Message: [QUOTE="DogMania, post: 5175204, member: 21"] The assist differential is very deceiving since many of our opponents are threading our defense off the dribble and scoring without the assist of an assist. Granted, UConn scores a lot of baskets off of half court execution which leads to more assists than teams that rely on dribble penetration. The eye test lately clearly shows that you can is struggling against teams that they shouldn't be and you can't rely on the stats. The ones that is very telling, teams are scoring a lot of points at the free throw line against us. Imagine if our defense was a little closer to what we're used to seeing. We likely have just one or two losses and be ranked in the top 10. Much improvement is needed on both ends of the floor, and hopefully getting McNeeley back at some point will help in that direction.
