

I'm more worried about the Xavier game in a couple of days than this one. Sold-out home crowd will be a factor tonight. 77-68 UConn

It'll be noon in Cincinnati also. Ohio is in the eastern time zone.

Assuming Johnson doesn't play....

We don't get some of the foul calls we're accustomed to because they don't foul on D, can't turn them over to get into transition, they hit a few 3s and the crowd gets quiet. They spread us out and make it tough for us to play drop coverage with Clingan, Hawkins goes 2/9 from 3.

We lose 77-73.

Wakeup home loss to a rival to get us back focused.

Perfect description of how the game needs to go for Nova to win. A solid 40% chance it works out like this, and the game is still close. I prefer the scenario where Clingan plays significant minutes and Nova is overwhelmed by both his offensive rebounds and our guards getting him the ball at the rim. Once they are forced to double team we will hit open shots. I recommend taking no prisoners.

UConn 76-66 Nova

A slightly closer game than the final score indicates. We trail for most of the first half before a late surge sends us into the locker room with a 34-31 lead. The second half is tight, with a margin between 2 and 8, until the subs come in at the 8 minute mark and our depth is too much, pushing the lead to 12. Nova hits a few shots, the fouling in the final minute allows the margin to settle in at its usual equilibrium around 10.

Not bad.
