Message: [QUOTE="Towney007, post: 2432918, member: 5832"] Yeah I mean - this was a big reason for Sok many reasons. My takeaways: - This is a LEGIT defensive team. Really legit. Especially the perimeter defense. Officiating didn’t help but I’d like to see us not have to rack up so many fouls with our bigs. - Ollie kinda went with what was working but I’d agee - we’re gonna have to diversify the offense and bit more. Better teams will adjust and we just don’t have the talent to hack. Gonna have to play a step ahead tactically. - We really lack a shooter. It’s the one glaring flaw on this team so far. I feel like even one even mostly good shooter would make this a slam dunk top 25 team. Again though it’s early. We’ll see who emerges. - Finishing around the rim would be nice. Totally not going the glass half empty route here, but they hit half of their layups and this is a 14/15 point snoozer. - The energy/toughness of this team is just staggering compared to last years. Everyone’s a noisy, kind of flawed player who will find a way to do something really big for you every game. You’ll just win a lot of games with those kinds of guys. - 1st half was the best half of UConn basketball I’ve seen since 2014. Second half not so much but I’m glad they got punched in the mouth by a good team and responded. - Very eager to see how competitive they are with Michigan State. That’ll be a great gage of how good they really are right now. Lots more to add, but so excited and positive about this group. They’ll beat the teams they should and compete against the heavyweights and for a reset year that’s all you can ask. [/QUOTE]
