Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4757172, member: 26"] Totally agree T-man! Teams will want to try to run 29 seconds of offense and then try to get a shot off. On defense, pack it in if possible. If not, I would think teams would try zone to try to force outside shots. Given the great shooters we have, that probably won't work. Then maybe play overly physical defense and foul ALL the time - especially hitting players as they are moving thru the lane. If I were Geno I'd start working the officials NOW. The old "if you can't slow them down then beat them up" should not be allowed. Play a few games with 3 out of 5 starters fouling out in the first half and teams will stop that crap in a second. I absolutely detest the overly physical play teams try to spring on UCONN to slow them down when the other team is overmatched in every way. Every year the NCAA has refs taught points of emphasis to watch out for. With a team as talented as UCONN, they should be looking for overly physical play. [/QUOTE]
