Message: [QUOTE="UConnRock, post: 2449080, member: 1024"] 40 minutes. The game is 40 minutes. Ollie needs to drill this into their heads. If this team can't come out and put the screws to Monmouth for 40 minutes then Ollie is not connecting. Ollie survived for years in the NBA by making the most of any opportunity that was presented to him. If he only got 2 minutes in a blow out game it was the best 2 minutes he could muster. Shabazz is doing the same right now for Portland. Shabazz got a bunch of DNPs early in the season and has worked his way up to 12-15 minutes per game. UConn needs to come out and play like they are down 10 at the tip. This crap of letting the game develop and adjusting to what the other team is doing is outrageous. UConn needs to dictate to pace and intensity of the game, especially against inferior athletes like Columbia and others. [/QUOTE]
