Don't kid yourself, today's game is huge. It's our last game before conference play starts against a top 15 opponent and will pay dividends in March when the Selection Committee selects.
It also will go a long way towards solidifying what is at times is a perceptible bourgeoning confidence in our 4 freshmen. To that end, we need a smart, in control game from them with an emphasis on classic UCONN defense, which is really old school text book defense plus Geno's switching system. In general, we need to box out, deflect passes and dribbles, not force shots or moves, pass inside out, not allow open 3s like we endured against UCLA , and finally get the ball to Paige all game long. When we can, let's run baby run.
We have who we have today and everyone needs to continue to be invested in, and to take ownership of this team, none more than Paige. We can do this and if we do, the wind in our sails will take us a long way. We are only going to get better as the year progresses. That you can take to the bank.
