Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4310245, member: 12088"] I may be reading those stats incorrectly, but they appear to confirm my sense of things, namely that at the end of the season UConn was the top defensive team in the BE. It’s hard to know since I’m only referring to the last few games, not the entire season. But I’m also mainly thinking of the NCAA tournament, in which we faced the 3 best teams in the country one after another. Our D against NC St and Stanford was decisively good. Against SC we still played great D, but got beat on the glass. Mostly. When I look at those games, I’m thinking of our energy level on D and how we minimized mistakes we’d been prone to earlier in the year. In the first Creighton game and the first DePaul game, they outhustled us to every loose ball. That was not the case in the final few weeks. And yes, I think it had a lot to do with the return of Paige. [/QUOTE]
