When was the last time this team took a charge?

How many times do teams go right down the lane and we never step in and take a charge?

Agreed along with the fact we "let" them go down the lane too much without contesting them HARD once in a while...........

If Fab Melo can draw a charge from Boatright, then I gotta believe someone on UConn can do it. I'd love to see someone try, at least.

we don't try to take charges, we don't flop, we try to defend the shot

having said that, there are a lot of times when we give up uncontested bunnies

Spot on! There were a number of times our bigs could have stepped right in the middle just outside that little arc and drew a charge or two. I have no idea why they don't do it. Coming from the side to block a shot often doesn't turn out well. It's quite simple. When a team realizes they can roar toward the hoop w/out worrying about drawing a charge, the simply have on reservations to flip on the afterburner and fly at the basket.

With that said, that was not the biggest problem with tonight's game.
