The Top 3 Things You Want To See Against SC

[King Kong]

1. 50-40-90 game from the team.
2. Losing the battle of the boards by less that 4.
3. Limiting SC's dribble penetration.

UConn won the battle of the boards last year 40 - 38, but lost by 18 points.

I hope to see UConn score twice as many 3s as SC, most by fearless freshmen.

Based on advice from others, I hope to see at least 8 Paige 3s
Crushing defense by Liya/Liv, Nika/Paige, & the hand grenades Mir & Aubrey.

 

[EasyEd]

1 ONO plays like the center we need her to be. Good offense and defense with minimal fouls.
2 Good movement on offense.
3 Good communication on defense

Unfortunately, this game I have to wear Gamecocks gear. I loss a bet to my sister last year. All I want to see this game is a WIN .

 

[Woof 101]

1. Liv on the high post, AE down low and CW, Nika, Paige in a layup line all night!
2. See # one and that has Boston in foul trouble rather than our bigs.
3. Over all continued progress in a very trying season.

3) No Husky looking like scared puppies

eebmg: No attack but when have you ever seen a UConn player look like a scared puppy? Just wondering and having followed the team for decades this would be something new to me. Freshmen be damned, the puppies will be out in force with those teeth sharp as needles.

I think we only need one thing that we haven't already seen happening. Liv needs to put her big girl pants on and play like a UConn husky in a big game. Add that to what everyone else is showing, UConn wins.

Again, no personal attack but seriously? If Olivia was not giving her all she would not be in the game. Geno does not pamper anyone and rules with a very heavy hand. She may not be Tina Charles or Swin Cash yet but giving her all.
She has what you call her big girl pants on every game and plays like a Husky every game. Just my opinion.
I have criticized her for putting the ball on the floor in the past but that is also an effort of trying to do more with the given talent. So bad on me to.
I still believe she is a flower that will blossom, and still damn good before doing so.

I was only going to predict 6 3s from Paige, but I like your estimate better.

Did that / done that / boring.

 

[freshler40]

Strong double high post willing to set solid pick and rolls

Refs that don't dominate the game with silly away from the ball fouls. Let them play.

Decent shooting percentages with 4-5 Huskies in double figures

 

[Ozimoto]

The team plays with controlled aggression and a "don't back down" attitude. Pretty sure we will see that from this bunch

Good, ball hawking defense with good switching and help defense

Good ball movement and hard cutting

A victory would be great, but if they play hard and well and still come up short I would be ok with that.

 

[JellyBean]

1). Which player takes a charge first. This sets the tone for the game.

2). Which player steps up and plays big against South Carolina.

3). Which player takes a step back against South Carolina.

 

[MilfordHusky]

1. A win, a decisive win.

2. Paige is the best player on the floor.

3. Liv and Liya hold Boston to a draw.

Besides getting me dizzy, what does this mean??

 

[hart2hart]

A Win
Not Playing Tentatively
Starting 5 All In Double Figures!

 

[boontonbomber]

1. Geno calm, relaxed and pleased with the play of the Team.

2. Multiple 3's from Paige, Nika and Evina, so they do not know who to press.

3. Liv and Edwards owning the boards and scoring on the inside.

I want to see Geno calm, no matter what is going on.

Just 2 things will be fine with me:

1: We hit ALL our threes.

2: SC misses ALL their threes.
