Rematch of last years final… 74-63 final

Calling it now

Thaks JV, that's all I needed to know.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

I'd be thrilled to see it but SDSU goes through too many long dry spells on offense...if they shoot lights out, it's possible but don't really see it happening.

A man/fan can dream, however....

Rematch of last years final… 74-63 final

Good point. Here's my question:
*Do YOU think that the AZTECS think they can play with these guys?

Listened to the radio guys. They think that the Aztecs are more poised this year.

What position do the radio guys play?
PG or do they jump center?
Inquiring minds want to know.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

You're high on these Huskies, hey?

[stevenash]

*edit*
Chucky's correct

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Actually no, I think South Carolina runs the table, the Huskies can beat So. Carolina but they'll need a perfect forty-minute storm to do so.

You've got Huskies on your mind, my man. This is the Men's thread.

And yeah, you can't escape it, I just went to the mailbox, guess what's on the cover of Fairfield Magazine.
We're crazy about all things Connecticut sports up here.

Nashy, point for you to ponder as a UConn fan:

*Rematch of the 2023 title game.
...Natural revenge spot for the Aztecs.
...That said, I see that MOST of the Aztec roster is new. Most of them weren't there last year.
...So, I don't buy into the revenge angle. Only thing I'd ponder is if Dutcher picked up on anything from the game last year.

Makes for nice headlines. Revenge probably doesn't mean much.

[TheGoldenGoose]

UCONN wins this game by 20 points.

[BGS 9.5]

Pretty bad when nobody even trolls this kid anymore

[stevenash]

UCONN wins this game by 20 points.

SDSU can shoot three's, Huskies by double digits, maybe not quite 20.

I always take the so-called revenge factor with a grain of salt.

Hope you are right here, mike...

I feel like we are outgunned here and it could get ugly.

Jake, sometimes it's nice to hear from a fan who has their pulse on the local team. A few questions:
1) This is a natural revenge game from last year's final. That said, massive turnover on the Aztec roster. Payback not a factor?

2) How do you compare this team to the 2023 Final Four team? Pundits say that they're more poised. One thing I noticed on the stats is that this isn't a great SHOOTING team.

3) How do you rate Dutcher? Is he the type of guy that will learn from last year's game? Can he use any of Hurley's tendencies against him this time?

4) What do you make of the trip East? See my other thread about NCAA geography. This UConn route via NYC/Boston actually strikes me as being unfair, b/c it's two short bus trips.

5) Lastly, I view UConn as ripe. The first two games were as big of walkover games as you'll find. NWern might have shown more resistance, but they were off an Overtime game and playing w/o the 7'0" center Nicholson.

Any thoughts? Thx for any comments.

1. Many new faces but numerous players have a ton of experience. Next year all of them will be gone. Sure payback is a factor but need a lot of things to go right to win.

2. I feel like last year's team was better and deeper. They didn't shoot well last year and same with this year. They go after defensive minded, athletic and physical guys. I'd love them to get a few guys that can light up the scoreboard and have some offensive skills.

3. Dutcher is great, hard to argue with the results at a smaller school. Sure but will need some luck and some shots to fall to get an upset.

4. SDSU seems to get sent out east damn near every year. Pretty sure Uconn was the #1 overall team so have no issue with them having that advantage as they earned it during regular season.

5. I honestly have hardly watched any of the tournament other than the 2 SDSU games....my interest in basketball in general is almost completely gone so will take your word regarding Uconn's current form. Uconn has a lot more talent on paper so my hopes are not high.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

OK, thanks for the honest assessment, Jake.

Feel strongly about my opinion that the Public is backing UConn to the moon. Look at it this way:
1) I'll consider the Aztecs +pts as the # bulges.
2) If it it doesn't happen this game, I'll consider again in coming games.
3) If they make it to the Final Four, I'll consider it one more time. As Defending Champs and current #1, it's just too easy to back UConn.

We all know how the 'public' fares when they are all on the same side, it doesn't end well.

Read the post above yours again JV.
The public is in love with the Huskies tomorrow, when the public is in love with one side, how does that usually turn out?

[atthehalf]

Lots of old schoolers on this thread from the Underground days of glory here at SBR I see. This is CK by the way. Anyway with that stated-I blasted away on SDSU 2 days ago with the points and i will buy some more in the event that the line goes to +12

See my post on the UConn short route to the Final Four. Almost no travel, Huskies are gonna be tough to beat.

Ha-ha. I'll be rooting for you.

Very likely a pass for me. I can't work up the nerve to go anti-Husky.

Hey Johnnycakes good luck with another dart.
