Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4533240, member: 833"] Creighton's starting lineup is better than UConn's, and there is not a lot schematically that I see as a way to adjust. If UConn pressures the perimeter, Kalk will chew UConn up at the basket, in addition to surrendering penetration. If UConn protects the hoop, Creighton will bomb away. Creighton's shooters are a bit streaky and susceptible to really poor shooting games but hoping they miss is not a strategy. Creighton is really good defensively too. Even Scheierman is a decent defender. UConn has to figure out a way to get Creighton to its bench early and for a lot of minutes. Push the tempo and try to tire them out. If one of Creighton's players picks up a dumb foul, attack that player the rest of the game. If UConn can get a lot of minutes from Creighton's bench, that switches the balance in UConn's favor.
