Out Of Reach

Louisville 76 Uconn 69

You are what you are. This season is frustrating but you can’t fault these kids from trying. Dyson has come into his own, building his game off of threes and slicing to the hoop. When the offense flows off of him, than Uconn can hang with anyone but draughts occur when he misses a few shots and no one takes over. Uconn is a team growing, a few pieces have emerged but the surface of this team hasn’t been touched.

Uconn needs Stanley Robinson and Marcus Johnson to produce. They played 22 minutes and produced, 2 points, three rebounds. Louisville’s forwards scored 48 points to Uconn’s 18. They out muscled Uconn underneath and had several easy looks around the basket. All the blame does not fall onto the Forward’s shoulders; the guards had a hard time rotating and getting beat off screens, causing the big men to fall off their man and cover.

Uconn knows the only shot to get in is to win their tournament. They need to approach these next couple of games as preparation for the three game marathon. Their in, time to spread out the minutes and make sure that the team has enough gas to get their best effort come Big East Tournament time.
