I agree.  The numbers tell the tale.  Memphis took 40 free throws to UConn's 24 making 10 more free throws than UConn (and it wasn't like UConn was fouling a ton to extend the game).  Plus Memphis shot 55% from the field and 55% from 3.  Frankly, with those numbers, they should have won by double digits.  UConn needs to improve defensively and find a steady hand to go to when they need to stop a run.  Last year it was Newton and Spencer.  For now, it has to be Ball and Karaban until McNeeley starts to become a bit more consistent.  Yes the Hurley T was the turning point, but UConn still had trouble making stops in OT even on the lead.  This is sort of like the Seton Hall replay from last year, except UConn came back, forced OT, and honestly should have won the game.  Certainly the officiating was deplorable and the main difference in the game was the foul line.  Moving forward, you gotta figure out SJ.  He is either gonna overcome his penchant for fouling or you gotta starting figuring out plan b.
