The theme of “40 minutes of dread” has been the mantra this season for Kentucky. They have used an aggressive, disrupting defense to cause opponents to come out of their comfort zone. However applying it to a well-rounded UConn team is different than using it on a one-player dominated team like Delaware.
“With Connecticut, you are certainly not focused on one player,” explained Mitchell. “You’re focused more on how their team is getting involved in different things. We have to work really, really hard defensively from a fundamental stand point to have success against a team like Connecticut because they are so solid offensively.”
