2023-24 Prediction League - Game 4 vs UConn (MSG) Sun 11/19/23 1pm ESPN

Recommended Posts

The first part of the sacrificial lamb season is over.  Now we get to be the sacrificial lamb for U Conn.  Man, I hate this pick.  My heart says one thing but the gray matter upstairs disagrees.

This isn't a good time or place for us to face Connecticut.  Johnson has a gimpy ankle.  Remember those big eyes from the exhibition kids playing in Assembly Hall.  It is our time to have big eyes - this is Madison Square Garden.  Has to have an impact one way or the other.  In three games against less than average competition we have outscore our opponents by a total of only 23 points.  Not for one game.  For all three combined.  51.8% of the shots taken against us this year have been 3 point shots.  We aren't getting to the shooters but can't seem to help ourselves.  OTOH we have only scored a total of 11 3-point shots this year and no more that 4 in any game.  We are a team that hasn't come together yet playing against the National Champions.

We may suck it up and show some grit.  Or, this could be a repeat of the Arizona or Kansas game from last year.  Even worse it could be a repeat of the game at Duke a few years back when they ran us out of the gym.

Hope we rise to the occasion.  U Conn has beaten Northern Arizona, Stonehill, and Mississippi Valley State.  This will be their first test too.
