The Quest For 70

[Brad Palmer]

Since the Big East season started, UConn has only scored 68 or more points once in 8 games (including today). It's getting so bad that teams don't even bother playing us zone anymore.

If I have to hear one more person say: "UConn's tough to watch..."

Time to hire an Offensive Coordinator! (Often wondered why bball teams don't do that.)

2 other points:

1) How much would it hurt to play Lamb and Napier 34-35 minutes each instead of 38-40? If we can't survive without either of them for a few more minutes, then we're in more trouble than we think. (It's not like either of them exerts much of an effort defensively.)

2) Has Napier ever actually passed the ball to any of the bigs that have set a pick and roll/ball screen for him? Why even have this as part of the offense? Maybe some Lamb/Napier "guard/guard ball screens" would work better.
