Message: [QUOTE="GiladKatzDeli, post: 2107668, member: 5838"] Geno has said multiple times that UConn tries to force opponents into situations that they're not comfortable in and take away their strengths. Tonight, that means: Denying touches to Sykes and Peterson and making somebody else beat you. Peterson accounts for half of the 'Cuse's assists and is a good distributor. You deny her touches and make someone else be the primary ball handler and you can potentially make things very difficult for them. Anyone can get hot for a single game, but the rest of the 'Cuse players are not above average shooters statistically. In fact, Cooper and Slim (who each play 25-30 mins a game) are 30% shooters from the floor which means you can essentially sag/help off of them. If they aren't hitting open shots, it could be a long night. UConn students will hopefully show up en masse since they can get in free. Will that play a role? [/QUOTE]
