CBS Sports: Scouting UConn

[nomar]

One huge thing that doesn't get mentioned enough about the NCAA tournament is that the timeouts/commercial breaks are longer. More time to catch your breath so you can exert more energy during play. That was HUGE for us in the Mich St. game. The commercials and timeouts seemed endless to me as an anxious fan, especially because that game was uniquely a game with a lot of runs, so both coaches were burning through timeouts. Boatright was able to exert crazy amounts of energy on both sides of the ball.

Funny, I didn't even notice that until I went to the MSU game. Every 30-second TO was "extended to a full timeout." What's the point of the 30-second timeouts then?

Whenever UConn's season ends ... will share a key insight I have yet to read or hear anywhere ....nor in any 'news' media outlet ...even the so-called 'scouting reports' or coaches analyses. Much of what I am reading/hearing sounds largely 'canned'. Not trying to sound nor appear 'smarter than the avg. bear' here either...but I'm comfortable with my analytical assessments.

I will say this .......there is something unique to UConn. And if you do not realize that then you are not going to be able to adequately 'scheme' Kevin Ollie's team that was 'built' (recruited and initially 'schooled') by Jim Calhoun

I'll give you a pass on the cryptic post and I look forward to hearing your observation.

trust me ...over the years ......learned....less is better (i.e., mojo - "we don't stand a chance.....; barely deserve to be here/there .....". Folks do read these blogs....... BillyD & crew are savvy folks ........ it can wait. But methinks KO & crew (as well as Calhoun ...) know ...which is all that counts now!

As Sir Charles might say ..... Shabazz is tuuuurrrbl
