Message: [QUOTE="zepfan, post: 3384325, member: 8094"] I've watched every Cincy - UConn game since we entered the AAC. This one went the way most of them do. They are stronger and tougher on the block, and their guards are up in our shorts the entire game. The defensive pressure is not countered by offensive aggressiveness (guards driving to the basket) and we can't get any offense going because they also overplay the passing lanes. Last night was no different. Gilbert, Gaffney, and Bouknight had to be able to break their defenders down off the dribble, and/or with high ball screens, and then make a play (not sure any of them have enough talent right now to do this). Couldn't rely on our bigs to create offense one on one - they are definitely not capable of this. Line up changes are not going to make any notable difference - playing time is the issue and Hurley's talk about having a shorter leash makes sense. We need more talent and more intensity. NO excuse for ever being out-toughed. [/QUOTE]
