The OP asked what about Solo Ball. If UConn had an efficient lineup which included Solo Ball it would have made the list.
It isn't rocket science. This isn't 2024-2025. UConn has often played better with Solo on the bench.
No doubt UConn is a better title contender with Ball's shooting from last year than what he has done this year. All us fans want to see him find his best role on this year's team and do better. And Hurley has a track record with Adama, Jackson, and several others of fine tuning their role mid-season and getting them ready for the tourney.
