Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 2669993, member: 2117"] I think the reason why there weren’t transition buckets is Notre Dame didn’t settle for perimeter shots. Perimeter shots lead to long rebounds and easy outlet layups (see St. Francis first half). In the first meeting, ND settled for deep shots the entire 4th quarter, that’s why they lost momentum. If they didn’t, they were on pace to score 80 in regulation. This time, they didn’t settle and got 79. UCONN’s downfall has usually been against teams with outstanding guards who can shoot from deep and beat you off the dribble. They disrupt the defense and create opportunities for others. Young and Arike were those guards last night. [/QUOTE]
