UConn also seemed out of sync, in part due to the defense, and it seemed like there were a lot of really strange low percentage passes by UConn, unusually bad decision-making. We also missed a lot of shots we typically make. But our defense was very good throughout, although Geno called Z out for some miscues on the defensive end. UConn players apparently didn`t much like the physical play and lack of calls, and Geno`s halftime "comments" were apparently focused on getting them to deal with it and play through it. Very bizarre coming out of the locker room with no time for any warmup shots at all. They should have let the fans take some shots. I was there, though, and I gotta say I was also frustrated by the Dee Kantner-led officiating crew. They are really good at calling the touch fouls that may be impeding the offensive player`s progress, and I am good with that. But wow, they missed some really blatant physical stuff from UCF out there, takedowns, shoves, etc. I don`t like whistle blowing contests either, but there has to be a happy medium. Despite all of that, UConn managed to put 80 points on the board and hold the opponent to 44. So, hard to be too critical. The silver lining is that this is good training for UConn for upcoming games. Pretty sure Texas on January 15 will be a physical slog. [/QUOTE]
