This seemed to be a game where offensive trouble in some spots on the court (down low amongst the trees) seemed to cascade to everywhere else. The threes also missed until late in the game even when they were open. The mid-range shots (never an ideal choice under the best circumstances) were not just mid-range, they were difficult shots on top of it. Circus shots, even.
Add it all up, and it leads to the worst shooting percentage from a UConn team in a very long time.
To some extent, they can probably try to prepare a different offensive gameplan for the future in games where they're heavily overmatched on size. But even more important than that, they're simply going to need one or more players to step up, play beyond themselves, and start doing so early. UConn can't erase every early deficit caused by flat play. They'd erased a bunch before today, but this game shows the peril of counting on the comeback.
