Last Saturday, one of my very good friends and I drove down to Tampa from Gainesville to watch the Uconn/USF game since he had gotten tickets directly (front row) behind the UCONN bench with Calhoun's other family and friends. Only 40 tickets were alloted for this so I considered myself very fortunate for this opportunity.
Around the 14-15 minute mark, Calhoun pulled his entire lineup (including Walker, Robinson, Dyson, Edwards) for the 2nd string. Initially this energized the Huskies but they were just as susceptible to lapses on defense as the first unit and USF opened a big lead. When ever the 2nd team did something good on the defensive end, Calhoun came down the bench to yell at Dyson and Robinson about thats how to do it and so forth. Neither of the players would even look at their coach. Although Walker eventually got back in the game Dyson, Edwards, + Robinson never touched the floor again and Dyson and Robinson pouted throughout the second half.
I have never seen anything like this when a team was essentially playing a play-in game for the field of 65. I could not bet on this team w/o knowing whats going on in those players minds, amount of playing time they will receive, or what is the underlying reason for giving away the final game of the season.
Please take it for whats its worth.

I'm already on the Johnnies. Interesting stuff
. Problem with UConn is they are offensively challenged. The team can't hit an open jumper consistantly. BUT..they can bring the D. I'm not sure why this total keeps going up but I feel this game goes wayyyyy under....133.5 right now. I'm waiting for 134 and I'm pouncing.
