Message: [QUOTE="gsmooth, post: 4986494, member: 9355"] Their team wasn't terrible. They were really good, at least their starting 5 was really good, but the team lacked depth. They could've been a Final Four team at full strength. They gave UConn 1 of their 3 losses. Were they fortunate and lucky to beat UConn this year? Yes, the game was at their home court at a pumped up Allen Field House (AFH) and UConn was shorthanded as they were without Castle, with Spencer playing on one leg after 5 minutes of game time (all his shots were short because of this) and Clingan wasn't in game shape as he was still recovering from his foot injury in late September. If both teams were at full strength, UConn would beat them even at AFH and most definitely at Gampel, Hartford, MSG, Boston, or any other neutral site. Once McCullar went down, it was a wrap. He was arguably their best player. [/QUOTE]
