ummm Score Predictions vs Rutgers 3/4/12

[DaddyChoc]

75-51 UConn

(damn the mojo)

We have something to prove to ourselves tonight.
Rutgers will have a very difficult time scoring.
But Geno will be quick to rest everyone for the next TWO games.
69 - 47 UCONN, yea!

Actually could be worse if Rutgers gives up early.

i was at the game yesterday. was impressed big time with Oliver who was a beast. Rushdan didn't score as much but she was solid, and i was impressed with Speed, their PG. i agree RU will have problems scoring against UCONN's defense. Marquette held them to 52 points and i'd like to think our defense is just a skosh better...

but i tend to agree that RU's defense, not just in the full court, but their swarming half court defense, could keep UCONN out of the post and force us to rely on our long range shooting, which is inconconsistent. but still, i look for UCONN to try to score with Faris, KML, and Hayes driving to the basket. screens, pick and rolls, quick passing, ball movement, and moving the ball from one side to the other to try to pull RU out of position. i'm not sure RU is the most disciplined defensive team. they tend to rely on a swarming disarray which thows the other teams' offense out of whack.

i think Geno really wants to work on stuff but will rest the starters if he can. i'm sure he wants the reserves to get a "taste" of the BET. but i also think he's trying to prepare for the NCAA's and games tomorrow and Tuesday if we hopefully move on. i hope we see a lot of time for Kiah, KML, and Brianna. i don't think we see the other 3 until the final 3 minutes, should UCONN be comfortably in the lead.

unless we are rusty, i think it will be more like...

UCONN 74
RU 45

 

[VAMike23]

UCONN by 1 or more pts.

 

[rocky rococo]

UConn's offense has been spotty this year anyway, and it's Rutgers. UConn 52, Rutgers 41.

If the game is under 60, it will be close; Under 50 and Rutgers will steal the game in the last minute. Rushdan did not play the last game; One would expect Rutgers' defensive strategy to follow along the lines of teams that have given UConn competitive contests. I expect Tiffany and Stefanie to play well. If Bria lights up the scoreboard. UConn wins by double digits handily. Back in 2007, UConn beat Rutgers by 10 at home and by 26 at the RAC only to lose a low scoring contest in the BET. That 2007 UConn team was darn good, but young; Pretty much what many say about this year's team. Ironically, the 2007 team lost four games; Each of their losses to an eventual Final Four team.

Rutgers 54, UConn 51 in a shocker.

You just lost your "Popular" Poster designation.

UCONN by 1 or more pts.

Wow, you're a real risk taker, huh?

It was a facetious way of sayin I'm not looking at points and spreads anymore this year - just the W.

YMMV

 

[DEK1234]

I think they'll play with much more fight this time around. 66-54 UCONN

 

[schmendrick]

42-31 us. Judging by the Georgetown-WVU shooting percentages, the basket seems to be in an unforgiving mood today.

 

[Dairyair]

72-42 UConn...no analysis. no reasons, since I have none of either!

 

[MilfordHusky]

To celebrate the date, Rutgers will score 34 (they are lucky it's not February!).

UConn by 65-34.

 

[ctfjr]

69-42 go Blue (or whatever the color of the day is!)

 

[VAUConnFan]

It's never too late DaddyChoc.

Especially for you, DaddyChoc.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

UConn 61-54 for no particular reason. No animal was hurt in making this prediction.

 

[VAUConnFan]

You just lost your "Popular" Poster designation.

Popular, this time, and others, for the wrong reason. It does not seem as if any team is playing up to their potential. As the late Jim Valvano once intoned, "Survive and advance."

 

[meyers7]

68-46

 

[DaddyChoc]

Especially for you, DaddyChoc.

ummmm 65...42

 

[winlots]

Have never been able to do the score predictions. But also never one to shy away from going out on a limb: I've got 25 cents here which says Our Girls will lose no more the two the rest of the season.....and I'm talkin' max here. Hopefully less than two.

 

[VAUConnFan]

ummmm 65...42

 

[MilfordHusky]

Too easy. DaddyChoc put a clue in the subject line.

Rutgers scored today's date: 34.

I was too optimistic about our offense.

Where has it gone? Offense usually does not improve in games played on back to back days.
