Play Hard, Play Smart and have fun

The skills are there...question will be: how fast does Olivia gets used to the physicality of the college game. I have no doubt she'll be a key part of the rotation and probably will be in the starting 5 sometime during next season.

1. Return to form shooting for Azzi and Shade 2. Control the boards 3. Hold SC to under 60 points

It's a difficult choice...Blanca was clearly the POG (career night and was the superstar UConn needed) but my BA goes to Jana! The game changed dramatically when she got in, rebounded the hell out the ball and even scored 2 layups from great passes to her.

Blanca! till she entered, UConn just didn't look good....she came in and suddenly the game turned...she had 7 points in the first quarter out of the 11 of UConn...on defense she was scaring the NC players with great defense...steals, deflections...

The first half was the best basketball show I've seen UConn play, ever!

So many candidates for the BA of this game: Azzi, Sarah, Blanca, K9 and Serah...i'll go with Fudd because the way she came back from the previous game to a career game was BA.

1. 40% from 3 for the team with Azzi hitting 5 3's. 2. control the boards 4. Force at least 25 turnovers (the starting Syracuse PG is injured and will not play)

Few Thoughts: *While clearly all you need to do is win and advance and the game was won by 39 points, is was not a good game for our Huskies... *First half it seemed like they were shooting too many 3's at a low percentage instead of trying to get in the paint. *What's up with all the missed...

while Blanca and Ash are good choices for the BA, i'll go with K9! she was everywhere on the court and when KK had to sit with foul troubles, kept the team organized while employing her relentless defense.

at this point (before we see what the teams look like on the court) it seems all 4 number 1's should make it to the final 4...maybe LSU can take out UCLA, maybe Vandi can take out UConn, Maybe Oklahoma or Iowa can take out SC and maybe Michigan or Louisville can take out TX but not likely,

1. our bigs to dominate...it's important for the future games for them to have confidence 2. Sarah and Azzi to play like AA's 3. hold them to under 50 points while scoring over 90 points

i was just happy that UConn got the 1st overall seed, so they'll play in Fort Worth (If they win as expected the 2 first games) as i have tickets to the games 😀

it seemed to me today that the players were looking more for one on one than actually running an offense to get the best shot possible. The players are so good that most of the time it ended with a basket but it was not as beautiful as the first 2 games.

i would hope Kara will start both Paige and Clark as this is clearly the future USA starting backcourt, so might as well start in this tournament with Gray and KP coming off the bench.
