Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2576674, member: 199"] The slow down is pretty standard fare with Uconn in second halves and is based on some simple math - last night for example 1. 20 point lead 2. No team shoots 50% against the Uconn defense 3. 20 minutes and 30 second shot clock should result during a slowdown game in 30 shots maximum for the opponent. 4. 30 shots at less than 50% is maximum of 14 makes - if 50% are threes (unlikely) then opponent scores 35 points - call it 40 at the outside. 5 40 points minus 20 point Uconn lead = 20 - Uconn needs to score 21 points to win in 20 minutes 6. Except for Stanford in that miserable NC game I cannot remember a half of basketball when Uconn scored less than 21 points. Last night Uconn scored an 'ugly 27' and Louisville scored 36 - Uconn wins. Louisville got 29 shots and made 15 (51.7%! but only 33% were 3s.) [/QUOTE]
