Yes. There MIGHT have been an opponent where the answer
is to calm your team down. But UConn is absolutely NOT that opponent. Scheyer obviously knows his team much better than I do, but he pushed the wrong button for the entire second half. And then the Devils get an F- for not just getting fouled in the end game situation.
The Cayden Boozer pass struck a nerve for me in particular. Because I've watched my daughter's feeder and now HS basketball team panic and throw roughly a billion fade away passes like that one against the press. To paraphrase George Carlin and Top Gun, calm down, have some dip, hit the brakes, and they'll fly right by. But the correct answer was catch the ball, turtle unless you and your teammate are wiiiiiiiiiiiide open (the first two passes were fine), and get hacked.
Complete thread:
- OT: Wow UConn. What a comeback. Bye Duke.
