While I'd have obviously liked for them them to win. I don't think it was a really, really, bad loss under the circumstances, nor on paper (Down two starters, in a hostile environment). WVU made some ridiculous fall away 3s, but I though that the defense was okay for the most part.

On the other hand the style of on court play on the offensive end was concerning. Cole shouldn't have to play 40 minutes for UConn to generate offense, and getting across the time line should not be an adventure in out of control dribbling vs. a soft press. The offense was in shambles and I feel a team needs set multiple screens to get guys free, when the opponent is playing so much into your back pocket.

Also (and I don't get it), the Quad-4iest of Quad-4 teams have at least one guy that can hit an open 22'-2" jump shot. UConn hasn't had a knockdown shooter since 2015 and the floor will not open up until teams respect that UConn can hit that shot. Someone needs to take the pressure off Cole. I'm not sure Hawkins is that guy yet, Jackson has no confidence, and Whaley has too much.
