It seems as though every game will be difficult from here on in. Thankfully we are at Gampel on Wednesday night so here are my top 3 things:

1) Caroline;

2) Lou and Aaliyah to get back in rhythm;

3) Ayanna to build on last game.

We simply have to cut down on these turnovers, mostly due to errant or ill advised passes. If we do, the balance shifts in our favor immediately due to an increase in field goal attempts, more fouls on the opponents, and less adverse transition points. We just need our bodies and minds well rested.

Agree. We need Ines and Caroline, Azzi And definitely Nika. We will be full strength soon. She just needs more playtime and to shoot. She will be a contributing factor.

Ines taking the 3 pt shot when she is open
Caroline in for about 10 minutes and scoring
AE and Lou back to their normal selves

A rested team. Allayah has just not really been in her beast mode, Lou’s shooting as not been the fire it has been. Turnovers seriously need to be fixed. It seems like since the SC game where they did so well, shots are just not falling. Understandable since they are so wiped out. Hope to at least see Caroline back to give the starters a breather.

1. Some type of rotation to get players a little break in the game.
2. Take care of the ball
3. Get the subs involved in the offense

If UCONN gets Azzi and Caroline back at some point this season it will really give them a boost. If they don't though they will still need to figure out how to give each of the players a couple minutes of rest during the games. UCONN can compete with any team in the country but they can not have quarters where they don't score, especially against the better teams.

I'm afraid that Fludd or Durcharme will not change this team. They are limited as composed. I think at the end, Brady and Buekers are difference makers. I know this sounds crazy but this team has big holes. No big physical post and no one on one player truly. Lou Is good but she is not a go to player.

1. a no injury win!
2. The return of Sweet Caroline
3 Yanna to continue her good rebounding and inside to
out passes for assists! Yanna had some quality minutes in that Hoya Game!

1. Stay in the game mentally (no lazy or telegraphed passes leading to turnovers)
2 Regain shooting touch, 50%+ overall and 35%+ on threes.
3. Keep up defensive effort, so even if shooting is off they have a chance to win.
