34-26. Or it could be 82-49. For some reason, I feel a clicking coming on. Bout time we mesh and after watching that Cincy game - granted, a day late, I do not like Nova's chances.

Villanova is 12 in the RPI, despite losing by 14 to Delaware as well as losing to mediocre Minnesota and less than mediocre PC. I think their best win is DePaul. I'll predict 52-30, though, I don't see the Wildcats scoring much.

I'm thinking more along the lines of Husky Fan. IMHO Geno won't keep the starters in for 30+ minutes if the game seems well in hand, and it will be a good chance for the freshmen/sophomores to work against a very disciplined and methodical team.

It will be a frustrating game to watch for UCONN fans. 'nova recently had an inexplicable loss vs. Providence but handled a pretty decent Syracuse team. I think the slow down style of play causes the newbies to be impatient when in the game and it should be lower scoring. It really depends on how Geno plays the bench. I don't think nova can hang with UCONN at all but our defense has to play 30 seconds every posession. It's hard to take 'nova out of their rhythm. No one has scored 70 vs. 'nova but I think UCONN is the first to do that.

UCONN 70
Nova 40

I hope you are right, but that's a huge spread for a Nova game.

I'll stick with what I put in the other thread. IIRC, 64-46.

you are probably right. I probably should have said we score about 62 or something, but i was looking at what other teams did vs. 'nova and several got to the mid 60's. I think our offense is better than those teams and our defense is too, but yours is probably closer. guess we'll find out soon enough!!

55-30. Geno puts in the bench for the last 10 minutes just to fire up the Boneyard scoffers. He loves to read us on a day after our bench screws everthing up. Somebody will get trapped, maybe more than once. Harry will lose a handful of headskin, too.

Assuming UCONN FG% is about the same as vs Cincy, i.e., not that great, I see a 50 something score. Villanova might get lucky and hit about 45% of its shots, too, but there will be fewer of them.

Frustrating game ahead, 58-43 us.

42-17 at the half. Geno pulls the starters for most of the 2nd half and the final score is 65-39.
