A warning note to the staff and players, even though I am sure they know this: teams know how potent UConn's offense is and will do everything to disrupt and make UConn "play in the mud". Opponents will do even more grabbing, pulling of jerseys, holding, tripping, flopping (Steven Ashworth on Clingan's 2nd foul call), and complaining to officials than before and will kick Jonathan the 15th, anything they think they can to disrupt UConn. UConn can't let that frustrate them as things won't always be pretty and free flowing like a smooth Hawaiian stream of water.

As Slick Rick was asked when playing a strong defensive team in the 2nd round in the NCAAT about how Louisville's offense wasn't smooth flowing in the game, "you can't let that frustrate you. You as a team have to play better defense than those defensive teams that like to junk up the game (i.e. Providence)". I am paraphrasing, but that was almost exactly what he said and I concur.

Note to Basketball Gods: Get Karaban his 3 point shot back.
