Have to learn how to make each possession count in these games.
1. At 48-47 UConn had three straight possessions that came up empty. A couple of good looks at 3's but they didn't drop.
2. @Chief00 correctly points out players hanging at FT line waiting for refs to figure things out leads to poor first FT attempts (JA with less than a minute to go).
3. Carlton played much better interior D the second half. He is overwhelmed offensively against better opponents but that was legit D he was playing.
4. Great to see ball movement towards the end and twice finding Polley for spot up 3's. Much more for opponents to defend than the high pick and roll only.
5. After an active first half was hoping to see more of Sid in second half.
6. AI had a bad game. Not the end of the world but he needs to learn his limits and to trust his teammates.
7. Need to work on lobs for alley oops on the dribble, drop plays to the bigs. Arizona just kept their hands below their shoulders and easily deflected or stole several drop off attempts by UConn guards. Have to be able to put the ball up towards the rim. No, Carlton and Cobb aren't high risers but they can catch and shoot passes that go up high.
Not the worst loss in the world, but this game was definitely winnable.
