Perimeter Opportunities For No. 5 UConn

UConn arrived in Cincinnati Friday evening with three important players having done much recently to please coach Jim Calhoun , but also with strides to make offensively.

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT GUYS IN CINCINATTI!!!!!

What scares me about this year's team is the lack of a true "scorer" that gets the ball each time down the floor in a tie game with three minutes to play. The other night Reynolds had 40 for 'Nova, Harangody can get 30 at will, and even Cincy has Vaughan. Not that it should matter, but I'd bet there won't be one guy this year that puts up 30+ in a game for UConn this season.

Oh well, if eight guys can give 8-20 a night, rebound with a purpose and defend for 94 feet, maybe "that" star scorer is a moot point.

And I get to watch on MASN today, which is a good thing.

i'd have to argue that dyson is that person to take control of the game and score, last year it was AJ price but this year he has been sluggish at times. Also look at Adrien's consecutive numbers for games? He averages at least 10 rebounds 15 points a game, pretty solid to me
