I agree that there can be major defensive improvement.  I thought the defensive rotations were slow, especially in the 1st half, and some players got caught of out position.  This issue can be remedied simply by more practice and play, as I think the rotations will get better and faster as we move closer to the season (we forget that we don't typically get to see the scrimmages, so who knows how the defense looked the last 2 years at this time of the year).  In fact, you saw improvement in the 2nd half.  Certainly Clingan will be missed, and his presence down low and ability to alter and block shots cannot be overstated.  That's going to be an ongoing struggle all season, but you gotta hope the depth will take the legs out of opponents during the game.  Just keeping running fresh bodies out there and wear down opponents. You saw it last night, Rhody was gassed 2nd half and UConn just blew the game wide open.  Offensive is going to score and score a lot.  You gotta trust Hurley to get the defense better as the year progresses.
