Message: [QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 4772448, member: 504"] Not to totally put down this poll, but I’d wager UConn’s % of one possession games lost when they lose the opening tip is meaningless. You can cherry pick the rare UConn close loss to see if they lost the opening tap. More important is the turnover and shooting % and defense during the course of the game. The opening tap rarely if ever means a thing to UConn and using a player who wouldn’t start on the chance, not the guarantee, they would win a tap and then might have to be on the floor for several possessions before being subbed out, is something no coach would do.
