Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 5181687, member: 34"] The players showed absolutely zero sense of urgency for the first 15 minutes. There was so little movement of players on offense. It looked nothing like what us fans have become accustomed to seeing on the court. I have no idea why Hurley let them just stand around and move at a snails pace. Last 25 minutes was obviously much better. After being down 28-14 UConn outscored DePaul 58-33. Observations- The lack of urgency in cutting away from the ball. It literally was at a pre-gane walk through pace. Samson Johnson just falling to the ground and an absolute refusal to want to rebound. So infuriating to see a big who doesn't aggressively try to grab every ball. The amount of good looks where the ball was halfway down in the first half and rimmed out. Alex comes off curls and screens, catches the ball and hesitates way too much. He needs to decide before he gets the ball if it's going to be catch and shoot or catch and drive. He loses so much momentum and space when he hesitates. Reed was a beast. Sorry not sorry but he needs to start and play as much as his conditioning allows. Don’t look now but two straight double digit scoring games by Mahaney. Stewart may be an enigma but he can score which is more than what Ross brings. Reed, Karaban, McNeeley, Ball and Diarra. Mahaney, Stewart and Johnson off the bench. You figure out that 8-man rotation and see what happens in March and April. [/QUOTE]
