Syracuse seems to be legit, dumb loss to Temple notwthstanding. their margin of victories over Georgetown and Marquette are similar to UCONN's

UCONN 74, Syracuse 58

I'm not convinced UCONN is 100% healthy, nor are the firing on all cylinders. I think it will be a closer game than many would like to see.

 

[CTGirl15]

77-59

 

[Tonyc]

The difference will be the defense. UConn has a great defense and Cuse dosnt have much of any.

 

[Blue Huskie]

74-55

 

[huskyharry]

Shoo shoo overconfident flu...we are doomed, DOOMED for sure!

 

[semper]

I was nervous for Stanford; complacent for ND. I know notheeng, notheeng. Anyway, I'm complacent for this game; nervous as a cat over Duke.

80-60 UCONN

 

[chrissaran]

86-59.

 

[Man-Man]

80-45

Are we still looking back Are we looking ahead or are we in the moment
What I do know is our margins have been much larger with 10 minutes to play than the finals core
WITH THAT FACT IS EVEN MORE AMAZING WHERE WE STAND NATIONALLY STAT WISE
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE US CRUSH SYRACUSE THEN LOOK AHEAD TO MONDAY
74-42 WITH 10 MINUTES TO PLAY

I went with 87-54 in the analysis thread so I will stick with that. I forgot though, and I haven't seen it mentioned by anyone else, this is gonna be basically a home coming game for Stewart. That is usually either great of terrible for the player. We'll see.

I'm thinking Stef has a big game...UCONN 87-62

I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to pile on.

Meyers you're da man

I think Chrissaran was closer.

 

[meyers7]

I think Chrissaran was closer.

Agreed. UCONN's defense wasn't nearly as tough as I thought it would be.

 

[VAUConnFan]

Agreed. UCONN's defense wasn't nearly as tough as I thought it would be.

Or it could have been Syracuse's offensive preparation; Pretty much a given that UConn is every team's big game. Few would be surprised if the Syracuse staff started prepping for this game several months ago.
But, you were spot on UConn's number. My first reaction was concern over the fact that 70 of UConn's 87 points came from three players. Then, it jumped out to me that it was three players. Three players equals balance no matter how you shape it. And bodes well when one of those three is not your All American.

 

[meyers7]

O And bodes well when one of those three is not your All American.

Yet.

 

[OneTrickPony]

Agreed. UCONN's defense wasn't nearly as tough as I thought it would be.

Give some credit to Syracuse...their recruiting class looks pretty good!
