Hmmm. Let me think. Last year, we got Mitchell in early foul trouble, jumped on OSU, and they gave up. We had the DPOY. I think containing Mitchell may be tough this year. They like to score a lot and defend only a little. I'll pick UConn by 90-75. There may be some tense moments.

I think Crystal shines. I look for Lou and Pheesa to combine for 40+. I think Gabby will out-everything OSU.

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

UCONN 87 / theOSU 70
Too much offense & defense from UCONN, some offense & not much defense from the OSU!

 

[JordyG]

Once again conditioning will be the deciding factor for UConn and it will show at the end of periods and in the 4th period.

 

[TitleTown]

UConn 75
Ohio St. 63

 

[BigBird]

We continue to be doomed!

TOSU : 81
UConn: 70

Doomed, I tell 'ya!!!

 

[DaddyChoc]

83-65 UConn, only because they'll be home... Im debating if I want to attend this game or not

 

[huskeynut]

UConn at home but no Sinaya.

Lay off for exams and some rest. A little rust coming out of the gate.

UConn 76 - tOSU 62.

 

[HuskiesU]

82-62 Uconn
Last couple years uconn been beating teams by like 40ppg good teams about 25ppg. This season is no drop off. As they are still beating teams by double digit besides the first game. But i like Uconn because i dont think OSU is discipline enough to stay with uconn. Alot of one on one and quick/bad shots with them. Remember last year game against OSU....well now the game is at the XL with a different team that already stamped its own Uconn Identity.... i like uconn big.

I seem to remember that previous Uconn teams are less precise in their execution coming out of exam break so if this year is typical then we can hope their margin of error is large enough to keep the streak alive.I say it will be and Uconn wins 81-72.[/QUOTe

The coming-out-of-exam-week variable. Who knew? And the no-Saniya variable. The thin-bench variable remains a constant, vulnerable to foul-happy refs, and injury. Riding this victory wave is a luxury few could imagine and simultaneously holding our collective breath, takes the yawn out until the AAC begins. What a ride and what a year!

Looks like tOSU lays the first loss UCONN. 87-82 to the bad guys.

 

[oldude]

I already predicted 78-60 Huskies, but it is worth pointing out that "up tempo" teams do not fair well against UConn: OSU & Cuse last yr & Depaul this yr.

UConn beats you at your own game. On offense they speed you up & force turnovers. On defense they run you all over the court, resulting in defensive breakdowns & open shots.

Finally, even though UConn has a much shorter bench, by the end of the game you're exhausted and the Huskies are still hustling all over the court. Hopefully, that is how the game will unfold tonight.

 

[HoopsHoppy]

UConn 86 - 61

 

[EricSD]

85-68 UCONN. Hard to predict because OSU has been without Mavunga or Harper leading up to this game, and UCONN is without Chong. OSU likes to push the pace, but uptempo teams usually don't fare well against UCONN.

They are a high scoring team and scored 68, 80 and 89 in their losses. Crystal has been struggling since she came back from her own injury. But... UCONN has had a long time to prepare for this game without Saniya. I know they will be prepared, but hopefully they can execute at the level they need to...

 

[Checkmate]

UConn by 17. The Ohio State has to much BS (bad shots). . . . just watched their Alabama State game, 40 minutes of garbage time

 

[hussybulldog]

Natalie only scores 5 but has 15 rebounds. Uconn wins 97-79

 

[HuskyPhan]

UConn Fab Five 85-62

Does my "prediction" not qualify for entry in your table?

PAC 4 - a pre-game "HIGH INTEREST BALL" for this look at history

 

[winlots]

93-67, Blue and White. Pheesa with a triple double.

RAY56: a pregame DETAIL BALL to a savvy predictor.

 

[winlots]

82 - 65 Gabby and Saniya leading the way!

BRONX: and another DETAIL BALL.....(but looks like you might have a problem with that CHONG part of it; but your spirit and your support for her is appeciated here)

 

[winlots]

OSU will hang around early but the Huskies will pull away late: 78 - 60.

OLD D: another pregame DETAIL BALL; as they say, time is everything.

 

[winlots]

Uconn 85 Ohio St 79

Dangerfield 2 fouls 12p points 2 turnovers
Napheesa --3 fouls, 18 points 5 turnovers
Katie Lou 2 fouls, 25 points 4 assists 1 turnover
Gabby -- 4 fouls 20 points 5 assits 3 turnovers
Natalie--- 3 fouls 7 points 4 assist 2 turnover
Molly --- 1 foul 3 points 3 assist 4 turnovers
Chong 1 foul 0 points 6 assits 0 turnovers.

B VA: WOW....now THAT is really breakin it DOWN! Gutsy....big grin here. Hope you didn't take a saw out on that limb with ya.....even if you're getting your own Christmas Tree.

 

[winlots]

So Kia's on the bench with TLaw and Irwin?

CALP: not going to give out one of those extremely rare pregame SOUR BALLS here, as I don't think you intended anything bad. Without wanting to give away any personal info on any poster, I will say this to ALL here in the spirit of the season: keep in mind that some of the folks on this board have a helluva lot of wear on their tires. When the rest of you get to that point, I'm sure you'll join us in screwing up a bit more than you've been used to. Just a word to the wise and the caring.
Stay well.

 

[winlots]

76 to 64 Huskies. I really don't care. It is really happy to see them win!

VERY: a pregame HAPPY BALL - can almost see your smile with that one.

Since Chong can't play replace Chong with Kia---We were resting Kia for the MD game. She has played too much--time to let they
young guys do all the running!!

B_VA: a pregame HUMOR BALL on that one.

 

[winlots]

In honor of what we all hope and pray will be Win #85 in a row, I will call it 85-76 UConn. I'll say hell yes because of KLS, Gabby will be the diametric opposite of shabby, Napheesa will be a crowd "pleasa", Kia will be the one to Nurse the Huskies to Victory...and even without Chong, we don't go wrong. Look for some long-range missles from Crystal. And with a timely post move, that'll be the dagger from Natalie.

Go get'em! Failing some truly miserable luck, guys, we're gonna eek out a win over the Bickeyes...

ALEX: a FIRST.....a pregame "POET LAUREATE BALL

 

[winlots]

the more I pick against them the better they play... so I'm saying UConn is a bit rusty and the OSU shooters keep them close the entire game.....UConn barely holds on 83-79...of course I would very much prefer to be proven wrong as usual....

CB: another pregame HUMOR BALL. Even your logo brings a smile.
