Well, ...........CT -1
Thats how Jim Calhoun describes what will take place at the Garden tonight........Place will be packed and will have plenty of CT
blue and white in the stands. Last was "scrappy, a war" according to Ben Gordon.......well he aint seen nuttin yet! This will be a classic........ya really wanna see it!.................................
NEVER PRETTY......but CLASSIC Big East basketball..... underrated I might add.
Who do I like....UCONN Who am I betting? CT
Who is better...UCONN Who will win? CT
This will be NY hoops at its best......You'll see Brooklyn (King) da Bronx(Glover, Shaw) NY (Fordham)......Queens(Taliek Brown) Mount Vernon (Ben Gordon)..........and it will be rugged play!!!
CT....has the talent and St Johns has the guts.
Records: CT....15-5 7-2 St Johns....15-7 (5-5)
Last game (at Storrs) CT -9 .............CT 75-70
Last 3 at St Johns....St Johns 3-0 ATS 3-0 SU
Last at Storrs......CT controlled the boards/ shot 43% to St Johns 38%......3s 43% to 28%.....And got bullied to the foul line for a 10 pt advantage there.....that will happen today as well cause ...too many scoring threats at CT....inside and out. always draw lotta St John fouls....Storm gotta watch that today or they'll have to look to walkons.
Can St Johns win this game ..Yup... ask WAKE a 12 pt loser to tha Storm.......Miami another dd loser.......hahaha ask Fairfield a merciful 39 point loser
Does CT matchup .....yes
Will they get outmuscled....I don't think so
Will they shoot better.......they should.... although "Storm" home D is tough ....opp at 38 % (same last year and CT shot 43% away in this one......won the boards and lost the game 65-60
CT is BETTER then last year....lots better with Gordon, Okafor, Hazleton, Hayes etc...............1 problem for CT is recent play of Tony Robertson...11 pts in last 3 games.... If he plays well and Taliek does not try to do toooooo much in front of his home boys
CT should win all aspects of the game.............THOUGH VERY HARD FOUGHT!
St Johns will be missing a few bodies tonight (2 little used big men and Bangura 6 ppg......will take away from depth
Caron Butler stock is falling a bit and he may take it up a notch here on ESPN...........Wow! should be a great game!
good luck
bear
