“There’s a lot of things that Stewie is going to have to get better at,’’ Auriemma said. “She knows that, but she’s actually pretty good at following directions. Like if you tell her, `I want you to do this,’ she’ll do it. It’s just when you leave it up to her and you’re kind of open-ended about `Hey, we need you to …’ But there were stretches there where you just tell her, `Listen, I want you to try to score every time you touch the ball. And on defense I want you to try to block her shot every time down the floor.’ And it was almost like, `OK, that’s all you needed to tell me. Because when you go, `Hey, I need you to be more aggressive.’ `Huh?’ So you’ve got to be real specific with her. And (Monday) in the second half we were very specific with Stewie and she did a great job.’’
