Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 4497181, member: 10"] Another post game Register article about whether the Huskies are better suited for out of conference games. [I]There is another thing to consider. UConn is clearly better-suited to playing out of conference, where the physical play found in the Big East is often negated by out-of-conference referees who'll call more fouls. "The way the game is played in the nonconference and the NCAA Tournament is much different than the way we play in league play," Hurley noted. "Games are a lot more physical (in the Big East). We're proving to be better suited for maybe those other types of games that are played a little bit differently. That makes me feel better about March." Perhaps so, but it's still January, and UConn has to start figuring things out. There are other issues. Jordan Hawkins has been in a shooting funk, 1-for-8 on Wednesday night and 37 percent from the floor over his last seven games. Part of that stems from the difference in officiating in the league from when Hawkins was more able to get free for open looks off screens in the non-conference. "He's being grabbed and held," Hurley said. "It's tough for him."[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nhregister.com/sports/uconn-mens-basketball/article/UConn-men-s-basketball-team-Big-East-17712748.php[/URL] [B][U]Alternate free link:[/U][/B] [HEADING=2][COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)][URL='https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nhregister.com%2Fsports%2Fuconn-mens-basketball%2Farticle%2FUConn-men-s-basketball-team-Big-East-17712748.php']Is UConn men's basketball team 'better suited' for games outside of physical Big East?[/URL][/COLOR][/HEADING] [/QUOTE]
