Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 189857, member: 485"] There are lots of things to like about this team -- 3 point shooting isn't one of them (despite the success against UConn). Rebounding isn't one of them -- we can hold our own, but aren't dominating. Realistically, the Big East isn't loaded this year -- something we need to keep in mind when assessing how we stand. The key factors are balance, defense, and transition points. Getting scoring from 5 or 6 guys is something we take for granted -- a lot of teams don't have that. Teams have to respect Melo as an offensive threat -- last night we were leaving Louisville's center unguarded when he moved to the foul line. We challenge shots, we trap, we usually prevent the dribble drive. Our sophs are still getting better -- really likely that Melo's best game is yet to come. [/QUOTE]
