You saw how those guys being on the court, how it really transformed how this team was energized by that.
I also just think, again, UConn is a strong team.
We have to match that intensely.
Danny Hurley, his intensity kind of injects itself into the team.
And there are times where, again, they kind of play outside of themselves.
That game where Terrace Reed had 31 points and 27 rebounds, as you mentioned, Scott, they needed every single point, every single rebound that he contributed because...
Without that, they were going to go home in the first round.
And so they have these tendencies where one guy steps up and has a Herculean moment.
Our job is to stop some of those opportunities for other guys to win the game.
So you took a little bit of my thunder because one of the things that I mentioned is the fact that they do get a lot of shots off of the pass.
And similar to what St.
John's was doing, there were times where Reuben Prey was open because they were able to work the ball around him.
Their assist rate was actually really, really good in that game.
I think one of their strengths is, like you mentioned, working guys around.
You know, I hate to say it, you know.
Richard Rip Hamilton went to UConn.
They kind of have some of that tendency of a guy running around until they find the spot that they're open and then get a good shot.
If we can prevent that from excellent perimeter defense, that kind of stymies some of the passing to the open spots and not allow them to get good looks.
One thing that's kind of interesting about this team is while I say they're a solid team, they average over 11 turnovers a game.
And Jason, your magic threshold is 12, right?
