A very nice win.
Team notes
UConn won each half - I believe that this demonstrates focus and consistency.
Shooting Defense - 49.1% allowed including almost 43% from three - 1st clunker of the season
- I did like the team's FT defense
Out Rebounded (again) but by a smaller margin
Huskies won the TO game causing 19 and giving 11 - very acceptable
4 Blocks - wonder when teams will smarten up about bringing that weak crap inside
Scoring - Shot 47% but only 16.7% from outside - They don't always fall but 15 misses from 3 is poor
24-30 from the Line -- That's where the game was won - 80% shows great focus and execution
3-18 from deep - ouch - tight rims and or bad shot selection, really doesn't matter - can't chuck that many blanks up from the cheap seats...
11 assists on 25 buckets - an average to adequate performance that looks better when comparing TO's to A's (1-1 is very acceptable)
8 players with 9 or more minutes (two players shared the remaining 8 mins) - It appears that the rotation was altered somewhat for the 1st time this season and from the box score - it looks like foul trouble was the cause (classic understatement)
Player Notes:
TO - 9 minutes equals foul trouble (did manage 2 blocks - teams are going to have to plan around him)
SN and RB were leading scorers again - with RB adding 7 boards (better than 25% of team total)
DD - Put up a fairly solid line - 4 fouls likely hampered his final totals
Wolf- Player of the game - almost perfect from the floor - 6 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals and a block (the bum missed his FT, though) - Great game for him - hopefully the first of many.
Omar - 1 for 6 shooting (missed his only 3 threes) - I'm of the opinion that he will have a few more up and down games before he develops his groove. (That's why they play the early season schedule, right? - gotta let the younger players find their sea legs)
RJE - while not as impressive as his earlier lines, - I find myself becoming a huge fan. - Energy doesn't show in the box score - so his value is understated by just reviewing the Box Score.
Giffey - a solid if unremarkable, line score -
Just a note - If keeping to a simple review of the box score, you can't see how KO did - but - so far he is 0-3 on Technical Fouls per game - Will wait to see when (not if) he drops this classic Calhoun move on the refs / opponent.
