Well,
CT -5.........should cover easy!
At the garden.....advantage UCONN (huskyfans will be there in numbers and will be pumped)
CT....was a 9 pt fav at home and played one of the most god-awful first halves they've ever played in 6 point (46-40) W on Feb. 13 vs these "Cats"....CT had 12 points with 4 min left in half 1
D was great and Villanova was just as bad.....This game was UGLY
Buchanan was 1-8 from 3 and 3 for 14 overall. Okafor played more here than at Nova so that took Sales out of the mix..and Nova had noone in double figures. ................JOHNNIE SELVIE was out for this game with an ankle. CT was 11-23 from the line.
Game 1 at Nova....Okafor sat for most of half one with 2 fouls and Brook Sales had a big time inside 21 pts and 12 boards
Nova scored 12 pts in half 1 from the line while CT had...0...attempts...........Nova 20 turnovers and CT gets road W 70-65.
NOW.........CT is at full strength....Both teams 4-0 ATS in last 4
The difference tonight will be Caron Butler...He's NOT comin back and after unaminous pick to All Big East and co-POY he's bent on leaving a "legacy" like Hamilton, Ray Allen etc....Who on Nova can stop him if he looks to take this game over (which he will) ....he's on a mission to build his value now and in last few weeks there has been noone close. Ct. will press here ....will score 20+ off turnovers...and I cant see Nova there at the end!
CT deeper and better!
One caveat that keeps me from playing this BIG.....Perimeter D
Ct...all year 29 to 30% vs the 3 and the Hall pops 14 -3s in last...
D cannot slack vs Nova but they know that.
good luck
bear
