Defense

[Danzz]

Our defense was outstanding. Nolan and Daniels battled in the paint and our guards didn't allow many open looks in the second half. We turned them over and usually scored on MSU when we did. Our quickness on defense and FT shooting won this for us. Just an incredible season and we're off to the final 4 to play a team we beat already and I don't care who was hurt for Florida, we beat them and can do it again.

As usual with UConn men's hoop, they have to win it win D. And defense it was. Nice gut check guys. Oh and to the NCAA, what you gonna do take away two more scholarship (and give them to North Carolina), ban them from the Final Four in 2014 and the post season from 2015-2018.

Absolutely true. Outstanding. Screw you Charles Barkley, who's Auburn has never been anywhere in the tourney- let alone the fFinal Four.

Ollie has already instituted Calhoun's toughness in his teams. Great defense and great under pressure. Remarkable. Calhoun deserves a lot of credit pushing for Ollie.
