Great stuff as per usual General. Aside from the individual performances and our injury issues, one other thing stuck out to me in this game and that was I really felt we let a team dictate the game and how we played for the first time this year.

In every other game we essentially had the game playing out how we prefer, using our size and length to beat teams up on the boards in a blue collar kind of game. This also generated a lot of closer final scores but essentially we we're winning how we want to win. Even vs Kansas this was the same as we forced them to beat us from deep, which they did so and very efficiently.

Last night, the more physical and flat out awful basketball UConn brought to the game ended up being how both teams played. You could call it playing down to the competition, but it was more our guys just getting pulled into an undisciplined crappy basketball game vs forcing UConm to play how we wanted them to. I thought this had a lot to do with the game and how it played out. Pair that with there never being a sense UConn could win it, even though they kept in range and it just was such a bad game to watch overall.
