Message: [QUOTE="PAHuskeyFan, post: 3076703, member: 7880"] For fun, I went to the Massey Ratings Matchup Tool... and ran the Massey predictions for UCONN vs the projected top teams for the NC, using the "vs." function for neutral court. The results were remarkably close across the board as follows: UCONN vs Baylor: Massey's "Most Likely": Baylor 71 UCONN 67 (60% to 40%) UCONN vs ND: Massey's "Most Likely": ND 79 UCONN 74 (63% to 37%) UCONN vs MSST: Massey's "Most Likely": UCONN 77 MSST 74 (56% to 44%) UCONN vs Oregon: Massey's "Most Likely": UCONN 77 Ore 74 (59% to 41%) UCONN vs Stanford: Massey's "Most Likely": UCONN 72 Stan 66 (68% to 32%) UCONN vs Louisville: Massey's "Most Likely": UCONN 74 Louisville 70 (62% to 38%) for comparison, Massey picks ND over Baylor by just 1 point, 75 to 74 SO, what does this all mean... I suppose it means (According to Massey), UCONN matches up pretty well vs the other teams in the anticipated "top 7". In my view it means it's going to be "too close to predict"...and the NCAA Tournament is going to be extremely competitive. Hot shooting, cold shooting, a critical player in foul trouble or injured, a Referee's call at a critical point in any of these match ups is going to go a long way to influencing the final outcome. Of course Massey is not the final word...nor are Polls... and with the closeness and uncertainty in all of this it brings up the phrase... "It's why they play the games". This will be decided on the court! May the best Team win....and win fairly... Let the games begin!! GO HUSKIES!!!! [/QUOTE]
