In the tournament it's win and move on. As I had predicted, winning tournament games is what UConn does. So let's look at just a few things before moving on:
- Shooting over 95% from the line wins tournament games and shooting FTs like CO loses games.
- Again UConn did not handle pressure well - even though the turnovers were largely self inflicted. KO did finally make a good adjustment -Purvis inbound to Jalen who hits DHam in the middle who then hits Gibbs coming up the weakside sideline. This resulted in 6 Gibbs FTs. Linking this to the first point -Coach Calhoun often said who shoots foul shots is more important than what some coach thinks he's done to improve someone's FT shooting. True to form KO largely had Gibbs and Dham shooting foul shots when it counted.
- The best point in the chat was by Harry - UConn doesn't stall well - it almost always results in a turnover or a poor shot at the shot clock if it doesn't run out. I think KO just needs to bag the stall.
- Match-up zones - Glen Miller's zone worked poorly the first half - a little better the second half - but the dominate defenses were our man and 1-2-2 press.
- We need to rebound better and Facey needs to box out during foul shots.
- Purvis played very well - Shonn needs to stop reading Brimah's book on fouling - that's why Calhoun never liked these book smart guys - just kidding
- KO can't fall in love with his starting lineup against KO - will be tough to dig out of hole against them - so be ready to substitute early.
- My prediction is by Saturday morning
- Now will start celebrating the win and St Patrick's day!
