FINAL THOUGHTS ON INDIANA
This was a game UConn should have won. Jim Calhoun praised the fans afterward, as he should have since the Civic Center's atmosphere was electric once the Huskies got back from a 14-point deficit.
Needing a victory, being at home should have made the difference.
The big stat to jump out at me is free throw shooting. UConn continued to struggle, while Indiana made every one after halftime and only missed on in the game.
Calhoun talked about little things after losing at Pitt and free throws are a prime example.

It's understandable why, with this young team, Calhoun opted for an easy preconference schedule for purposes of player confidence-building. What's hard to fathom is why he then didn't use those games to experiment with different line-ups and roles. For example, It seems that Saturday's lineup with Wiggins at the point may well work, but you'd think that this was something that could have been tried in preconference games, especially since most were awfully easy opponents. They may have found a solution but it gets late early around here when the conference games arrive.
