Well I dont see UConn losing. A couple of my thoughts. Alot of UConn fans are down after the WVa game. Many fans have lost confidence in UConns ability to beat ND at ND.
I havent.
I have to wonder if Geno didnt want to show to much to ND againest WVa. It sounds silly but you have to wonder why the team executed the way they did after playing so well all season. Was Geno trying something different? I dont know why but one poor game is one poor game and Im willing to let it go .
Here are my thoughts on ND and UConn. Againest top teams UConn beat Stanford and TAM by double digets and had Baylor by 11 and hadnt reached the line. UConn lost to Baylor by single digets.
ND is blowing teams away and scoring alot of points many games over 90 pts and a couple over 100 pts with a couple of exceptions. At ND ND beat Duke by 2 after trailing most of the game and struggled againest Kentucky at home and lost to Baylor by double digets. One other point. Duke lost 56-54, Baylor scored 94 and Kentucky scored 83 againest NDs defense. I dont see ND scoring big numbers againest UConns defense.
Now if UConn comes out and plays like they did againest WVa they may lose but if they play like they did againest Stanford, TAM and Baylor I think they win.
When your scoring over 90 pts a game it usually means your making alot of layups againest a team who dosnt play well on defense and dosnt get back on fast breaks. It also means to me your not using half court sets and executing plays. If you were it would take time off the clock and thus not allowing you to score 90 -100 pts.
I expect a game in the 60's. I also expect UConns defense to suffacate ND. Hey I know its tuff playing at ND, they are a terrific team and have played together a long time. However we have height that should make it tuff for ND to get inside. Barring phantom calls like in the second half of the Final 4 last season UConn should win. UConn 68 ND 61
