Message: [QUOTE="hardcorehusky, post: 2043139, member: 593"] To me the game of basketball changed in the Olympics. European bigs shooting 3's, opening up the lane for dribble drive and spreading the floor. 3 pointers are game changers and even if you get a 20 -20 from a big, you have to have some 3 's to open things up for everyone else. Last night, I thought slowing the game down worked well for South Carolina, but also took them out of rhythm. Trying to execute at the end of the shot clock for 40 minutes against UCONN is difficult. UCONN kept hurrying things up and in the second half, and to me, it was the mental exhaustion rather than physical that did the Gamecocks in. They had the game in control until the final minute of the 2nd quarter and then the last minute of the 3 rd quarter UCONN jumped further ahead. Mentally draining and frustrating. [/QUOTE]
