Love:
In your face man to man defense. So glad they have lost most any zone they played so much last year. UConn bball is in your face man to man defense.
How fast they get the ball down the court and into offense - whether it's running for a break or just getting it down the floor after a made basket, just so much better than walking up the floor and waiting for the defense to set up.
Aggressiveness of the bigs down low. Not always effective yet, but so much different than never using bigs. No passing around the perimeter waiting for a guard to jack a hero ball late in the shot clock.
Intense rebounding on both sides. How many more offensive rebounds have we seen this year vs the last couple years.
Beating teams we are supposed to beat handily without the game ever being in question.
90+ points against bad teams.
Having a team that is energized and excited to play. I've watched more of the games this year already than the last two years combined.
Hate:
Losing guys on switches for wide open threes.
Over penetration that leads to turnovers and easy baskets.
Defense that loses focus and allows easy baskets or leads to fouls from the bigs trying to erase mistakes.
Missing free throws.
