Calhoun on Louisville

"I watched the game against DePaul (a 59-50 Louisville win) and they shot 21 threes in the first half," UConn coach Jim Calhoun said. "In the second half, I just thought they were really, really good. They pressed, which we'll have to be ready for. And then they played mostly zone, so we'll have to prepare to play against zone and we have to break pressure and traps out of the zone. It'll be a lot different than the Indiana game.

First, we've got to continue to run the ball, that will eliminate (scoring) droughts," the coach said. "And we have to continue to rebound like we did Saturday. And we have to shore up our defense - Indiana made their first five threes and you can't let a team do that, especially when they are at home (Louisville). It really gets the crowd into it.

For them and us and a couple of other teams in the league, these games become more and more important," Calhoun said. "They become close to critical. Maybe you'll win six in a row at the end, and that's just fine, but you don't want that margin of error be so finite that you have to win games. I don't think we have to win this game, but it's becoming more and more important. We're down to 12 games to go."
