Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 5174909, member: 11108"] I will stand up for our players about this criticism about us not doing things well, when every major statistics category, other than foul related ones show that they do: Assists: UConn (368) to Opponents (188). That’s almost 10 more unselfish assists per game. An unbelievable unselfish #! Steals: UConn (108) to Opponent (93). Isn’t that toughness along with rebounding? Rebounds: UConn (657) to Opponents (564). Is that toughness? Shooting %: UConn (49.4%) to Opponent (42.5%). This clearly shows both our offense AND defense are much better than our opponents ! The truth is absent the Syracuse native Pat Driscoll crew games and another crew we would only have 1-2 loses. It is tough to overcome 14-16 less foul shot attempts per game, foul trouble reducing player minutes, and opponent going into bonus early storm. So the impact is even bigger than the direct FT points. [/QUOTE]
