Perimeter Defense MUST Be Better

ND really only gets offense from a couple players, all guards. They need to overplay at the 3 point line and make their guards put the ball on the floor and shoot mid range jumpers on the move or challenge our shot blockers. Allowing them open jump shots is horrendous.

That was how I felt during the first half, ND 5 out of 10 beyond the arc while UConn's own 3 pointer and FT were bad, MoJo had couple of bad decisions of cutting in the lane that resulted transitions and quick baskets for ND. But UConn's post players made it up with their dominance on the board. It is strange that UConn's bread and butter, 3pnt sharpshooting and FT did not shine in this game but board was at its best, even much better than previous rounds against lesser teams. Muffet must be scratching her head all night after the game!
