Message: [QUOTE="Bill In Georgia, post: 4598969, member: 1362"] There is more to becoming a point guard or a forward or a center than learning how to handle a basketball and learn plays..It requires hours/months/years of study, just like the QB in football as he approached the line ... looks and checks the defense and adjusts... When you hit the court and they throw the 2-1-2 press at you..you know in a instant how to adjust and break it..But I don't think thats the problrm...When the OU staff claims they get 20 turnovers a game with their press that opens many doors to a possible Uconn weakness, one that will require going back to the classroom and study press options. We either do that or everybody and there brother will throw off the wall press's at us..and we cannot stande 20 plus flips a game... If OU could every meet a teram like SC, and if they had three lights out 3 point guards...Watch Out..!!! I don't think SC's 6 foot 5-7-4 inch players could hand OU ... Controlling the tempo, and speed of the game is a chore for the coaches. at a times we play to fast. then too slow, which leads to miss-quees and throw aways...So another off season chore for the coaches..

I hope that SC/OU will meet as it will be a game of games...
