This is such a tough game to get a handle on. Baylor gets crushed by gonazaga and lost to Tennessee by 15. We should a could a would a beaten them. They beat a pretty good Arkansas team And the rest of their games are against weak competition.

UConn also such a tough read at this point beating up on bad teams and losing all 3 in their tournament.

Thoughts?

Home court I would think will help UConn here but maybe the magic is gone from this team (and certain players) from the past couple years.

we got to see Baylor for 50 mins...

Norchad is very capable down low. I think Reed has the build to keep him honest. Foul trouble will be key...

in terms of guards... i think they are evenly matched... slight edge to Baylor. Diarra/Mahaney is a clear dropoff from what Newton provided the last two years.

Neutral court - Id give this one to Baylor.... in Storrs... I think UConn wins this one
 
Unable to contain his awesomeness, Danny Hurley spreads holiday season wishes of peace and joy to all the officials.

UConn’s interior guys propensity to foul does not bode well with Norchad in town. If Roach gets 15-20 pts Baylor wins.

I am terrible with all this metrics stuff, who do we need to win? I have a hard time rooting for UCONN............ever. Same with Gtown and Cuse

Samson Johnson is a very quick big man. Omier wont have his usual speed advantage. I don't know why he is fouling at such a high rate...my guess would be it comes against bigger players. I know Memphis had some BIG boys. Reed more of a bruiser.

I think Uconn pulls this out if they are shooting well from deep. This game will tell us a lot about Uconn.

I’m very curious for this game. Will tell a lot for both teams I think.

Good game so far. Uconn held off an early run and is getting a friendly whistle at home, especially after a few Hurley blow ups.

No Karaban, which of course hurts Uconn, but that's offset some by no VJ for Baylor.
