84 to 82 Uconn wins with a last second foul call by the cheating refs. book it...

 

[Volfan2012]

I'm depending on us shooting 44 percent at least which is our average and getting plus 15 possessions. Tennessee 85 UConn 78

I wouldn't say cheating, but Geno carries a lot of gravitas, and I feel the refs will be intimidated by him and the 50/50 calls will go UCONN'S way. 71-year-Old coach since the late 80s of UConn vs a 1st year Power 4 coach, refs are human. I expect it in games like this where you are coaching against a juggernaut and every BBall fan knows it and guess what all refs are rabid BBall fans. Thats why they do it staying on the court being a part of it. It is what it is, you just keep plugging until you get this nuanced upper hand.

I had a dream last night that the Lady Vols won by the score below, but not putting any money on this happening. Recalling from my dream, the game was a defensive battle on both ends, as the score eludes to.

Dream prediction: 63-55 TN

Honest prediction, I think will be higher scores, but going with TN still, one has to imagine they’re bound to win a game like this at some point.

Honest prediction: 74-70 TN

Geno Auriemma reflects on UConn-Tennessee women's basketball rivalry

Thanks for sharing. I thought overall it was a pretty well balanced article.

Being a UConn fan, I obviously hope the Huskies win but whoever prevails, I hope it's a close game that goes to the wire without any controversial late referee calls giving one side or the other a reason to 'gritch'.

I remember when watching the recent Lady Vols vs Texas game thinking that Connecticut would struggle against either of the teams. I am glad we have returned to the BE because as poor as the league is in WBB, it is still a step up from the AAC. I think we'll be challenged to pivot from our current level of opposition to what you and South Carolina are going to present.

I have been impressed with Caldwell thus far and hope her tenure is long and positive for you. (But I must also admit that I was impressed with Harper her first year as well!)

 

[Nute Gunray]

LVs will win this game if they can hold UConn to 70 points or less AND T. Cooper scores 20 points or more. I am basing this opinion on data from the Vanderbilt, SC and Missouri games.

 

[BruisedOrange]

Not picking on Puckett, but as a senior whose heart is so committed to the program and its history, my fear is that she will come out trying too hard and get in early foul trouble.

 

[GameTime]

In the last 4 games, Sara has played for 56 minutes and scored a total of 5 points...She got a few rebounds, but damn guys, this is not acceptable at any level of basketball.

If this trend continues for her, I don't like our chances against UConn....

Come on Sara....Rise Above It!

For those of you wondering why I harp on our lack of working the refs,,,,Read that again!
