Message: [QUOTE="Spaceman213J, post: 5222667, member: 6477"] AK wasn't bad on D like you said. One of the things that has happened frequently is UConn guys pick up the wrong guy on D in transition. Yes, you have to stop the ball, and not let guys stand wide open or cut to the hoop unguarded, but too many times UConn looks confused as to who they're supposed to pick up. This team is also awful at closing out on 3 point shooters. Watched some of the St. Johns game and their opponents may get wide open three, but they don't typically let you catch a pass and just shoot. They fly out at you and make you take at least one dribble and reset your feet. They don't let you get comfortable at the arc. That's kind of how UConn played the last few years. I'm tired of the soft closeouts, but is this a byproduct of not being able to keep their man in front of them? [/QUOTE]
