But the ole Dog did pretty well with his prediction. I only wish I had said the 80's instead of the 90's.
Final prediction
So, will this game be any different than last years game? If KML and Tuck are out, it could be closer. But if they are playing it’s hard to see how it isn’t a similar outcome. Duke is basically the same players, with the addition of a few freshman posts. While Jones and Liston have taken the next step in their game improvement, Gray really looked like she was struggling. She is so strong that she can overcome her gimpyness and still produce great numbers. Her court vision is as good as it gets. But she will be a liability on the defensive end of the floor. Duke has controlled the boards this year so far. Can they do that against UConn? Doubtful. They only outrebounded a much smaller Oklahoma team by 2. If you look at the last 4 games these teams have met, Duke hasn’t score more than 51 points. Will that hold true for this game? Maybe. I can see Duke getting into the 60′s. But if Purdue can score 78 points and Oklahoma can score 85 points, I don’t see how Duke holds UConn to under 90. UConn is too big and too fast for Duke.
Uconn by 20+.
