That's a more extreme way of putting it than I did while texting my sister.

My concern then was that 3 players had 3 fouls, and that is one-on-one challenges close the the basket weren't helping. UNC was getting its points one way or another in such settings because that was the strength of their talented offensive players.

UConn had more shots and possessions due to better rebounding and protecting the ball. UNC was on track to score below their average, so UConn defense wasn't doing badly. It wasn't necessary to try and stop all shots.

So long as UConn could score, trading baskets would heavily favor UConn. Losing players to fouls, missing free throws, and rushed shots presented the greatest risks. Clock management would make it impossible for UNC to catch up. A deeper bench, and more ways to play would tire and frustrate UNC. It eventually played out that way.

Your simple sentence accurately identifies where UNC is not at its best
