Message: [QUOTE="MuchoDogYears, post: 4471264, member: 5395"] Fair response. To get to the Final Four you have to win 4 games against increasingly better, and hotter, teams. If Newton plays poorly AND the shooters are “off”, (like last night) can we lose? If it’s Houston, Alabama, etc then the answer is yes. Our shooters weren’t “off” when we played Alabama so we didn’t need Newton to be anything more than ok that day Newton’s main job as PG is to get the ball to the other 4 players in a position where they can score. Get them an open look. His second job is to set the tempo. He plays a herky jerky slow game that’s ball bouncing dominant while the team wants to play fast, cut hard, etc. Can and should UConn get to the Final Four with Newton playing this way at PG? Probably. Is it a lock? Only if he improves. [/QUOTE]
