Chief among them in Auriemma’s eyes is that she too often waited for the game to come to her, something he especially harped on after the team’s sole regular-season loss to Arkansas. “I definitely see what he’s talking about,” Bueckers said. “I watched a lot of film on last year. I’m definitely coming out with a more aggressive approach. Instead of sort of letting it come to me, I have to go take it myself.” Bueckers mentioned other ways she wants to elevate her game: be a better defender, a better cutter, be better moving off the ball. Last season’s abrupt end taught her that intangibles will be just as, if not even more, critical in trying to win a championship this season. [/QUOTE]
