Just got my suite tickets. Time for somebody to smack this team. Might as well be us.

This should be a highly competitive game.

In the first game, the O rebounds were 21-6 in favor of U Conn and turnovers also favored U Conn 14-7.

It’s amazing that we only lost by 14 when we gave them 22 extra possessions.

It seems like we have gotten much better in both of these categories. If we can keep these stats close, I like our chances.

We need to make shots -- cannot afford to miss a high percentage of good looks in this one.

We need to not commit weak and lazy turnovers, and we need to really focus on limiting offensive boards.

We need to really focus on limiting Spencer and Newton from getting hot.

And we absolutely need Kalk to come out focused and on a mission to prove a point against Clingan.

And we need a crowd that doesn't sit and goes home hoarse.

Y’all trying to speak it into existence?

Saw that as of earlier today it wasn’t even sold out yet, for some sad reason.

Point spread predictions?

I’ll go UCONN as a four-point favorite. Sound about right? Maybe the last stomping will add a few more points.

Can they boatrace Marquette and then defeat Creighton in Omaha in back-to-back games? That’s a tough order. If they do, and do not receive 100% of first place votes, it’s a joke.

I think we need to make shots, play good defense, rebound, and not turn the ball over. No, I don’t get paid for this gold mine analysis.

Think it’s around-1 UConn. All of the metric-based predictions are about -0.5 to -1 UConn.
