Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3853466, member: 833"] UConn is better with Bouk. Duh. Martin has been tremendous. He has saved UConn's season. UConn should play at least 10 minutes a game with 2 of the bigs on the court together. UConn is a better team when it is a bigger team, especially on defense. I think Carlton, Whaley and Sanogo have all played well and deserve significant minutes. UConn beat PC by 10 on the boards, which is almost a guaranteed victory. Adams 2 DNPs in a row obviously raise the question of why he was playing so many minutes earlier in the season. Cole is a really good shooter off the catch. He is not as good a shooter off the dribble and he has a tough time finishing at the hoop because he isn't that quick and he is short. 13 shots is too many for Cole. He needs to run the offense, not look to score himself unless it is off the catch. Two good games in a row. [B]Area of Improvement:[/B] Does Hurley realize that every team opens their offense against us with a center screen so Whaley/Carlton/Sanogo will do that ridiculous hard hedge 10 feet above the 3 point line? Our weakside guard rarely rotates to the middle, so the middle is always wide open for the screener on that play. Then Whaley/Carlton have to sprint back, and sooner or later they will pick up a cheap foul. I have an idea, why not just let Cole run under the screen? If PC's point guard wants to take a 24 foot pullup 3, let him. Or, alternatively, play the screen any way other than what UConn is doing. The hard hedge doesn't work and other coaches are taking advantage of it. [/QUOTE]
