I'm thinking more along the lines of Husky Fan. IMHO GenoI 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'm really curious to see how our frosh handle Nova's style, especially MoJeff who will probably be very frustrated at a game that moves at about a quarter of her speed, or less.

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

Nice. Half way there.

Daddy, I think I have to file a protest here...Magical got the UConn total correct, but was off by 6 points on Nova, whereas yours truly got the Nova score correct, but was only off by 5 on UConn....I think I win!!!!!

since this is a UConn board... getting the UConn score correct is the ultimate goal and the opponents score is a bonus... but congrats, continue to play

But, DC, you know that defense is job #1 at UCONN.
