Message: [QUOTE="and one, post: 4735850, member: 10475"] There are a couple of ways steals come about. One is just stripping the ball handler, using quick hands and feet. This is usually a one on one situation where the defender gets their hand in (without fouling!) to deflect the ball. The other is more of a team steal, where the defence is so tight that the other team makes a lot of bad passes that are picked off or players get caught in double or triple teams and gets the ball pulled out of their hands. For all the reasons we all know, UConn didn't have a stifling D last year. OK but not overwhelming. I suspect that the "team" steals suffered more last year than the one on one pickpocket steals.
