Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4183452, member: 5798"] The UConn women will need to play much better this evening to leave Nebraska with a win against a tough offensive Creighton team (15-5/10-2) and keep their longstanding conference win streak alive. UConn coach Geno Auriemma was not satisfied with his team’s play Sunday at Providence, saying he[I] “wasn’t pleased about anything with the way we played.” [/I]UConn's game at Creighton finishes a four-game road stint. The Huskies' next four games will be played in Connecticut. UConn hosts Butler in Gampel Pavilion Friday before finishing off non-conference play vs. No. 7 Tennessee Sunday at the XL Center. The Huskies host Villanova Wednesday, Feb. 9, at XL before finishing off the homestand vs. DePaul on Friday, Feb. 11, in Gampel. [IMG]https://s.hdnux.com/photos/01/23/63/05/21967223/9/1200x0.jpg[/IMG] Creighton has had the luxury of being difficult to scout this season, with a plethora of scoring options. The Bluejays have a player reach at least 20 points in nine contests, getting that total at least once from [URL='https://gocreighton.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6922']Carly Bachelor[/URL], [URL='https://gocreighton.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6933']Lauren Jensen[/URL], [URL='https://gocreighton.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6927']Morgan Maly[/URL] and [URL='https://gocreighton.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6930']Emma Ronsiek[/URL]. Ronsiek sits atop the scoring chart with 14.8 ppg, but fellow sophomores [URL='https://gocreighton.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6933']Lauren Jensen[/URL] and [URL='https://gocreighton.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6927']Morgan Maly[/URL] have are just a step back averaging 12.0 ppg and 11.9 ppg respectively. The key to Creighton's attack is ball movement. The Bluejays enter Friday's contest as the NCAA leader in Assist-to-Turnovers (1.59) and Assists Per Game (20.8). Senior point guard [URL='https://gocreighton.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6929']Tatum Rembao[/URL] stirs the drink for the Bluejays with 125 assists and a 3.38 Assist-to-Turnover Ratio (2nd in the NCAA). “They’re not an easy team to defend,” Auriemma said after the first UConn-Creighton game. “You’ve got to work really, really hard, and you’ve got to keep working. The minute you stop, they get a layup or they get an open 3.” [B]The Interior Game: [/B]Creighton outscored Connecticut in the paint and grabbed one additional rebound than the Huskies during the game in Storrs. A repeat of that effort will keep the Bluejays in range. [B]Speaking of range:[/B] While the Bluejays have thrived this season on the inside, Creighton was just 5-for-25 from beyond the arc at Connecticut. The Bluejays season low from long range is five, doing so in a pair of losses. [B]Belief:[/B] Against the Huskies one of the biggest hurdles is believing they can be beat. An eight-point loss in January left the Bluejays feeling that an opportunity was missed. When the teams first met on Jan. 9, UConn saw its 17-point advantage shrink to eight in the final minutes before pulling out a 63-55 win. Creighton has since gone 5-1, its sole loss to Villanova (74-64).
