Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 4271717, member: 8636"] We had a couple weeks of games, including the BE tournament, in which UConn was locking down the opponent defensively. Pressure on the ball, in the passing lanes, and fronting the posts. Then the bigs have to come further out to get the ball. UConn was destroying people. Remember Siegrist shooting airballs from 25 feet. Can't UConn do that against Stanford, Louisville, and SC. IMO our Achilles Heel is dribble drive. Not sure that's the strength of any of these teams. I can picture Nika shutting down any of these players- Henderson, Cooke, Hull, even Jones and Van Lith. Frankly, Wilson could be in trouble. That's what I want to see. I am not as concerned about fouls, except obviously Liv and AE. But if the pressure's out front, that means less pressure on the posts. UConn has 25 fouls at the guard position. Stanford can shoot FT's but I want to see pressure. Take them out of their stuff. [/QUOTE]
