Hamilton was awful but we don't have much on the bench to replace him with. This team really is not very deep. Kevin Ollie doesn't have a lot of options. Gibbs made second team all big east last season. Does anyone think he is going to make second team AAC this season? This team isn't going anywhere until they get better play from the point guard position.

Teams have started to figure out DHam. He consistently pump fakes his jumper and wants to drive with his favorite move of going right and spinning back to his left.
Even when he's not scoring he's usually boarding and facilitating but in this game he just flat out stunk. Hey it happens and maybe if we had some better coaching down the stretch or some other guys hit some timely hoops at the end then we would be talking about how we survived the worst performance from DHam

Temple learned that Hamilton tends to drive to the middle and likes to take floaters or go off the glass. they packed in their defense in the lane all game and it frustrated Hamilton, who had no room to get off any shots. Good coaching on temple's part and poor reaction from DHam and Ollie
Inherently, UConn's biggest problem is that none of their guards (Gibbs, Purvis, Adams, Hamilton, Calhoun) can finish at the rim. And at the other end, Uconn is not big enough up front to stop other teams from finishing in the lane. So the offense tends to be dribble drive to set up a three (as cannot finish), get the ball to the one post player on the team (who's 6'7") or....? and on defense, if the perimeter defender gets beat there is almost never the help to force a tough shot or pass
