The players lack confidence because they are being asked to do things on the court they haven't practiced and refined in practice.

This relates to the thread about what does UConn do in practice.   It's obvious UConn doesn't have a tried and true set of plays they can run at the end of shot clock or end of game. It's more a hodge podge of throw pasta on the wall and see what sticks.

Geno used to say (and maybe still does) practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.  You don't practice until you get it right, you practice until you don't get it wrong.  That's when you have players moving with confidence and assertiveness.  Every player knows the purpose of their movement and how their movement affects the play.

Similarly Larry Legend had a quote about being on foul line at end of game and the shooter knowing in their head whether or not they put in the work to make those free throws.

I'm not a sky is falling, the season is over person right now, but there are some fundamental flaws in the program that need fixing for in game momentum swings and end of game execution.  What we fans saw against WVU wasn't unique to the WVU game.  It's a pattern.
