I know beating them 3x is probably tougher, especially off the double bye, than any other team in the Big East Tourney. They are going to be hungry for wins and probably feel like they have some kind of destiny on their side with the 9 seed and opening with Depaul.
That being said, I really want to see how we defend them after they shredded us in the second half last game. UCONN with their size, length, and talent is the best practice we have for if we play UNC and Kentucky down the line. I'll be eager to see how we counter them getting the ball into the high post with players who can makes moves and Drummond inside who can finish because UNC will try this with Henson and Zeller and UK will try this with Terrence Jones and Anthony Davis.
UK and UNC dont know our defense like UCONN does so we'll see if they can attack it like UCONN, but playing them for a 3rd time is great practice.
Oh yea, and beating them 3x would be sweeeeeeettttttttt.
