Two questions after last night's game
1. Where the heck was Josh Boone?
2. How long do we have to wait for Rudy Gay's amazing athleticism to be paired with some maturity and some decent shot selection?
UConn really was outplayed the whole game, and yet they hung close until the last 2 minutes. Even with Boone doing next to nothing, their front court looks like it will be able to dominate most teams. They need a reliable scorer in the half-court offense, and it would be great if Gay could be that guy. Gay made some nice moves last night, but rarely finished. I'm not sure if he's shying away from contact, or if he's trying so hard to draw contact that he contorts his body and loses sight of the hoop.
Anderson is such a nice complement to the bruisers inside, but he's too streaky to be counted on. They aren't going to be able to count on their point guard to give them a big scoring night every time it counts, so the evolution of a scoring swing-man will likely determine how far this team goes this year.
