Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 2135799, member: 2117"] Really solid post. It has been a while since UCONN showed any vulnerability. UCONN has not done well executing in their extremely close games over the last ten or so years. Almost all of the Notre Dame losses from 2011-2013 came down to Notre Dame playing composed and aggressive while the Huskies looked like deer in the headlights. Same thing happened against Stanford and again last night. I didn't see the Tulane game, but the management down the stretch of the FSU game was very mediocre and almost led to a loss. I think most of this is due to not encountering these types of scenarios so it's easier to get frazzled but poor execution and being outplayed down the stretch has been a pattern with Geno's squads in tight games. That said, knowing how good of a coach Geno is and the talent assembled on next year's roster, I don't see them being a tight late game scenario until at least 2018-19 or possibly 2019-20. [/QUOTE]
