During Q3, while the Huskies were stretching the lead to 69-39, asked what they appreciate about UConn:
Joey Galloway (ESPN football analyst and former buckeye): "Make no mistake about it. I'm a buckeye fan, and
I'm here tonight rooting for the buckeyes. But this UConn team is a machine. I've never seen a
basketball team play with the intensity they play with. You can't make a mistake. If you make a
mistake, not only do they take the ball, but they score it on the other end... Ohio State has made
too many mistakes, and UConn has made them pay."
White: "I think that's one of the things that separates Connecticut. You have to play a 40 minute ball game of
almost perfection to be able to give yourself a chance to win. You have to play both sides of the basket-
ball. You have to be efficient. You can't allow them to make those runs because once they smell blood,
they just get after you."
Galloway: "And it's fun to watch. I'm not rooting for UConn, but it is fun to sit here and watch their intensity
level. And the way they play- all five people on the court are playing with a hunger. They are trying
to put you away, every single possession. The scary part about UConn, with UConn there's no weak
links on this team. If defensively you wanted to find a weak link on this team, I just don't know how
you'd find it. When you look at UConn, I don't see a weak link."
Damn right!
