UConn vs St. Joe's:

Offense:  Kevin Ollie 2.0. Perimeter........perimeter.......perimeter......perimeter........shoot.

Defense: Play with my hands (I want to steal the ball, slam the dunk, impress the scouts/crowd), not with my feet for the benefit of the team.

Defensive Rebounding: Turn around and reach. Box out, what is that?

Offensive Rebounding: Climb over the guy who is (correctly) boxing me out (risking a foul)? No, spin, and go to where the ball is likely to be (75% of missed shots deflect off the rim to the opposite side of the shooter)? Offensive rebounding takes anticipation, discipline and a rudimentary knowledge of geometry/physics. Too difficult for our coaches/players to embrace?

Big Guys: UConn coaching staff has for innumerable years been woeful in improving big guys throughout their four year careers; Corny Thompson being the unfortunate poster boy, but Thabeet and Brimah belong on the same poster. Don't counter with Drummond. He was here for only one year. Or Okafor, who was a stud the day he arrived.

Hurley has to walk the walk, not talk the talk. This is an undisciplined, fundamentally unsound, selfish team.
