  1. Just to add some perspective to Danes and Coach Brown's performance, NBAdraftnet.com has 4 UCONN players in their top 22 predicted draft picks according to their 2006 NBA mock draft and has a fifth UCONN player at 34. You can say the 2006 UCONN team has the potential to have five future NBA starters.
  2. Having attended UAlbany when the Danes were Division 3 and Doc was the coach it is my opinion Will Brown ,with advice from Doc thoroughly outcoached Calhoun. I add Doc Sauers only because the Danes performance reminded of Sauers' coached teams. Even Calhoun said UCONN had not had such a extended period of poor play in the past 20 years. The final UCONN run during which they outscored the Danes by 26 was mainly due to the Danes total physical exhaustion.When UCONN began hitting 3 pointers at will, it was because they were incredibly wide open due to almost total fatigue on the Danes part.Did anyone notice how much time Williams had to get off those 3 pointers in the last 10 minutes. During the first 25 mintues the UCONN front line, which decimated Syracuse twice during the regular season, was neutralized repeatedly by double and triple teams. When the big men passed it back out to the perimeter the Danes' guards were ready and caused many of the UCONN turnovers. Billy Packer commented how well the Danes played defense.If anyone would have predicted the game would be tied essentially at half time despite UCONN hitting close to 65% from the field, they would have been considered insane. I am biased but Will Brown, etc. coached a masterpiece. This is obviously just my opinion .Anyone have comments?
  3. I was just was about to start a new thread with this very subject but you beat me to it.. Calhoun's true feelings were his first comment about "the worst 30 minutes of the season". Could better be expected from the most unethical coach in the NCAA. He corrected himself with phony praise of the Danes. For those old enough to remember the UCLA teams that won the NCAAs 9 out of 10 years , they never had close games like this until they played teams that were close to them in ability. You can take it to the bank:.just as they did at UCLA and Florida ,they proved they can play with any team in the country. All they need is to add a player who is good enough to be drafted by the NBA and they will be top 25. Zollner,in my opinion had a game which should get the attention of every NBA scout with an IQ above 70.
  4. As Donny Marshall said during the Vermont UA telecast , UA can play up tempo ,a half court game and spread the floor because of it's 3 point shooters. Albany can play the same type of game Villanova used to beat UCONN. In addition, although he is not an NBA prospect , Zoellner can take up space and contest Armstrong and Boone. He may even be able to get some points inside to allow the Danes shooters more room and time. As stated in another thread , Brent Wilson with his agility and mobility can limit Rudy Gay (in a best case scenario). Since the Danes have 6 guards who can make the 3, a winning scenario would have to include great games by our guards including a high percentage from 3, along with the aforementioned front court play. Another factor that may help UA is UCONN is looking way ahead to the final four. They already believe they can mail it in until the regional final.
