Weakest Gonzaga team since 2016, and will still win 25+ games. Terrible conference.
UConn vs. Gonzaga tonight at 10. Who you got?

I don't particularly like Hurley's personality but he got this part right.

After losing to New Mexico State in the NCAA tourney a few years ago, Dan Hurley changed his entire approach. Instead of going with toughness and defense, he decided to prioritize shooting. UConn 7-of-9 from 3 tonight against Gonzaga. "We've got shooters all over the place," Hurley said.

25 wouldn't be forced. Gotta have less possessions with long 2's and value what you're good at, which is shooting 3's. And with 4 out, if teams are pressing us outside the perimeter, there will be backdoor cuts to the basket. I'm good with open 3's, and layups. I don't need to see anymore long 2's with 20 seconds left on the shot clock. You can get that shot anytime.
UCONN only scored 76 points and took just 17 threes. Why is everyone slobbering over wanting that offense? UK did that last week and got crushed by a ton of people on here
It's that "modern offense" thingy. Supposedly both UConn and Gonzaga play it. Doesn't matter if a team scores only 50. As long as they are playing "modern offense" in the eyes of the hater.
2 years ago that team was pretty good, played like one of the best 2-3 teams in the country the middle 1/3 of the season until injuries derailed them. Still no excuse for our worst tournament loss ever (arguably our worst loss ever). But had Tyty not been injured (which I think led to Grady overuse and injury) we may have also finished with a good outcome.
Right on with last year where they shot 42%(42% this year so far) of their shots from 3.

Usually the complaint is about the number of Cal haters, Dozens of threads saying the same thing over and over. That kind of thing.
Yeah , there are a ton more Cal haters than Cal leg humpers . And rightfully so .
Missing almost all your 3s and not passing for better shots might shake the faith the coach has in his players,
UK scored 72 points at home, and lost to UNC Wilmington. Uconn scored 76 at a neutral site, and beat Gonzaga by 13. Surely to God you see the difference.
By being modern, it means shooting zero long 2's unless it's at the end of the shot clock, and stay away from feeding the post. Run 4 out, and have 40+% of your shots from 3, especially since we shoot the basketball so well. The rest should be at the basket, or floaters, which we also seem to shoot well. That is my ideal offense. And run when you can.
