Creighton has our number

[Kitaman]

A team with no real identity/lost it's identity that plays to what other teams want to do instead of dictating the terms. UConn never should have lost to Maryland. UConn had the superstar player and the better athletes and yet they walked the ball up the court most of the game and clanged shots in the halfcourt. Hurley went into that game worried about matchups and it showed, UConn should be the ones instilling fear in the other team.

There is where not having a floor leader/general hurt us (along with inexperience).

Our UConn teams with Bazz, Kemba, Khalid (and others) were at times overmatched in the Tourney. I know we had a HOF coach, but these leaders would not allow other teams to dictate the game off of personnel regardless of what the Coach thinks. More importantly these leaders knew their team and how to utilize the players on the floor to our advantage or settle their nerves when overwhelmed or losing focus. They were going to lead their teams to victory.

Doesn't have to be guards, but someone who gains the respect of the team, and the team will follow.

This was sorely missing this year, and I really hope next year does not repeat this void.
