Change in gameplan catches ND off guard

[8893]

Great insight from Atkins's quote in the Courant article:

Huskies Change It Up
With Tyler Olander developing a hot hand in the second half, UConn went away from its usual M.O. and began feeding the low post. The Fighting Irish did not react particularly well.
"We were really expecting more of the same in the second half," Atkins said, "with Napier and Boatright, and were kind of caught off guard that they kept feeding the post and going to DeAndre Daniels and Tyler Olander. That kind of caught us off guard defensively because we didn't want to leave Napier and Boatright open. So that threw us off a little bit."

The sky is the limit for this team if people have to pay attention to our bigs. They'll have to continue to earn the attention, but any team devising a game plan to deal with our frontcourt is already helping our cause, because it takes attention away from our guards, who are our most lethal assets.

They must have a pretty good coach to make that adjustment!!

This is why i think this team could be really really good next year. we can get some points in the post from EW,TO and if we can get that AB kid we will be solid in the post. if fancey can also score it will open things up for bazz,boat,omar and DD. good luck guarding that if your an opposing team.
