Nova, UConn, Zona, FSU

10-12 FT is concerning. Do we help double him to deny him the ball? Then they shoot the 3 which they are due to make.

Have you seen Hurley double any center?

Jeter is the guy we need to neutralize in order to win. Realistically, that would be done by pressure on the ball throughout the shot clock and Cobb playing hard and foul trouble free.

“A split with nova/FSU seems realistic?” What?

 

[JB75]

I’d be happy as hell winning one of these next three. I hope I’m wrong, but I’ll be very very surprised if we win 2 of 3.

Not yet but Jim Calhoun did it all the time, remember us playing Shaquille? He’s a man to man coach but....If the guy starts torching us I don’t expect him to do nothing about it.

I was reading the Arizona blog about what to expect and they wrote “UConn’s biggest strength on offense has been rebounding...as it ranks 24th in the country in offensive rebounding percentage.” If that’s not one of the biggest surprises of this season i don’t know what is

It’s a product of Hurley’s coaching, which requires players to go all out when on the court. Under Hurley UConn should lead the country in this stat when we get better athletes and bigs.

I just don't think he will this game.

Besides this should be more of a running game than half court. Zona's low point total this year is in the 70s.
