Message: [QUOTE="veryolddog, post: 3424893, member: 129"] I am glad you are positive. It is uplifting. However, I would comment that this team played the same as they have in every game of this season. They just had their asses handed to them by an Oregon Team that played outstanding UConn style basketball against a disjointed UConn Team. I swear, that if it wasn't for the color of the uniforms, Oregon played ball like the UConn teams of 2 to 4 years ago. Ball movement; communication; execution; defense; and rebounding. You are correct. The Team needs to learn from this. Big Time. You have asked great questions which get down to the core of the problem: play like a team; ball movement, communication, execution, defense, and rebounding. Pass the ball at least 3 times to find the open player. When they could not score inside, they just gave the ball to someone who they thought could make a 3. Then it was too late. So many unforced errors and turnovers. This has been the performance from the beginning of the season. They have won because they have played inferior teams. They will probably win the American and get the bid to go to the tournament. They will probably will win the first 2 games, but after that it's anybody's guess. They have 3 weeks to learn how to play UConn basketball. I wonder if that is enough? [/QUOTE]
