I see you're trying the old reverse karma thing.I will be happy if Baylor keeps the margin under 20, but I don't think they can. UCONN will win by 25 - 30.

To the point: Completing a defensive possession includes securing a defensive rebound. Giving up offensive rebounds on more than 30% of the possible chances, which the Huskies have done routinely this year, even against utterly outmatched opponents like Houston, is not good defense in the sense of completing defensive possessions. Outside the Temple game, this number has been steadily getting worse as the season has progressed. They've been fortunate that the UCFs and Houstons don't have the talent to take advantage of that weakness. Baylor IMO does. Are you even aware of these numbers? Or the significance of an OR allowed stat of over 30%?
I have to laugh at your prediction. This isn't Stanford or Duke we are playing. This is a team on level with Kentucky, who lost to Duke, Florida and S. Carolina.@Buzzyboy: I have to laugh that I'm now being castigated for not predicting "big enough" UConn victories.

Yes, the last 5 games, Uconn has given up more offensive rebounds than previous games. And 45.8 against Temple was a horrible number. But looking at other games, that was a true outlier. They are right on track for around 30% this year.
If this is the stat hook you are having you prediction hat on, I don't think Uconn has to worry. They won championships averaging over 30% in 2012-13 and 2008-09.
Baylor comes out over-amped. The adrenaline wears off quickly as UConn begins a basketball clinic and shuts the Waco crowd down early.Uconn wins 78-62. Sims scores 30.
But did they know the hotel chef where UCONN will be staying?
Possibly the dumbest prediction I've ever seen.Funny.
Baylor 65
UCONN 62
Sims 50 points
Funny.
Baylor 65

Wellllllllll ??I have to laugh at your prediction. This isn't Stanford or Duke we are playing. This is a team on level with Kentucky, who lost to Duke, Florida and S. Carolina.
Granted anything can happen, but it would be a huge (huge) upset if Baylor were to win, and a very unexpected thing if they stayed within 10-15 (a huge moral victory). I would expect 20-25.
I'll g0 80-57.
wonder if anyone is laughing at your prediction now.........LOLI think you're suggesting that UConn has forgotten how to play defense. I can't even imagine the Huskies giving up close to 70 points to anyone with the POSSIBLE exception of Notre Dame and I think that would be with significant odds of even the Irish doing that. How many weapons does Baylor have? Who has Baylor played that is any good defensively???? Not a chance for them scoring 70 points IMHO.
Rocky is talking about when other team shoots. He makes an interesting point although this hasn't kept us from blowing out teams much better than Baylor.
Reasonably close, well contested game
UConn should win by 15
but maybe won't
Answer is, what is Baylor's record?Which teams are much better than Baylor? Not even UCONN proved to be "much" better than Baylor.
I didn't know that you actually win anything. Thankfully, I was way off on the Simms scoring thanks to the UConn defense, otherwise we might have lost. BTW, my wife says I'm a "winner" no matter what I guess for scores.Is Easy Ed the winner?
