Message: [QUOTE="BobbyJ, post: 2914613, member: 4250"] IMO, UConn has two problem areas to play around to be a NC threat. Lack of size and physicality up front and lack of a good mid-range offense. Well coached teams with serious size will take away their only consistent post offense, Collier, forcing them into a perimeter, one and done offense. Other than Walker they have no slasher/pull up scorer to draw fouls and get to the line meaning they'll have to shoot 3s at a high percentage to score 80+ pts against those good teams. Defensive boards will be key which is why they'll have to stay in those zones. If they can't clear and get out in transition, run those big posts and get some easy points, they'll struggle. I like the 3/4 court trap forcing chaos and forcing non PGs to handle the ball. However, their lack of depth won't allow that for extended periods. Auriemma's going to have to really coach this year and make in-game adjustments. We'll see. [/QUOTE]
