1. UConn is special defensively because of Clingan. We are going to play a ton of 5 out on offense to try to pull Clingan away from the basket. Like Purdue, Hurley may counter with Clingan on Rodgers, which may lead to Rodgers playing fewer minutes than usual.
2. I do wonder whether Hurley might put Clingan on Domask. That would take booty ball away entirely, and let Clingan sag off Domask.
3. On defense, I think we'll see a lot of Hawkins playing behind Clingan on an island. And I think you'll see Hansberry getting tick, too. Clingan is not a good free throw shooter; it would be especially smart to use Hansberry's fouls on Clingan when UConn is in the 1 and 1. Dain will get minutes, too, but my guess is we'll want him on the floor when Clingan sits.
4. I think we're going to do everything we can to take away the three point line and force them to beat us with twos. If we can do that successfully without fouling, it gives us a chance if we make shots.
