Hurley’s Deepest UConn Team

[Lafayette]

We lost to Florida last year because their guy - Walter Clayton Jr. - made shots, and our guys didn't. Had nothing to do with depth whatsoever.

He made some incredible shots and our D was pretty good, but not really good on him. But yes, we failed to score down the stretch as well.

If we could have figured out how to rebound an opponent's missed free throw the outcome of that game may have been different.

Maybe the right defender would have made a difference. Castle would have.
BTW, one final word on the high hedge. If you cut the high hedge at the right time in Florida, it grows back real fast.

I agree, while a nice to have, depth is often overrated by our beloved Casual Fans. Usually eight (8) or less guys win the game.

Basically a valid sentiment, but there is also a quality/quantity piece to be considered, as well.

As mentioned previously, potential matchups against the opponent count for a lot, as well.

Haven't seen them play, yet, this year, let alone against a quality opponent. Nonetheless, I get the sense that the quality of our talent runs deep this year.

We are going to be a match up nightmare, and a deep one at that, to a number of our opponents. (He said, hopefully.)

I agree it helps practice competition and is a safety net from injury impacts. I will agree too that if we have foul trouble, depth helps and it may be useful in handling specific matchups.
