Ct perimeter Defense is as good as ever! It's what they do best! They should be ready for Pepperdine,s 3s.
They are Fast, quick, athletic and they stay in front. If anyone gets by they should kick it out as the 'Huskies once again are leading the country in blocks...10+ and its not just Hasheem. The frontcourt is aggressive and are battling for scarce minutes. Calhoun has sooo much guard firepower that he has 3 in frequently.
This could get ugly!
Calhoun was very pissed off about the last 12 minutes of the St Mary's game. "THE DEFENSE" in particular as they, for the first time this year, took 10 minutes off after building a 29 point lead. I'll bet you see defensive intensity tonight and that will be trouble for Pepperdine. CT D has been holding teams to avg. 55 points and 33% shooting ..28%from 3
Pepperdine, led by sr. guards M Lea (19) and C Griffin 14 will Really have their hands full with fresh rotating defenders all night... most especially Jerome Dyson..their best
Advantages for CT:
1. size
2. speed
3. athleticism
4. home court (Hartford)
5. balanced offense
6. all aspects of defense
CT 92.....Pepperdine 64 .......... Then we'll see if CT can play with the big boys beginning Dec 30 at West Va.
