That’s because the style of play only works when teams are actually running sets. Pick n Roll offenses is all about catching the defense off guard. Well if the defense is playing for you to catch them off guard then you basically have so many open lanes it’s basically easy turnovers(+10/game turnover ratio before Feb/-14/game after til present. It literally was night and day but it’s also that coaches wasn’t planning on having to rely on zone sets because of the amount of offball screens this team sets every play
more like ppl and the media are way quicker to write off UConn as a program when their teams have a tough stretch going 6 of 8 or something while in brutal conference, but give the benefit of the doubt to the Dukes and Kansas's who can do the same or worse
Funny thing is their schedule - the way it worked out - kinda killed them mid season. They played well in most of their losses - the SJU they played like shit, the Seton Hall win Dan had covid and a one in a million rim shot banged off and they lost. It was one of those - when everything rains, it pours stretches. Once they pulled out of it it was easy street. They were by far the most impressive team all season at their best and take out January - it's not close. Advanced metrics bore it out too
IONA senior during this game, lifelong UCONN fan. I was in quite the conundrum during that first round. Iona could have beaten a lot of teams in that tournament.
They could have won a game or two. I didn't see them getting to the sweet 16 or anything like that but unfortunately for them, they were obviously paired with UConn
Sanogo, Hawkins, Clingan, and Jackson jump off the fucking screen as I re-visit this. Add in Newton, Calcaterra, Karaban, and Diarra? Lmaoooo No reason we went back-to-back. I wonder who stays.
It’s crazy how strong that team was last year in the second half and being able to just pull away and seal games. Won each game by double digits
Hawkins was so lethal… what a legend.
Go Connecticut! Love watching the UConn Huskies Play!
Absolute domination 🏀🐺
They were completely off the radar after having lost 6 of 8. Some programs just have it different in March

Yeah, Duke's been in the top 10 for almost this whole season with no quality wins.

Jesus, you give Hawk half an inch of space and it's butter...

Imagine this year’s version of the Huskies being better than the one that won the championship?

It's scary to think they have even more depth this year. Hoping for a good run🤞
