Message: [QUOTE="Twolf, post: 4108556, member: 8437"] Good points about the game, lots of things to learn from this contest: USF is the first team that had a game plan & the players to keep UConn from doing a lot of things they like to do & make them uncomfortable on the offensive end. USF sets a ton of staggered screens for their guards, who are not only good shooters, but also very crafty & can make plays for themselves and their teammates. I would think GA would have to be concerned with the offensive production of his bigs. USF‘s defensive game plan was not going to allow a lot of inside scoring, but there are going to be games that UConn will need more from them. We saw a lot of 4 around 1 with the game in doubt, which was good on the offensive end, but was a negative on the other end, especially on the boards. No team in the country will have the weapons on the perimeter that this team does, but it’s hard to consistently beat good teams from the outside in. Tomorrow’s game, no matter the opponent, is going to be against big and long. The perimeter players will have to be great to win, and I’m anxious to see how UConn defends that size, and what lineup GA goes with. I think the bench will be shorter tomorrow, but all those that play will need to make a positive impact. JMO [/QUOTE]
