Film Room: UConn missing a big opportunity with frontcourt usage in Europe

UConn ended its third game in Europe after three quarters — and it wasn’t hard to see why from the film. Following a relatively competitive first quarter, the Italian All-Stars either got tired, bored or both and put up a pathetic effort the rest of the way.

Eventually, UConn’s energy dropped too and the game devolved into little more than a glorified pick-up contest. At that point, the Huskies weren’t gaining anything and it wasn’t worth risking injury.
