Last game between these 2 will guarantee that CT will play 40 min of basketball FWIW and the adrenalin will flow because they have already fallen victim to Ga Tech............BUT
CT fell apart in that game ......Okafor was hobbling up and down the court holding his back from the spasms, Charlie V was inelligible, CT was 1-10 from 3 and 10 for 30 from the free throw line.........(a meltdown of sorts) CT was outrebounded47-46.......shot under 40% etc. All credit to Tech for taking it to the "Huskies" back then as 8 point pups BUT....its a better team now. although you wouldnt guess it after the Duke game...
To the data:
shooting %.......... edge CT 48% to 47%
3s.......... edge CT 41% to37%
Assists.......... edge CT 18 to 15
rebounds.......... edge CT 43 to 36
blocks, turnovers, fouls,............. edge CT
foulshooting..................................edge GT
Calhoun.........................................edge CT
Margin of victory ........CT -15, ............Ga Tech -10
Score more than opp allows on avg.......CT-12.1........Ga Tech- 7.6
Ds opp to under their avg. by ..........CT 6.2...........Ga Tech - 6.5
Factor Tech as having a slightly tougher schedule....80.5 to 77.1
When I cranked these and a few other numbers and adjusted proportionally for sos etc........................I got CT winning by a scores ranging from 73-70 to 75 -69 also CT being favored by 6.2
slight edge to CT but really too close to call at -5
Good Luck with whomever you pick!
