Scott Rich

The last time he shot two for five last night against Michigan State for 40% from three.

The last time he shot 40% or better from three in a game was February 21st against Villanova.

He has shot in the 20 to 30 percentage range over the last month.

In the first round against Furman, he was 0 for 8 from 3.

Braylon Mullins is a guy who is a Deadeye three-point shooter, but has not been showing it of late.

You do not want to give him an open look and have him see one go through and have that reactivate.

But he is a guy who the performance has not met the reputation at least over the last month.

The last guy I want to very quickly mention off the bench for UConn, because this is a guy who I think is a potential pivot point for this game, is Eric Ryba.

Eric Reiba is a seven-foot-plus freshman center.

He's a German kid.

He was sort of the next Donovan Klingon-type guy that Danny Hurley brought in.

A lot, a lot of fanfare.

He is also extremely, extremely raw as a big.

I was at the Duke Arizona, or the Duke Arizona, I wish, the UConn Arizona game in Gampel Pavilion early on in the season.

That was UConn's first loss of the year.

It was their only non-conference loss.

It was a game where Terrace Reed didn't play.

He was a late scratch because of injury.

And Eric Raibo was sort of thrust into the spotlight.

I hate to rag on a young freshman, but Eric Ryba almost single-handedly lost UConn that game.
