He was so poor not exactly from a performance standpoint, but in terms of the VOLITILITY in his game. I hope our lead guard is never like that again.

This. He was completely ignorant for that exercise.
FO68 just trot out some of the most incompetent people for their shows.
We shall see - the voodoo dolls in Storrs make them practically immune to losing games out of the Big Least. Last year, despite being down Reed and Mullins early season in stretches, they still figured out how to win most of those games and almost pulled off beating Arizona with no Mullins or Reed. They got the sauce. So even though Duke has the roster, they don't have the coach (or sauce).
Duke had a better record, was ranked higher, seeded higher and also had to play a stretch late in the season without multiple rotation players. And it required bone headed play of the century plus a low percentage deep 3 for UConn to beat them in 100% lockbox fashion.
The “sauce” is a made up thing that doesn’t exist.
There is no parallel universe where playing Duke was preferable.
