Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3940949, member: 3535"] I don't agree. Not buying the excuses for missed layups. I don't have to watch the Baylor game to understand UCONN missed too many layups. But as you say - I'll watch what their offense was - but you put two players in the post - I can't believe you've opened up anything for guards that aren't so hot at creating on their own. For example, Paige isn't a great isolation player. Our guards need picks. And if our bigs missed layups in a high post then why would we consider that they wouldn't miss layups in a 3-2 set? And if it was more of the guards missing layups then the same blown layups applies in a 3-2 set. As a result, I'm skeptical about your point that we need a different set. Again UCONN went to the Final Four which is tremendous. In one of their two losses they scored 87 points. Losing one game because of your offense is not a reason to tear the system down. Bottomline is that if your offense is run well enough to get layups then it should be good enough to win. The "we weren't prepared" imo is an excuse that any player/team/fan can say for any loss if you want to stretch it hard enough. And while I'm skeptical of any different offense - with Azzi - who knows - I expect anything can work. Whatever 3-2 or whatever. [/QUOTE]
