re: Keys to beating Uconn?

They’re college kids and they’ll be pumped full of adrenaline. If they get tired it’s because we’re running them ragged, not because their flight was delayed.

UCONN is the favorite for a reason, but this air of invincibility is a farce. We’ve got 3 or 4 guys that can shoot the fricking daylights out when they’re on. I don’t care how good you are, if a team is dropping 3s on your head every possession it’s human nature to force the issue. The made three pointer in basketball is a lot like a team just running it 6 yards at a time in football. It’s demoralizing. I have no concerns about our guys being intimated. I have no delusions we’re going to play lockdown defense. It’s going to come down to shot making. So far in the tournament we’ve been pretty good at it. Over the course of the season we’ve had cold nights. We can’t afford a cold night. We need Mark, Rylan, Wrightsell to shoot their average and we need Walters, Estrada, Stevenson and especially Nelson to shoot over their average. This ain’t the ‘97 bulls, it’s a team of kids with multiple double digit losses. Blitz Bama Blitz.
