00:00From a tactical standpoint, the first three quarters told one story.
00:07Connecticut winning the shot-quality battle with decisive ball movement, early paint touches, and relentless rebounding.
00:15Indiana's offense was static, their spacing compressed by missed threes and slow cuts.
00:20The turning point came when Indiana began pushing pace after makes and misses,
00:25flattening the floor for Mitchell and Sims while using Boston as a release valve at the elbow.
00:32That alignment stretched Connecticut's defense open lanes and created rhythm threes that simply weren't there in the first half.
00:40Defensively, Indiana's decision to mix and switches and well-timed traps on Mabry in the fourth quarter disrupted the Sun's initiation points,
00:49forcing contested jumpers late in the clock.
00:55Clicing tricks and the south to decide on the middle of the joins
01:02to the second half...
