Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 3930884, member: 5787"] Kinda like how Houston plays now: Defensively, they are a rare team that make it hard for teams to take good shots and also cause turnovers to create transition offense. Usually strong defensive teams either [LIST=1] [*]Pester, press, cause turnovers but allow juicy open shot opportunities: St. John's, West Virginia come to mind [*]Pack it in and make it hard to take good shots, but bore the hell out of me: Syracuse, Virginia come to mind. [/LIST] Quick aside, but UConn is becoming that type of defensive team that I love. Offensively, they've never been a good shooting team, but they attack the rim and crash the offensive boards. Looking back, Keenan Adams, Jarrett Culver, Zhaire Smith, Davide Moretti were my favorite players during the Beard years. If he sticks around, I'm a big fan of Kevin McCullar too. What all these guys have in common are an or/and combo of passion, athleticism and versatility. [/QUOTE]
