Where is our weakness?

[Matrim55]

Our weaknesses, ranked:

5. Small teams that spread the floor can neutralize our bigs
4. Only one guy who can put his head down and just get us a bucket
3. Bad FT shooting
2. Inconsistent 3-point shooting
1. Only one guy (Cole) who consistently runs the offense and manufactures good looks

If we lose this month, it'll be because somebody took Cole out of the game and nobody else was there to start the offense and run the show, and it'll all devolve into a bunch of contested Bouk isos.

EDIT: I should add that this is exactly what happened to us in 1996 when Mississippi St. took Doron out of the game and Ricky was hurt. It's not a coincidence that the best UConn teams of all-time have all had two true PGs.

And we've completely fallen apart in the possessions following Cole's injury. Dammit.

Guard play, specifically PG play. This isn't your typical UCONN team loaded with lightning quick guards.

As I said last Sunday -- see #1 and #3

1- We are drought prone. We often go four or five minutes without a hoop.
2- We are foul prone. Which means...
2a- We could lose a vital player at any time.
2b- A large disparity in points at the stripe.
3- With the exception of the first DePaul game we have not shown the ability to comeback late in games.
