Message: [QUOTE="meyers7, post: 3369227, member: 343"] [ ] Look all you people (Yes I said you people) complaining about UCONN's defense. The defense was fine. Nothing super spectacular, but fine. DePaul shot their normal 34% from the 3pt line. Nothing extravagant there. UCONN DID hold them to only 38% overall. 6% below their average. They also held them 14 pts below their avg in points. Hello McFly, the DEFENSE was not the problem. (problem being "only" winning by 10) Turnovers, people, turnovers. 21 vs 7. There's the difference in a 10 pt win vs a 20 pt win. And 5 (iirc) turnovers were from charging calls. Which is just UCONN being aggressive for the most part. Cut back down to our normal 14, and there's 8-10 points for ya. ND had the same problem against DePaul, too many TO's. If you want (need) to whine and complain, do it about TO's not defense. Remember, this year is not gonna be pretty. It's gonna be gritty. Geno said so. Get used to it. We were playing a ranked team. We're not just gonna walk over ranked teams this year. Some of you people (yes you people again) have been complaining about blowouts for years. Well, here we are. Be careful what you wish for. There are about 8-10 teams this year with a shot at the FF and possibly a NC, UCONN is one of them. That's not a bad thing. Relax and enjoy. And those of you longing for Bent. This was not a game for her. She does not do well in chaotic situations. They have enough trouble getting her to play within herself in a normal game. Doing it when the game is at hyper speed isn't gonna work. She can play in a lot of games, but this kind of game is just not gonna work for her. It's ok, she'll do fine in other games. [/QUOTE]
