Message: [QUOTE="Greathusky, post: 4113359, member: 527"] Proud to be a UConn fan today and especially jealous of folks who saw this game in person. This was an epic Quad 1 that will carry much weight in March. We do have a glaring weakness brought up by the announcers which was also evident last season. Our guards do not have the foot speed to keep up with quick guards like we saw today. The Auburn guards consistently drove and beat our men to the basket especially in the overtimes. We rely on our shot blocking ability to somewhat compensate but that strategy can lead to fouling and excessive over helping. Not sure that this is something the Carpenter can fix other than to play a zone which is not happening. That being said, the difference between last year and this year is that we have many more offensive weapons and can actually win a scoring fest. Not many UConn teams in the past had that ability.
