Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 2082261, member: 153"] This "before" the injuries thing is way overblown. This team even in the exhibition season came out and played selfishly. Teams lose to crap teams out of the gate every year. But they turn it around eventually. Heck, those teams beat other blue bloods this very year. The point is, the team started jelling just when UConn team's usually gel, only this one has less talent. Despite what the announcers were saying the other day about UConn taking poor shots, UConn's problem was not MAKING shots. I heard the announcer criticize shot selection when Jalen drove into the paint and kicked out to Christian for a wide open 3, no one around him. Our current lineup cannot make shots! And despite the criticism of Ollie moving away from UConn's preferred man-to-man style, it should have been obvious that Cincy was stoned in the second part of the first half when UConn moved to an unusual zone. Terry Larrier really is a good player. And a second ballhandler would reduce turnovers and make all the difference. [/QUOTE]
