Message: [QUOTE="REB1094, post: 4424543, member: 12147"] Haven’t seen a thread for general discussion about the game yet, so feel free to drop your pros/cons/conclusions from yesterdays game here 3 Pros: 1. Sanogo is a monster, and if he can consistently hit threes then UConn will win games in March 2. It might just be because he’s playing garbage competition, but Clingan is dominating so far. Missed a monster putback and monster alley oop but he’s more athletic than expected. 3. Newton can get buckets. It almost feels like a confidence issue with him. He’s not really looking to score. Wonder why. 3 Cons: 1. Foul shooting is atrocious. We left 12 points at the line, against better opponents that can be the difference between winning and losing. 2. Second game in a row Newton is getting hunted on defense. He’s giving good effort, but teams are obviously looking to have him be the one guarding. 3. Joey Calcaterra’s shooting may not be worth playing him. He threw the ball into the stands twice just trying to get the ball to Sanogo in the post (AKA the core of our offense) Conclusion: Complete domination, with the exception of a few runs we let them go on when we got lazy, even though we immediately punched back and erased any gains they made. If RJ Cole missed a game last year, I’d think the offense would completely crater and fail. We were down 3 starters and still dominated. Not much to complain about here. [/QUOTE]
