I thought I missed the game when I saw this thread.....

87-52

 

[Icebear]

196-38

 

[meyers7]

91-38. I agree with Ray, I hope everyone scores.

 

[rvwsleep]

101 - 39. And please, no turned ankles. Counting the days until the Duke game

How about everyone gets a double double? Sorry I'll miss it, but the threads are always great.

BU will be way overmatched. I was way off on the Oregon game given the run and gun offense they employ. But that helped cause UCONN to play faster too and hence the 114 points. I don't think we get that many today. BU has had some close games but lost to Northeastern, Harvard and Yale. I think this will be similar to the Hartford drubbing...

UCONN 96
BU 38

I predict double figure scoring for 6 with another double double for Stokes... Also that Stef will take no more than two 3-point attempts.

Looks like Geno may mix it up to challenge the team, so 92 - 31.

Instead of my score prediction I've started recording Sagarin's spread predictor. I'm curious how accurate his numbers are over the length of the season. For tonight's game he has #1 ranked UConn by 49 over #212 BU.

86-42 UConn. Would be a lot worse if Mosqueda-Lewis and Tuck were healthy. With three games in three days, Lawlor and Pulido will play a fair bit, perhaps 8 minutes or more, mostly in the 2nd half.

 

[Zorro]

Ok, I say Polly 6, Tierney 5. On blocks, I say Kiah 7, TBS 4.

 

[Forty_four]

UConn 98-48

100 - 40

I've been following the Sagarin predictor for years and it's remarkably good. After I saw your post I checked Sagarin to see what his predicted margin of victory is for UConn-BU...44, which by some miracle is exactly the spread I predicted. I guess he must be rubbing off on me after all these years.

By-the-bye this gives me the opportunity to dump on RPI again...the current top ten, in order, for Sagarin, is a very sensible if not perfect
1.Connecticut
2 Baylor
3 Duke
4 Notre Dame
5 Maryland
6 Tennessee
7 Stanford
8 Kentucky
9 Louisville
10 Oklahoma St.

RPI has this ludicrous top ten

1.Tennessee
2 Connecticut
3 Colorado
4 Louisville
5 Baylor
6 St. Johns
7 Ohio State
8 LSU
9. Arizona St
10.Wyoming

Wyoming made it into the top ten by beating Denver and Montana St in two close games. I can't even imagine the formula you'd have to use to have them in 10th spot with a 2-0 record over those two.

 

[vtcwbuff]

Don't forget Sagarin's home field advantage. In this case it's 4.59 which puts UConn's margin at 49 points.

 

[Frodo]

You're right...I forgot to check that and stand corrected.

Yes, please Lord...and no other injuries either!

 

[bschwartz]

The game will seem more competitive, as you watch, if you spot BU 50.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

UConn 93-47

 

[MilfordHusky]

Hmmm. Do I pick a conservative score like 90-45 or be more extreme? Ok, let's change the digits and say 95-40. Our inside play will dominate.

 

[Suebird10fan]

95-43

 

[reno tony]

Full house 111 - 44

 

[Kibitzer]

95-40 tonight vs, BU and 90-45 next two games.

I guess you could say that I like our chances.
