Not that we didn't think this was possible before the season, but this Uconn team is proving they have alot of answers, especially on offense. So much depth and so many options DH has been able to go too. And all this without Samson Johnson who would have been a perfect match-up defensively for Bama's long and athletic ( but overpowered by Uconn) front line.Newton had 8 assists to 1 TO despite being physically abused most of the night.....
I seriously doubt UConn will see another team as big and athletic and as abusive as this one was the rest of this season. But UConn not only passed the test, they aced it.
Newton plays downhill and is not afraid of contact going to the rim, and it kind of shows that the "hot potato handoff" was more because of the personnel they had, than the offense they were running. They had guys afraid of contact and afraid of making mistakes. Newton is not afraid.One key on O is how this team, unlike the last few years, never gets stuck out on the perimeter playing "hot potato hand off". Newton and Co. (with all the bigger the guards) constantly control real estate towards the hoop, anytime they want, forcing the D out of position.
Last night UConn stood up to bullyball. Newton stood up to it, AJ stood up to it, Sanogo stood up to it, Karaban stood up to it and Clingan MORE than stood up to it.
