Message: [QUOTE="UCONNFAN179, post: 4852773, member: 1571"] This comment made me think. Last year Newton and UCONN were excellent at the beginning of the year. At that time Newton was running the show and Andre was hurt or playing minimum minutes. Then, Andre came back and Newton went south, and we struggled a bit until Hurley finally put Andre off the ball and UCONN became dominant again. This year is eerily similar in that Newton started off dominant and the team was awesome, while Castle was hurt and not playing as much. As Castle returns, Newton has started to struggle. Hopefully this will be recognized, and Hurley will put Castle into Andre‘s role in the offense and just let Newton do his thing as lead guard and not play him off the ball in deference to letting Castle play point guard. Newton seems to take a step back when he is not the lead guard, and frankly, Castle isn’t quite up to that role yet anyway. [/QUOTE]
