Message: [QUOTE="Scottobot, post: 5174802, member: 12452"] Hard to figure out this team. In stretches they look really good, and in other stretches they look awful. Their opponents have a lot of 11-1 or 10-0 runs … but in general they are treading water while McNeeley out. The bad: UConn fouls too much of three point shots. UConn has stretches where they can’t score, and opponents score 5 times in a row on iso drives or iso post ups. UConn also leaves shooters open in the corners all the time. If UConn’s offensive set doesn’t work they don’t have a great option of someone who can create their own shot in the last 7 seconds of clock. The good: When UConn blocks a shot or gets a steal they get some nice transition transition baskets. UConn runs some nice offensive sets and gets a lot of good shots off their sets. Ball is a great shooter, and getting better are scoring in different ways. Karaban is a great player and makes a lot of clutch baskets. To do anything postseason UConn needs: 1. A healthy McNeeley 2. Jaylyn Stewart to play consistently good, and not just good every 3rd game. 3. Either Mahaney or Nowell to be a player who can consistently score when driving to hoop. [/QUOTE]
