They CANNOT allow another 14 3's like they did against Temple.

“You got to continue to play them. I don’t think we’re far off (from winning),” Staley said. “It’s a notch in our belt. It isn’t anything more than that.”

Nice going Dawn. I hope that quote is up in our locker room today.

Opponents are shooting 28% on 3-pointers. No way that is 309th. If the ranking is % of opponent shots that are 3-pointers then I believe it.

Yeah, might suffer another 25 point margin of victory

You're right, it's the rate I was looking at.

One stat that is interesting, however, is that they are 321st in % of points allowed on threes. I don't know if that's because they pack it in due to lack of height, or just struggles with perimeter defense.

Ranked 44th nationally

You really need to find another Avitar as I keep confusing you with Triad- he did first! Can’t you find a photo of Fargas and puta red “X” over it as you’re meme, then I could completely endorse you!

Does this work?

In this game in particular i think the bench can be very useful.So.Carolina has a bunch of good rebounding bigs and speedy guards that can be tiring to play against.The starting five will need a couple of minutes of sitting here and there to be at maximum efficiency.Bent and coombs are pretty good defenders to come in for just a couple of minutes every so often.Hopefully Camara can be used momentarily throughout the game and not just at garbage time.I expect Ono will be super fired up and be even better than she was at N.D.This could be a game that defines who Uconn can be going forward.There won't be any other tests quite like this until maybe the third round of the ncaa tourney.Go sleddogettes.
