Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 3458649, member: 7093"] Let me offer open note of caution. Everyone ( coaches, analysts, players ) says that it is UCONN's defense which is creating their improved offense. And the evidence is pretty obvious. However, it is quite a different task to defend Baylor, SC or any of the top-ranked teams, than it is to defend a Houston or Cincy. As such, the " defense turning to offense " opportunities will be much harder to come-by. We have seen what happens when UCONN is forced into a flat half-court offense; the movement and flow dry up, and we don't get uncontested shots. I certainly hope that we can keep up the defensive pressure. We played defense pretty well vs. Baylor for 35 minutes. But we must realize that the road is going to get much tougher. [/QUOTE]
