Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3814905, member: 1414"] UConn lead the country in shot blocking how many years in a row? Calhoun never went small. Never played more than 3 guards. Because he’d rather die to a streaky hot shooting team than give up free layups over and over, which is what we did today. UConn has almost never played a 3 guard lineup, it is not our DNA. I’d love to see our +/- today when we had Whaley and Sanogo both in and when we didn’t. I’d guess it was something like +16 with them playing together. Is Hurley saying that if he had Wilt Chamberlain and a team went 5 guards, he’d pull Wilt? This was a pathetic small team and the only strategy that made sense was to go big and exploit their weakness. Let them launch 3s. They aren’t a 50% shooting team from deep, so misses were coming.
