Now I'm ready for the NBA playoffs.

Are UConn fans saying Kevin Ollie won with Calhoun's players?

I bet Calhoun is saying that

I know we have been talking about the Harrisons not being able to handle UConn and the pressure D. The Harrisons had 7 turnovers combined and Napier and Boatwright had 7 turnovers combined.

It's not about the turnovers, they couldn't get any penetration or get inside of the defense

Not read the entire thread but my take -

 

1. Free throws

 

2. Inability to run a SET on the offensive end to exploit mis-matches

 

3. Free throws

 

4. Inability to run a SET on the offensive end to exploit mis-matches

Kys advantage should have been on the glass. Didn't happen

[LOOGY]

Also it seemed they just didn't have that same energy as earlier games. Maybe playing all those close games finally caught up to them

I thought Dakari missed some really easy opportunities early, then disappeared.

Thats all on Andrew IMO. Andrew Played with his back to the defender and basket almost the whole game, hard to get it down low when you can't see him

That's what early turnovers and ball pressure will do for you.

Saw where Napier had a comment saying that he thought the UK players looked tired and they took advantage of it.

Not all on Harrison in my opinion. Johnson spends much of his time out around the top of the key trying to set picks, and he is not a good pick and roll type of player at this time. Lee would have been more effective in the pick and roll, but he kept getting lost on the defensive end while he was in the game.

You're forgetting: NOT getting to loose balls.

I think this is the game that we missed WCS more than any. His quickness on D and O would have helped a lot along with his shot blocking presence in general.
