Even in Sunday's dramatic, comeback win over [B][URL='https://247sports.com/college/providence/']Providence[/URL][/B], UConn's point-of-attack defense was shredded by the Friars' guards. UConn does not have that elite defensive perimeter weapon like it had with [B][URL='https://247sports.com/Player/stephon-castle-46113025/']Stephon Castle[/URL][/B] or [B][URL='https://247sports.com/Player/andre-jackson-46145276/']Andre Jackson[/URL][/B], but this offense is still good enough to go supernova and carry them for multiple games in March. [B][URL='https://247sports.com/Player/alex-karaban-46085750/']Alex Karaban[/URL][/B], Solo Ball and [B][URL='https://247sports.com/Player/liam-mcneeley-46103856/']Liam McNeeley[/URL][/B] are three on-the-move, shot-makers that few teams have.
