Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 124089, member: 204"] Against UConn in the second half the defense just plain stunk. The SU offense was forced to score on every possession and it almost did - the Nassib INT at the end was the game. Yes, if the offense had had been better it might have been an easier game. But the fact is that the offense was good enough to win that game. The defense wasn't. It was terrible. The insistence on this board of focusing on the SU offense - something that has been going on since the days of Troy Nunes - is fascinating to me. Under DeLeone, by the end, the offense was not great but was productive. In those last few years it was the defense that was the problem. Remember how bad it was in 2002? And yet all the venom on the board and elsewhere was spewed toward the offense. Never understood it. [/QUOTE]
