Everyone needs a psychologist. Everyone who can afford it has one. That's no lie and it's nothing to be ashamed about either.

I was laughing not at the your perceiced humor of your comment, but rather, the stupidity of it.

This is what practice is for. And as far as your blueprint, it’s proven to be a losing formula. Not sure why you’re celebrating a losing formula. The object of the game is to win. It’s like saying you have the cure to a deadly disease, but when tested, it doesn’t work. We have things to work on like every other team. If we see it, then the coaches see it, it’s their job. I will say, what is concerning, is Ball’s poor play. Without him playing at a high level, we’re in trouble. Everything else is just what you said, a trend. They come and go.

The AP is one of the most predictable things on the planet. The voters barely think, they just move stuff around based on who won and who lost.

They're winning, but there are flaws. One issue is that it's been very rare we get the whole group playing well in the same game. Today we had Silas and some Tarris for a bit, and that's where it ended. Other days it's a different 1 or 2 players. One of these days, we'll get all 5 guys clicking, hopefully.

You mean 3 bad games out of 19, all spread out? If that's a slump every player would probably take that. Come on, be real.

lol
That’s 100% how SH turned an 18 point deficit into 1 within about 12 minutes. How could you say that isn’t a concern??

It is only mid January. UConn often struggles in January even in the championship years. Yes they need to improve in many categories but they have plenty of time to do it. If they are still playing like this at the end of February then its time be concerned. For now we should be enjoying the wins. It is good for them to play in close games with game pressure on. If the team has weaknesses its good for them to be exposed now while there is plenty of time to make adjustments.
It’s been a losing formula because teams either took too long to get into it or didn’t have the talent to pull it off. This was Seton Hall and Georgetown, not Michigan and Duke.
God you people are stupid
They only had 17 TOs in that game. Not great but better than last year. It was the inability to make an outside shot that allowed Seton Hall back in that game. If they make 2 more 3s and shoot 5-17 rather than 3-17, that game never gets close. Unlike last year they didn’t turn it over once the lead was cut to 1 and they finished strong.
The press is Seton Hall’s specialty. Uconn hadn’t won in that building for
Karaban’s entire career. Seton Hall came in ranked #25 and they had a good crowd. That was a solid win for UConn.
This team was built to beat teams by making 3s and they are struggling to shoot, but still finding ways to win.

Wow, that's quite strong and insulting comment.
FWIW, you're not going to see Michigan or Duke, or any top program that rarely presses full court, play rock fight hoops like that.
If teams try to play a full court frenetic style from the jump, they'd fail to sustain that, run out of gas and run out of players. The era where a program tries to win by playing 40 minutes of hell hoops is decades in the past.
Now St. John's will, since Ricky P recruits as many strong athletes as possible so that he can keep running them out on the floor not worrying too much if a few foul out. He counts on the refs won't constantly call fouls. Programs that play like that do so because they don't have the skilled players to win without making the game into a cluster f*<<k.
As we all have witnessed, that doesn't work in the NCAA Tournament.
UConn has shown that it has the talent to win against that type of play. In fact if they can get out of this shooting funk, they'll destroy teams that try to play us this way.
I think your argument is flawed but you have a right to your opinion.

You'd think after all this time teams would know how to break a full court press. But maybe not after so many years of it being away?
Stamina is really overrated when it comes to these things. These are 18-23 year olds playing basketball twice a week. They can run around for 40 minutes just fine.
It's not the NBA where you can be a 30 year old playing a back to back 48 minute game.
