Well, the Final Four starts this Saturday. Of course, we will be playing UCONN in the semifinals. UCONN is the college basketball equivalent of Alabama in football. UCONN is the defending National Champion and they have been awesome in the Tourney. They have blown out everyone & dominated them (like Bama football against LSU 2011 & Notre Dame 2012.
Here's what I think Tide has to do to beat UCONN:
1) hit 13-14 3 pointers with a high percentage, like 13/28 (46%)
2) shoot over 50-55% for the game
3) rebound, especially offensive rebounds-need to get at least 10 offensive boards and at least 38-40 boards
4) limit turnovers to 12 or less
5) play great defense-this means play tough around the basket, interfere with passing lanes, and Griffin &
Stevenson, our 2 best defenders, have to outstanding
6) Wrightsell will be back in the line-up Saturday, that's a huge plus
7) Simply put, Sears, Griffin, Nelson, & Pringle need to have a solid game.
Limit our team fouls and hope Pringle stays out of foul trouble
9) If we do all these things we might beat UCONN, they are that good.
