We were trash in Maui. Nobody could stay in front of their man (yes, even Diarra), Samson was in foul trouble 2 blinks after tipoff, our off ball defensive rotations were horrible (like, among the worst I’ve ever seen from a UConn team), we had very few people that could put the ball on the floor and make plays, and we had a horrible whistle

Now..
[LIST=1]
[*]Man to man defense: not perfect but MUCH better. Big shoutout to Solo for making huge defensive improvements 
[*]Samson foul trouble: either not fouling out, or doing great things before getting in foul trouble 
[*]Defensive rotations: also not perfect but much better and will keep improving 
[*]Playmakers: Diarra and Liam have taken this role very well
[*]Horrible whistle: who would have thought we would do better if we don’t get outshot 2:1 on FTs?
[/LIST]
Best part is that #1 and #3 are still very easily improvable with time/coaching, and #4 can improve even more if Liam keeps developing
