Message: [QUOTE="ScottVib, post: 4246721, member: 694"] It was a terrible, frustrating performance. It's also worth noting that New Mexico State will also never shoot three-pointers that well again. They more than doubled their usual performance, which even after last night is 33%; but for one night they were a 65% team from behind the line, accounting for ~50% of their makes. It's your standard upset playbook, lower seed gets red hot from long range, higher seed plays a B or C level game. For large swaths of the game UConn was out-rebounded and content to allow New Mexico State to dictate the tempo. They made the run when they upped the speed of the game and forced a turnover prone team to make mistakes. UConn played poorly, was complacent and it still took a performance beyond anything that NMSU had been able to perform this year to win; that UConn let them be in that position and never felt like they were ready to take full control of the game was perhaps the most frustrating piece (probably the most frustrated I've felt since the San Diego upset in the tournament about a decade ago).
