Message: [QUOTE="BostonBay, post: 4050249, member: 10266"] The reason Uconn lost last year in the semis (and the past several years) is they got punched in the mouth & they didnt know how to punch back. UConn's a "finesse" team, plain-and-simple. Thats fine against the creampuffs in the regular season, but when the stakes are at their highest & your competitor provokes you into a "rock fight", you have to know how to respond. And, UConn hasnt. It helps if you have some "bangers" on the inside and are used to a physical game in the paint. Instead, UConn has relied on talented, but finesse, wingers to win games. UConn had the same problem with some of the physical Rutgers teams about 15 years ago. UConn was more talented on paper, but couldnt adjust to Rutgers' game, especially when DT left. [/QUOTE]
