It’s so obvious it’s smacking us in the face.

Biggest complaint after Xavier game was Al and CV taking too many shots. The Boneyard creates the narrative that those two players are selfish and that cost UConn the game.

Hurley indicated the coaches had focused the team’s attention on defense.  People recognize we’re one of the better defending teams in the country but the recognition is minimal compared to the criticism of the weaknesses

Hurley declares they will begin to work on the offense but the Boneyard criticizes the shot selection by the guards in the Indiana game sticking to the narrative they take too many shots until someone pointed out they reduced their totals and the problem had more to do with turnovers.

Second game in a row with a large number of turnovers and no one has suggested that the increase in both games  might be the result of practices designed for the guards to take less shots and create more.   The players are working hard to implement that in a real games but becoming decent at something takes time and usually can’t be accomplished without mistakes.

The coaches are trying to fix the problem.  We struggle with accepting improvement takes time.
