Score Predictions vs St Johns 3/5/12

[DaddyChoc]

this is going to be a tough one, but...

64-55 UConn

 

[Wbbfan1]

My heart is saying UConn Wins 59-51. Have to limit the impact Nadirah McKenith (PG) has on the game.

 

[alexrgct]

63-52 UConn. Not the satisfying butt kicking we'd like, but I imagine most fans would take it.

 

[VAUConnFan]

59-56 St. Johns. UConn is reeling right now and it will take the break between the two tournaments to straighten things out. St. Johns, on the other hand, had no business winning yesterday's game against Louisville giving up 26 offensive rebounds. There appears to be a very good vibe(call it luck, call it karma, or call it confidence) about this team right now; Reminds me of the 1969 men's team when they beat Charlie Scott & North Carolina in the ECAC Holiday Tournament, then beat Mike Maloy & Davidson a week later at the old Charlotte Coliseum on a Billy Paultz turnaround. Should St. John's pull off tonight's upset, they will do the improbable and run the table.

 

[Drumguy]

72 - 58. OT win saps emotion from SJU. Let's be real here. 9 out of 10 times we win, they got their one already. Not meant as a diss to St. Johns, but there's too much of a talent differential still.

 

[MilfordHusky]

DaddyChoc has hidden another clue in the subject line. SJU gets 51. UConn gets 60. We also get another crack at the green Evil Empire (or the Mountaineers).

 

[meyers7]

60-50.

I've really sucked at this lately.

We've all struggled.

Which team gets 60?

UCONN seems to be struggling and pressing on offense, but after watching the game on TV last night, it looked much better than it did in person. i think RU's defense is superior, but i still think UCONN has trouble scoring inside, even against a much smaller SJU team. i think the team is very aware that they lost on senior day at home to this same team. i think they press early and it's close but eventually we pull away as our defense turns into offense.

UCONN 68
SJU 48

Watching it this morning Ireally didn't think it looked all that awful. Not good but not what some were describing.

Not gonna say.

true. well watching the game live, our section was very vocal in literally screaming at the refs regarding bad calls (there were 3 guys with really loud voices - btw i was not one of them!), but on further review, the refs were not as bad as they appeared in person. Our "struggles" on offense were more due to really good defense on RU's part than ineptitude on UCONN's part.

still, i agree, our offense is somewhat mystifying. without the scoring from KML in the 2nd half, we managed a meager 19 points. gotta give some credit to RU, but we certainly were ineffective in what Geno tried to have them do...

Best news is we still out scored RU for the half.

UConn wins, not sure the score. It doesn't matter, really.

My reasoning: I am fighting a cold, and all things being equal with no UConn games, I would go home from work early and go to bed for the next couple of days to knock it out of my system. So of course, the fates will conspire to let UConn pull out the win tonight so they play again tomorrow - thus keeping me from going to bed early tonight and tomorrow night and instead "forcing" me to be in the XL Center.

And before you laugh at my paranoia, remember - I hadn't taken a real vacation in almost 20 years. This year I go to Cancun, and the fates intervene in my wonderfully relaxing carefree vacation by causing me fall off a horse, lose consciousness for a few minutes, get a concussion (from which I STILL haven't recovered my sense of smell or taste) and mess up my back.

Fate always conspires against me. It is a fact. Even my psychiatrist thinks so.

 

[sparky]

Uconn by 1 or more.

 

[Ctpaul0825]

Back to playing the defense that has made this team a contender, UCONN rights the ship, and blows St. johns out. 20-30 point win.

 

[schmendrick]

54-46 us.

Most of the time its just better to keep your head down and keep working.

UCONN 63 -53.

 

[Replicant]

Sorry to disagree with Geno, but revenge is a basic and original human emotion. Besides that, we're better than them. I'm with Special-K on this point..."tonight will be different".

Huskies 71 - Johnnies 59!

 

[Dairyair]

How about 72-58, UConn. BUT, as long as UConn scores one more point than SJ, I'll be gruntled.

 

[rington]

Uconn 71-ST 53...........Hayes will wake up

 

[HuskyFan1125]

I'm gonna say 44-40 UCONN!

Yes, Sir ! I agree!
