When the other team is really clicking on threes , their confidence is growing, embolding them to shoot from downtown, why do we stop defending the at the three point line .  Go all the way out to the player. If he drives around you , someone else will be there to help out .  It kills me to see that we guard the three applying the presumption the shooter won’t make it if he is more than a foot behind the line .  Play stifling defense and get out there.  Don’t let their player sit out there, size up the basket and take the shot without a hand in his  face. That happened numerous times in the second half, especially the last two threes UConn hit after Hughes hit his three.  Yes UConn won because they hit their threes.  Yes.  Syracuse lost because they failed to get all the way out  on the shooter for about 75 percent of the threes, despite having the opportunity to so.    I understand there were other reasons why we lost.  We can’t plug all the holes in the dike at one time.   I believe this was the easiest hole to plug to give us the win tonight.
