St Johns Score Prediction

[Chosen]

I am going with

UConn 90
St John's 85

Let's go UConn

 

[gwhuskyfan]

UConn 73
St. John's 65

 

[Umami Zen]

UConn 83
STJ 79

 

[superjohn]

Dauster calls Pitino the best coach in college basketball since 1985. You would think he would at least give a mention to Jim Calhoun.

 

[6in25]

UConn - More points
SJU - Less points

 

[TroyHall98]

It’s going to be a defensive slug fest;
UConn 65
StJ. 63

Oh weird. Pretty sure Pitino only has 1 title. As Jim Calhoun so eloquently stated, “get some facts and come back to me!”

 

[Hurleyman216]

I’m probably in the minority here, but we might just run these guys out of the gym… 85-65 good guys

 

[tennmike]

Yes. You are likely in the minority, but that doesn't make you wrong. 84-65 good guys. Hurley's playing possum.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

School located in the scenic rolling hills of rural Connecticut that plays beautiful, flowing basketball - 64 (due to pace)

School located in the crime riddled urban decay of Jamaica Queens that plays a game that more resembles oozeball than basketball - 17

 

[HuskyHawk]

UConn 73 St. Johns 69. That may be a little too high scoring. The O/U is 141.5

I’m with you. I think we start painfully slowly and eventually come very much alive. I think halftime of the DePaul game was a turning point and Liam’s return is just a bonus. Maybe not quite 85-65, I’m going with 80-65.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Reed goes for 20/10 and Good guys win 73-61

 

[UConn77]

UConn 83-76

 

[6Nattys4Us]

76-72 UConn!

Would say first to 70 likely wins

 

[Hunt for 7]

This is not a thread that creates positive karma. We all are going to pick UConn.

No, this is a thread to weed out the spies and imposters!

 

[GiladKatzDeli]

I'm not a betting man, but earlier this week I saw the spread was UConn -9.5, which even as a UConn fan I would've definitely picked St. John's to make it closer than that. Now I think it's around UConn -3.5.

Prediction: UConn will be the better team in March, but we're not 100% healthy and haven't completely gelled yet. St. John's wins tonight by 5-10 points and Hurley uses the loss as fuel the rest of the season.

 

[KingAG]

UConn 73 St. Johns 69. That may be a little too high scoring. The O/U is 141.5

We score 70 and we win

 

[superjohn]

Close, they're a bad matchup for us but I'm wearing my UConn shades today and it's going to be a crazy atmosphere with the Gampel Friday night home crowd so I'll go 77-74 good guys.

 

[HuskyinWRNY]

Tough to forecast this one. I hope we win but its going to be a war, decided by a few points

 

[CONN78SEJ]

I’m probably in the minority here, but we might just run these guys out of the gym… 85-65 good guys

If McNeeley is 100% and Karaban and Mahaney hit their first three’s then it’s off to the races. Don’t underestimate the home venue.

 

[Platt81]

A Friday night at 8pm in Storrs means the students will be off their rockers both from pre-gaming to partying after. I think this may the most electric crowd we’ve seen there and the boys feed off it. I think the energy makes them play too sloppy to start but in the end, crowd, McNeeley, and Ben Gordon in the house this is a double digit victory. Oh, and Danny being a psycho and feeding off their fans chanting “we want UConn” earlier this week, so maybe UConn by 100.

Spread opened at -1.5 and got bet up to -3.5

 

[WrenchFan69]

I think we win and I think Gampel will be an electric factory. But St John's is really good, especially with the right officiating crew, so I'm expecting it to be excruciating

 

[storrsroars]

UConn 76 Johnnies 73

 

[Husky Alien]

UConn 72
St John's 67

 

[nycscooby]

Liam is bound to be rusty and no one knows how healthy he really is and how long he can play tonight and be Liam.

Hass is still beat-up.

I worry about defending Richmond and Luis.

I worry about scoring against their D especially given the first two concerns.

I worry about their press and our TOs.

I worry about our propensity to foul, see how many fouls Marquette committed last game against them.

But, it's going to be nuts at Gampel and I think we pull it out...70 - 68

 

[Austin316]

Usually i don’t like predicting… buuut I’m going with my instincts on this one. Saddle up partner!

78-63 - Gampel.

 

[Puparoni]

It’s going to be a defensive slug fest;
UConn 65
StJ. 63

My thoughts exactly.
Good guys 68
Other guys 64
