These are my top 3 things against DePaul:

1) The team to bounce back in a big way with defense and a sense of total urgency:

2) Liv and Caroline to play:

3) Please pick for and get the ball to Azzi for at least 20 shots during the entire game and Azzi to try to create by dribble drive moves and pull ups.

I only want see that the coaches watched Morrow in the last game and have made it clear to our post players that she can't push her way to a better rebounding position...on every shot.
And maybe Geno or Chris try to make sure that the refs pay attention to Morrow's technique.

I might as well hit the same point of emphasis as I've been boring you with for most of the season: reduce opponents' scoring opportunities by boxing out every member of DePaul's team every time one of them launches a shot. Do not immediately turn to watch the flight of the shot. Do immediately put a body on the closest DePaul player, between her and the basket, and only then go after the ball.
It really does work, and you don't have to be a "big" to snag most rebounds.

Just 3 things?? That's unfair! Okay here's my abbreviated list.
1. A fully healthy squad
2. Play 'UConn Basketball'
3. For me not to scream "She's pushing (holding, grabbing, etc.)" one time.

Intense play-all game
Liv healthy and playing, rest Dorka if needed
It is time for Westbrook to step up and fill the gap until Paige returns.

1. " just win Huskies! "
2. Box out for 4 quarters, Aaliyah has a great game!
3. " Healthy" production from the
whole team, Caroline, ONO are back and
Azzi and Christyn repeat their performances of
the Villanova game. Christyn said ( Villanova post game presser ):
"I take responsibilty... it will not happen again!"

1. If we have bodies then we need to pressure them to take the 3 point line away and make the entry pass more difficult.
2. Go low then kick back out cause they will be doubling and tripling the post player.
3. They can't guard Caroline down low, Use her on the elbow if we go 4 guard and one big.

Over guard their best entry passers
Front Morrow on defense
poor passes inside on offense to our bigs to get Morrow in foul trouble

Will have to go with four guards if Liv still “can’t go tonight”.
Dorka injured.
Piath and Amari still exist only in the Twilight Zone.

Don't exactly remember who said it, so please don't nitpick me.
Think it was Kara Wolters.
When one of your teammates takes a shot, never assume that it's going to go in.
Instead, assume that it's NOT going to go in, and throw an elbow or two and position yourself accordingly.
If it does go in, so what.
If it doesn't, a put back or another possession is more than worth the effort.

Whatever team we put on the floor; I want to see:

1). Hustle and max effort. Want every ball.

2). A team that values the ball. Limit the turnovers.

3). Win every quarter.

1. Liv, Caroline and Dorka healthy

2. A better game-plan against Morrow

3. Preserve the no back to back losses streak (which is at risk tonight)
