Top 3 Things You Want To See Against Butler On Friday Night

[BBallF]

If, as Kara Wolters said in the post-game, the Creighton game was a season turning point for this team, these are the top 3 things I want to see from them:

1) We start with energy , power, speed, tight defense and unselfish passing, jumping on this team from the opening tip:

2) Caroline lets the game come to her, Azzi makes the game come to her, and AE passes to both of them on cuts and post ups:

3) Evina asserts herself offensively in a prelude to the Tennessee game.

 

[Tonyc]

1 Strong Rebouding getting ready for Tenn
2 Intesity, energy and hustle
3 Seniors lead the way

 

[Zarathustra]

1. Continued good play from the seniors
2. Continuing progress for Aaliyah
3. Rest for the weary/ the infirmed... PT for
Amari and Piath GO HUSKIES!

 

[NU2BY]

A win
Caroline returning to top form
Azzi getting lots of playing time and the ball in her hands when she's open

 

[Conndog]

Agree on the Caroline and Azzi comments
Agree with wanting some playing time for Piath and Amari
Agree with wanting Aaliyah to continue to provide good play (and Liv too)

Run the offense just a little bit higher so we can give the posts more space and get cutters behind the backline defenders. I think this also makes the post-pass a little less difficult. Anything that spreads the defense...makes help defenders less of an issue.

Keep the ball moving. It wears down the defense.

Balanced scoring/Make the defense defend 5 positions.

 

[freshler40]

Play up-temp offense

When running a play, for 3 point shooters, several rebounders should crash the boards with one positioning on the opposite side of rim. In some of these recent games, like Providence, we never attempted to gather offensive rebounds in the first half. Ono did in the second half of both games but Edwards often doesn't bother. She played too many minutes to not contribute more with rebounding.

Guards sometimes driving all the way to the hoop before the defense gets set. Williams and Azzi can make a difference with their quickness.

 

[meyers7]

1. win
2. enough players and coaches to field a team
3. win

I'm easy.

 

[Charliebball]

complete domination from the first minute to the last........bench players getting good minutes........no injuries.....

 

[Happydad745]

1. PB in the shoot around-it has been 8 weeks
2. More outside shooting from Azzi
3. Better passing-something most past teams were good at.

 

[LarryLegend]

1) no one gets hurt
2) no one gets sick
3) no on gets hurt or sick

 

[dtbtbtb]

1. ONO and AE finishing with contact
2. comfortable win with a lot of playing time for PG and AD
3. Azzi to hit at least 5 3's.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

) Consistent effort under the boards by ONO
2) Another 40% 3-point shooting night from the team overall.
3) A 2:1 assist to turnover ratio for the team.

 

[Argonaut]

1. A strong first half
2. Time for Amari and Piath in the second half
3. Shooting at 50/30/80+

 

[Shenandoah]

Movement
Cutting through the lane with their head up looking for a pass, not just running to run
Getting some game time for Piath and Amari

 

[Husky fanatic]

1. Caroline and Christyn both play
2. Azzi lights it up
3. Olivia continues her stellar play

 

[Ozimoto]

A full 40 minutes of basketball.

The walking wounded able to play.

Consistent performance on offense and defense.

 

[UConnCat]

 

[Monte]

1. Geno

2. Caroline

3..NO MORE INJURIES (or sickness)

 

[The CDR-Ret]

1) Quick lead in the 1st period, and NOT letting off of the "accelerator ==> 40+ pt MOV;
2) screens working (not moving) to get open 3 Pt shots that go down as well as clean back cuts for layups that are made at > 80% rate;
3) aggressive defense that leads to opponents turnovers and fast break points [> 25 pts on fast breaks] to prove that the Huskies are ready to beat UT at [UCONN's] home on Sunday [and then do it - I know that this part can't be seen on Friday night other than by Carnac!!!]

The above will show that the Creighton game was A turning point in the season. I am looking for THE turning point when Paige returns to the line-up at FULL POWER and FULLY HEALED before the end of February [sooner rather than later is my prayer]...

 

[PAHuskeyFan]

Just Win Baby! (and look like a cohesive TEAM while doing it).

 

[ME Husky Fan]

Christyn continuing to prove to the detractors on the BY that she’s someone who can still play the game
No traveling or offensive fouls by Aaliyah
Another Culmo thread

 

[Zinethar]

First and foremost: No More Injuries or Sickness!
A clean well played fluid offense leading to an easy win.
All players getting into the game so in the first half and into the 3rd quarter the regular rotation players get the experience together they sorely need and for the rest of the game the rotation players rest while the reserves get the playing time they need to develop.

 

[MilfordHusky]

1. Play hard!

2. Play smart!

3. Have fun!

And give Amari lots of PT.

 

[todbo]

Azzi hits first three treys to open up

Heavy scoring in the paint so that

Amari and Piath get significant playing time.
