Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 3020533, member: 73"] There are a bunch of UConn fans in the dumps this morning. UConn has lost . UConn has lost its second game of the regular season which hasnt happened in a very long time. In the past I called UConn invincible, this team is not there yet. I said in a post yesterday LVille had to have alot of scoring from everybody not named Durr and they did. UConn didnt. UConns inexperience underclassman showed tonite. UConns offense was to dependent and deferring to the big 3. We need more help from everybody other then the big 3. Early in the season our outside shooting was shining. For the past few games we have had clouds looking over our outside shooting. We have improved quite a bit since the Baylor game but our scoring hasnt. Defense is good not great but better. Ono Irwin and Bent have come along nicely however they are still developing. All 3 need to score along with every body else. Defenses can lay off guarding them because theyre not a threat to score. They need to become scoring threats. UConn is a very talented team and as my friend Eric in LA said we have all those AA's. However we have AA's that are underclassman and we need them to score in order to win Big games like last nite. That comes with experience and experience and development takes time. The focus should not be on the polls, or our seeding, how many records we set or anything else. Our focus should be on getting better as a team. Forget about this loss. We need to focus on our offense and if that means shooting 300-500 shots a day then do it. Make it happen. The scoring load right now is on KLS NC and CD. They need help. Last nite LVille had all 5 players involved and all played well as a team. UConn didnt. Give LVille credit they played a terrific game. They had a game plan and were disciplined enough to trust it and execute it. The UConn teams of the past were great at execution. Setting screens, clearing out, pick and rolls, and moving not standing around. Last nite we didnt do that. There is not place to turn. We are what we are right now. I am very encouraged to see the improvement however we are not where we need to be. Continued improvement and making shots will help. We missed alot of bunnies and open shots last nite we can not continue to do that. Our margin for error is small. We need to put in the extra work. We can out talent alot of teams however teams that have balanced scoring attacks, teams that are not dependent on one two or three scorers will make it difficult for UConn. Its starting February. We need to change or we will continue to struggle against top teams. We need to MAKE IT HAPPEN. [/QUOTE]
