Reason: UConn has played clamp down defense in the tournament. They are playing much better then when the two met in December, if that is possible. FSU has played two close games in the tournament. This will not be close.

No one will come within 20 points of UConn in this tourny. Most lopsided championship men or women ever. Would love to see the Uconn women play the boys tournament LOL

They'd be lucky to get 20 points on them. UConn Women's team is amazing, but let's not get carried away here

First half -15.5. Like that # better.

[kboiler]

Has any team every dominated their sport the way the huskies do?

yeah at like -5000

[reppin_the_847]

I agree, the game spread is also very likely, but UConn usually comes out with guns blazing in the first half (that Maya chick usually drains a ton of shots), so this might be the even safer pick. Both picks should be relatively safe though.

I really like Florida St team here, 27.5 is way too mAny points. I see this game being a shootout because Florida State girls can run and will be putting up alot of points vs conn. I am thinking at most conn wins by 16, but won't be surprised if it stays in single digits you heard it here first.

Try 26,500.

[pokernut9999]

I will ride then all the way , 3-0 so far betting them.

[cornhuskfan]

espn has the streak for cash pick at second half points for fla st. or winning margin for uconn

[Wilforth]

Can't lay 27.5 points in a game of this nature.

How will fla st run with them UCONN plays Stiffeling defence and has turned on the defence during this tourney run.. I was watching a interview with a few of teh ladies and they say they are on a mission to not only keep the ball in out of their oppositions hands but to keep them from scoring..period.. and they have done so this tourney .. how can fla sts keep up .. they will not be able to penetrate and they are not golden on the outside.... UCONN rolls again by 35-40

[dknight734]

anyone like the under in this game or is it a sure thing on the over the way these two teams play?

[EaglesPhan36]

O/U could go either way. Would lean under since UConn has been digging in with vice grip defense, but if they're firmly in rout mode late in this game - you never know.
