Having thoroughly analyzed the Stanford loss, let's look ahead.

[Kibitzer]

Next game at home vs. Creighton, then three games in three days in Florida, preparing for big battle vs. Notre Dame.

Among the things you won't see:

Any more of those blithe "life with Geno" interviews (e.g., Stewie and Kaleena on ESPN);
Kia Nurse crashing into people repetitively like her brother does in the NHL;
Stewie nailed three times in any game for three-second violations; or,
Kiah taking ill-advised perimeter shots with 20+ seconds on the shot clock.​

Some things you will likely see:

More, er, something of Courtney and Gabby;
Kaleena getting open shots aided by screens or posting up smaller defenders -- or both;
Saniya starting and shooting lights out;
Stewie and Kiah playing high-low catch (taking turns at position, depending on matchups); and,
Morgan getting into the offensive flow.

Next game at home vs. Creighton,

I feel sorry for Creighton. The last 5 losses for UCONN the following games were not pretty.
Lost to ND, beat Idaho 105-37
Lost to ND, beat DePaul 94-61
Lost to Baylor, beat Seton Hall 90-30
Lost to ND, beat Georgtown 75-48
Lost to ND, beat Charleston 103-39

then three games in three days in Florida,

Ah, my vacation in the sun.

Some things you will likely see:

More, er, something of Courtney and Gabby;
Kaleena getting open shots aided by screens or posting up smaller defenders -- or both;
Saniya starting and shooting lights out;
Stewie and Kiah playing high-low catch (taking turns at position, depending on matchups); and,
Morgan getting into the offensive flow.​

Let's hope so.

I would like to point out that the game strategy that Tara Vandaver employed against UConn was eerily familiar. It reminded me of when UConn played ND during the Diggins, Novesel, Mallory years.

1. ND and Stanford were extremely physical with UConn
2. The referees let them get away with it.
3. The guards did a lot of one on one play, penetrating and dishing to open three pointers.
4. UConn was inept at defending the pick and roll
5. Games were close with UConn coming up on the short end.
6. ND and Stanford was good free-throw shooting team.
7. ND and Stanford boxed out extremely well
8. Both ND and Stanford believed, they really believed that they could beat UConn
9. Both ND and Stanford were able to reduce at least one of UConn's major offensive weapons to mediocrity.
