Maryland +6.5 over Notre Dame **
Line has dropped big time due to Aconwa injury...ND is the better team without a doubt...better shooters,defense,etc...but losing your 2nd best scorer and top rebounder and best inside defender at this point of the season could be devastating.You have won 37 straight games with her as your most important part of your team...losing her early on in the season or a few games before isn't as bad because you have had time to make adjustments and practice without her...ND hasn't had to much time or any games to see how they adjust...Terps have one of the top 3 players in the country in Thomas...does everything..shoots,rebounds,dribbles,passes..etc..she is the best player on the court tonite.ND can shoot the eyes out of the hoop but they got to play in front of there home crowd in the last 2 games...think Terps can keep this close with Thomas..Terps need to protect the ball and as long as Thomas isn't in foul trouble she alone can keep this tight..not a strong play because the ND's shooters do not miss open jumpers or even hit the rim...its all net... and another point about the officiating...everyone wants ND vs UConn..two undefeated teams playing each other...ratings will be big and bring a lot more people that don't even watch girls to their TV sets..tonites games are going against "Game of Thrones".....
UConn -12.5 over Stanford ****
Trish{Stanford coach},can you keep your mouth shut...don't you get it when you open your mouth Geno's loving it....the media buys it,your Cardinal fans love it,your players eat it up,etc..." we are a JV team compared to ND and UConn,we are going to be someones hors d'oeuvers but we won't be swallowed easy"..everyone wants to see 2 undefeated teams playing each other...etc,etc...worry about the Huskies defense,5 scorers,Dolson in the middle,-Lewis everywhere,Jefferson everywhere and where will Stewart be setting up for a 3...Huskies beat you way back this year 75-57{Conn lost there top player for the season who scored 20 pts in that game}...the year before they stopped your 82 straight home streak record..{ but you did stop there 90 game win streak the year before that}..Ogwumike is probably the best scorer and rebounder in the country..Orange can score...etc...Huskies play better defense...and they have been so dominate thru out the season...they struggled with Tex AM in their last game..up by 3 with 15 minutes left..then they connected and it was all over...its good Geno's team struggled a little..wake up call...think its a close game but with 15 minutes left think they put them away..." what did Trish say about hors d'oeuvers .
