Message: [QUOTE="MuchoDogYears, post: 4574630, member: 5395"] NCAA tournament teams that have a uniqueness to them make deep runs. It can be a special player (a Patrick Ewing swatting everything) or a unique style of play (Arkansas full court press under Richardson). Either way, the opposing team has never seen or experienced playing against that talent, or style, or height, or speed, or whatever. In a pressure packed one and done game that uniqueness becomes a huge advantage. Sanogo, Hawkins, Karaban , Newton, the bench…good players all, but none unique. But DC and AJax are both unique. Most teams in the tourney won’t have experienced playing against a 7’2” skilled center like DC or an athletic freak like AJax. So I agree with BusinessLawyer. DC, along with AJax, are what UConn brings to the table that no other team we play will have experienced dealing with before. The rest of the team must do their part for UConn to win. But DC and AJ are the “secret sauce”. [/QUOTE]
