UConn has not been good on defense all year regardless of who is playing.  They have won games on offense.  The offense has really only looked good when McNeeley is on the court.  One of the few exceptions was the lineup for the last 12 minutes of Providence game.  I think they found something with that 3 guard lineup featuring Mahaney, Diarra, Ball and Reed at center, and I hope we see more of that in upcoming games.

The problem with Ross and Stewart, is they need to be able to hit the 3 pointer or be able to drive to hoop and score, and they cannot do either at a high enough FG percentage.  Stewart has had 2 games where he shot well, and he was effective, but he is  at 28% 3Pfg for year.  Ross at 20%.  That just doesn’t cut it and it’s as simple as that.  Mahaney is at 37% from 3, and has shown he can drive to hoop and score.
I think the team still needs to give Ross, Stewart minutes as they really need one of them to break out, and that will only happen if they play, but when the game is on the line I would put Mahaney in.
