Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 2111328, member: 7511"] Some have touched on Geno and UConn's ability to control variables that can influence the outcome of games better than any other team. While there are many variables, the two critical ones that UConn handles better than any other team in WBB both involve, "shooting the basketball." On offense every team has off shooting games, but UConn is the best passing team in WBB, and this year's team is on it's way to being the best passing team in the history of WBB. The Huskies move the ball like no team I've ever seen. As a result, they get more layups and open jump shots then anyone, so even if they're off a little, they will still shoot a pretty good percentage from the floor. On the defensive end, you can run into a really hot shooting team that seemingly can't miss. UConn always plays great "team" defense. They are long and athletic. They switch all over the court and will come at you with multiple defenses. For an opposing coach, you pretty much have to figure out how to beat UConn when scoring 10-20 pts less than your average, because UConn will speed you up, move you further away from the basket and contest every shot you take.
