UConn -14.5

Nm.

 

[Hunt for 7]

I have never bet against UConn but have to admit this line is out of line. I guess Hopkins won’t be playing today but that was already assumed.

 

[Brochacho]

Conference only, UConn is the third worst defense vs Providence being the second worst offense. We have three very good players - but one won’t be playing. I doubt we cover that. Corey Floyd loves going off against us and he gets to go against Mahaney and Ball all afternoon.

No comment.

 

[Hurleyman216]

I don’t bet but if I did I would take UConn. I expect us to win this one by 20-25 even without McNeeley

Is Prov that bad without Hopkins?

 

[Hurleyman216]

Is Prov that bad without Hopkins?

Yes

 

[Hunt for 7]

Yes

I hope so!!!

 

[uconngb]

PC has as good a chance as anyone of covering that spread

UConn by 25.

Providence is really bad, but this is their Super Bowl and they can game plan to shut us down without McNeeley.

I envision a yeoman-like win where we never really pull away, but are not seriously threatened, like 34-26 at half and 69-59 final.

Has Floyd ever scored in double figures against UConn? Isn’t his career high against us like 7? Where does this “going off” thing come from?

Has Floyd ever scored in double figures against UConn? Isn’t his career high against us like 7? Where does this “going off” thing come from?

Freshman year:

1. Game 1 (win): 3 points in 11 minutes. If I remember right, it was a late clock 3 right before halftime
2. Game 2 (loss): 0 points in 15 minutes
3. Game 3 (loss): 7 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals in 25 minutes

Sophomore year:

1. Game 1 (loss): 7 points, 8 rebounds, 2 steals in 32 minutes
2. Game 2 (loss): 2 points, 4 rebounds in 28 minutes

I think the "going off" thing comes from his lucky shot in freshman year game 1 where he hit that three and PC beat UConn to keep the BE avalanche going, and I'm pretty sure he scored all 7 of his sophomore year game 1 points in the 1st half before UConn pulled away in the second half. He's had moments, but in small spurts

 

[Nick2005]

Is there a game day thread where we talk when game is going on?

 

[Mr. French]

I’ve never thought twice about Corey Floyd being a danger to our team so I imagine “going off” is relative.

I did a small parlay with an adjusted line -8.5. I think it could easily be a 5 point grinder or we can blow them out by 20+. I’m not super confident so I adjusted it. But Providence is not good.

Corey Floyd

Why is that name vaguely familiar?

I agree, I think he did have a good half against us when Prov was better.

I’m looking for Solo Ball to show Corey Floyd what a Big East guard looks like

 

[auror]

Corey was averaging 2.4 points per game and then put up seven against us, so that was the "going off", tripling his average.

 

[Deepster]

Enough of this Corey Floyd nonsense. LOL. He’s a scrub.

UConn by 24.

Wait, was that supposed to be 2 or 4?

 

[Chin Diesel]

If you take UConn at -14 for any remaining games this season, you deserve to lose your money.

 

[Hunt for 7]

I posted something similar at half time but it was moded out.

 

[Deepster]

I promise you this. I'm never going to predict a 2 or 4 pt win against PC.
