Message: [QUOTE="ConwayGmck, post: 4119291, member: 10442"] “We outscored them by 18 over a 10-minute stretch,” Auriemma said. “That’s us. We did that. And then defensively, they couldn’t get anything they wanted in the first half. So that’s us, too. And then they come out in the second half and punched us pretty hard and we didn’t respond that fourth quarter. So what are the takeaways? We’re really, really good, and we’re really, really bad. So if this was February I’d be (worried). But it’s November and we’ve got a long time to figure some of the things out, how to stay that team that outscores them by 18 and add to that and how to eliminate the team that didn’t respond in the fourth quarter.” [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]“We outscored them by 18 over a 10-minute stretch,” Auriemma said. “That’s us. We did that."[/COLOR] OK?? So, I don't know the context that the question was put in, to elicit Auriemma's response in the fashion it was given. But he's talking about that 20-2 scoring run in the 1st quarter that put them up 20-8. South Carolina scored 6 to open the game, and then scored 6 more to end the quarter, with a 2-pointer in the middle. CT leads 20-14. South Carolina outscored CT 23-5 over the final 12 minutes of the game, after CT led 52-50. Soooo......yeah.... [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]"And then defensively, they couldn’t get anything they wanted in the first half. So that’s us, too."[/COLOR] OK now wait a minute. South Carolina shot from the field in the 1st half 15-33 (.455), with 2-9 from the 3-pt. line. CT shot 14-29 (.483), with 2-4 from behind the arc. CT shot the (slightly) better %, but [B][I]SC out-scored CT from the field just the same, 32-30 for the first half[/I][/B]. CT was 6-6 from the charity stripe, to SC's 1-3. THAT's where CT was able to lead SC by 3 pts at the half. It WAS NOT by any damned defense. Also, this article opens with the premise that CT pushed ahead "for a lead it held [B][I]for the bulk of what become a 73-57 loss[/I][/B]" CT held the lead for 18:40 of the game. SC held the lead for 18:26. 14 seconds. That's some bulk, there........ LMAO :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
