Message: [QUOTE="Verne, post: 4513413, member: 11999"] I don't understand how this can be the take away. What adjustment was made? We pressed them? Cool we should be doing that every game. We need to speed teams up. We played a 1-3-1 half court? Xavier shot the ball better in the 2nd half. Does he get credit for all of Hawkins and Newtons points? What about when we cut it to 1 and he subbed 3 guys out only to watch Xavier go up 11 almost instantly. It's a hard sell also when in the waning moments of the game you ice your best player coming off a screen wide open by calling a time out with 20 seconds left and you don't get a quality look up after that. Give the credit to the players. They made shots and played well in the 2nd half. We cannot act like playing a 1-3-1 is a good defense for this team or we somehow should let the coaching off the hook for the players efforts in the 2nd half. It's not good enough if uconn is a blue blood college basketball program. [/QUOTE]
