Wasn't PC supposed to be a bad defensive team?

[HooperScooper]

The Huskies scored 59 points against PC's defense. PC has given up less than 70 points in only 1 of their last 8 games. And in that game the other team only scored 43. The offense is just so hard to watch. Is Bouknight the answer to all that ails them? Other guys need to step up and be better than this. Very frustrating.

We didn’t make a 3 pointer the whole 2nd half. 0/10

Check out Polleys stats. Wide open three pointers including one to tie with a couple min left. So many misses. If one of the top scorers in the country isn’t playing for UConn, Polley HAS to hit shots.

They’re bad on defense, we’re exponentially worse on offense...

Well we're a horrid offensive team w/o Bouk so it doesn't matter. We can't score against cardboard cutouts.

2-12 and 1-8 from three. 2 rebounds and nothing else. If he's going to shoot like this he's basically unplayable. To use a Hurley word.

We didn’t rebound. Also with about 1 minute left FTs were 21-9 PC

 

[Chin Diesel]

15-44 from the field for the starting 5.

Correct Hooper. So then that’d be Bouk, Akok and Polley not playing. Springs isn’t ready so the roster all of a sudden looks limited offensively

It’s really starting to feel like our team has a culture of practicing and playing hard but much less focused on execution. Sometimes practices have to be boring with a lot of stops and whistles and getting things done right instead of just going balls to the wall.

Yeah. We missed layups and 3s. Those are good shots. We just missed them all. The layups is a pattern, the 3s is mostly a one game terrible aberration.

I generally dislike posts like this, but word-for-word, this has the ring of truth.

The missed 3 that would have tied the game at 58 was a killer.

Seems like we are the cure for whatever ails a team.

Interesting observation. Seems like it extends to games too Since stopping the game with a TO before your opponent goes up 18 isn’t allowed either
