Message: [QUOTE="OldSchooler, post: 5224611, member: 11804"] It takes more than just defense. UConn can -- and does -- have one of the scariest and most efficient defenses in WCBB, but that's only half the story. Good defense must transition to scoring. Sure, we can have cold-shooting stretches, but eventually we break out of it. But sloppy TOs and blown chippies, following a high-energy defensive sequence, are opportunities that you don't get back. Have to transition that smothering defense into disciplined offense. When an exhausting defensive effort does not yield results at the other end, that only encourages the opponent that it can hang in and win, and all that hard work goes for naught. [/QUOTE]
