    UConn Fan Checking In

    1) Whoever does guard him won't be doing so alone. UConn does a very good job of defending as a team, and their defensive rotations are on point the last few games. I think we'll start with either Napier or Boatright, but Kromah or Samuel will spending their playing time guarding Kane. Both...

    UConn Fan Checking In

    Rebounding is one of UConn's weaknesses; in the sense that they have solid team rebounding (Napier team's leading rebounder as a 6'1" PG), but if they face teams with people who can get rebounds out of their area, UConn struggles and can be beaten pretty badly on the boards. That being said...

    UConn Fan Checking In

    The reason I started my own thread was because I didn't want my thoughts to get buried either. In those long threads, sometimes posts get ignored, and I thought this was enough new content to warrant its own discussion. Though if it's easier to have it all in one thread, so be it.

    UConn Fan Checking In

    Hey guys, UConn fan checking in here. I've seen a few other UConn fans posting here, but I thought I'd give my quick scouting report on UConn here, and see if I can gain a better understanding of Iowa State with some good basketball chatter. I've kept track of Iowa State basketball for the...
