Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 3467294, member: 10435"] First and foremost, the continuation of the aggressive, active, team defense turning into offense and leading to the transition baskets and quick tempo movement at all times. Secondly, an early "being the aggressor" on offense as Meg put it recently and not just reacting to the defense. Third, more team chemistry, fun, and enthusiasm. Fourth, will we see a 7 player rotation or will Ev or Molly get some earlier time? Fifth, individual items. For ONO, getting the ball early and often in the half court sets and going to both sides on her moves and showing a "jump hook" again. No swatting please! For Meg, high octane movement on both ends of the court, posting up on the low block, offensive rebounding and eliminating the forced pass turnovers. The shooting and defensive boards appear to be givens now. For CD, leading the break with those highlight passes, engineering the give and go and pick and rolls, and making the pull up jumpers and running the offense smoothly in the half court sets. For CW, a sense of urgency now for herself since she is feeling good about her game again on the basis of her last interview. Getting to the rim and sinking the 10 foot pull ups and focusing on defense at the same time. The 3s will come. For Anna, playing without hesitancy on offense and going to the hoop and shooting when open not just when you made your last shot. No trying to block jump shots from behind please! For Aubrey, all the things she does again but also getting ahead of the break and faking when she is going up on an offensive rebound or shot in the paint. For Kyla, doing her job in the floor game and not trying to make the perfect pass but rather only the best pass available. For the rest, no let up. These young women and the coaching staff have worked very, very hard to redefine this team and make it into the current version of UCONN basketball we were all waiting for. Let's look to see a further development of it today. [/QUOTE]
