Message: [QUOTE="jeff30189, post: 4277235, member: 11868"] Geno is now 11-1 in championship games and all of a sudden UCONN is a second-tier program headed for the exit and he's a dinosaur who has forgotten how to coach? Head bang This was an unprecedented year in terms of adversity, so I'm not sure I'd use it to predict the imminent decline into mediocrity. The offense needs a tweak, but the pieces are there. If you're a metrics driven analyst it's Points Per Possession and Effective FG%, both of which increase if you have guards/wings capable of knocking down 40% of their 3 pointers and bigs who can hit 75% of their FTs. Considering a large chunk of this season was simply finding 6 healthy bodies, you sort of had to take what was available. Paige, Azzi and Caroline can shoot. They can all drain 40% of their 3's, and they can all shoot 80% of their FTs. Dorka and AE got better on FTs as the year went along, so the other team pays a price by fouling. But they can't keep missing layups, and the bench has to get way more consistent offensively. [/QUOTE]
