Message: [QUOTE="caw, post: 4457829, member: 563"] Right now Alabama has the 21st best offense on Kenpom. They put up less than 70 against UConn. Nova and X are the only teams UConn plays with a higher ranked offense. I wouldn't expect many teams left on the slate to put up 70 on this team. UConn's defense is really good. Iowa State has the best defense UConn has played at #13, still couldn't hold UConn under 70. Bama at #17, OSU at #26. I wouldn't predict many teams to put up over 65 against UConn. They would have to get super hot. This team plays stifling defense. For all the complaining about Diarra, Newton and Alleyne. They usually all play very solid defense. Kenpom should actually only move UConn's numbers up as the season progresses, because last year's numbers are slowly going away. [/QUOTE]
