Ugh I hate this shot you took at Gaffney, but sadly I think you are correct. Look at Nova, when Gillespie goes to the bench Justin Moore enters the lineup and there is almost no drop off. Same with Marquette if Kolek goes to the bench Greg Elliot or Cam Jones enter the game and there is minimal drop off. But when Cole goes to the bench and Gaffney enters the offense really gets bogged down and Ray Charles can see the drop off.
After the Bahamas tournament, Gaffney's poor play is what really stood out to me but I chalked it up to early season rust, or maybe I was rationalizing that it might be that. I wanted Gaff to pick up his play after that tourney to help relieve Cole. if Cole has to constantly handle all the high pressure situations, play tough D on good opposing PGs, dribble the ball up the court and run the offense, and score especially in clutch situations and do all of this with minimal rest he will get burnt out.

I am not sure UConn can win a game where Cole is off.
