Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 5133220, member: 3535"] IMO it's the other way around. But it's not "literal. (i.e hitting a high % of 3's "every" game)" Because of their offense, not just perimeter shots, that this will give them the edge to win the title or go as far as they can. If their offense "duds" then the chance they beat the more elite inside teams is not so hot. And if their offense duds when they go against a team like ND more than likely they aren't going to come up on top. This team will go as far as their offense takes them. Of course they can't be "terrible" defensively. But their defense can only be so good. But their offense has a potential "prolific" ceiling. Their Big 3 in terms of not only individual play but how they can work together have the potenital to be "prolific" offensively. On the flip-side if their defense is bad, they can still win the game vs the elite teams with their offense if the Big 3 play as they are capable. Once UCONN's Big 3 shows consistency of hitting 3's, then they'll be scouted/planned to limit this prolific strength before the game begins. This opens up a lot for the others. The key is that all 3 players must be playing at high effciciency by the end of the season and at least shown something in regard to their 3 big games vs ND, SoCal, and SoCar. [/QUOTE]
