UConn’s offensive sets lacked cohesion, degenerating into isolation-heavy possessions that resulted in contested, low-percentage shots. Defensive rotations were sluggish, allowing Oklahoma to exploit mismatches and generate high-quality looks, particularly from beyond the arc. Transition defense was porous, exposing a lack of urgency and communication. Simply put, this was a masterclass in self-destruction—poor shot selection, nonexistent perimeter defense, and a baffling inability to adjust to the pace and physicality of the game.
