Top 3 Things You Want To See Against DePaul On Saturday

[Pharos]

I'm not a coach. I'm a fan. But I'm not the kind that loses sleep. I have 11 grandkids; I like to see young people try hard at stuff. And I like to think about things. So here are my 3:

1. More shots. Here's a simple table of what happens when you shoot more shots even at a lower percentage (it's simplified to assuming 2pt attempts):

50 shots >> @ 40% 20 x 2 = 40
50 shots >> @ 45% 22.5 x 2 = 45
50 shots >> @ 50% 25 x 2 = 50

60 shots >> @ 40% 24 x 2 = 48
60 shots >> @ 45% 27 x 2 = 54
60 shots >> @ 50% 30 x 2 = 60

70 shots >> @ 40% 28 x 2 = 56
70 shots >> @ 45% 31.5 x 2 = 63
70 shots >> @ 50% 35 x 2 = 70

2. More offensive rebounds... more possessions; more shots

3. Fewer turnovers... losing possession fewer times; more shots

* UConn has had low shots taken numbers for a while. Hoist 'em up. And grab rebounds.

 

[Scud49]

1. A happy, energetic, team with lots of positive energy
2. A good sized win.
3. Ayanna - when she has the opportunity, putting that ball on the floor and driving to the basket for a layup with authority..!

• Post halfway up the lane versus at the bottom. Turning baseline there's no room and it's an invitation to a trap. It's no different than dribbling over half-court into the corner.
• Some of the passes into the post should be quicker with less air under them. Just because the post doesn't secure the pass doesn't mean it's their fault. Some of the passes are causing the post to give up position and reach out to get them.
• Stop arguing or showing up the ref. You can't win that battle.

What station will it be on? I cannot find it anywhere in my television listings. I know it is not on SNY. I want to see the team play with confidence, shoot accurately, and win in a not so close game.

CBS SN

FOX

 

[Happydad745]

Ines/Ayanna/Patterson getting 5 minutes each, a test to see how they do and to rest our starters
No flaky shots
Win

 

[OldSchooler]

Although it's probably too late, AE returning to the early-season form that made her an AA candidate.

Our good shooters (CD and LLS) taking more quality shots, but that's going to require more efficient screening by teammates.

Some little snippet of news that Azzi is closer to returning.

Here's the short version of my earlier post:

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." -- Wayne Gretzky

 

[browns]

1) Effort
2) to's under 1
3) Defense as always

 

[CONNCAN]

1. Aubrey Griffin reverts back to how she played during the first 2/3rd's of the season and not the last 2 weeks (a DOUBLE-DOUBLE on Saturday)
2. Less than 10 Team Turnovers
3. Significant Minutes for Ayanna, Amari and Ines, to give the starters and Caroline (who would come in as 1st off the bench) a blow

 

[darrell]

Saw her return in person last year at DePaul, hoping to witness it again tomorrow.

This Saturday’s game is on FOX @ 2PM.

Get ready for "Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah". It's called let's have a numbing conversation about basketball, let's not call or analyze the game. Pre-locate the mute button.

 

[Jokerman619]

A big win
Team gets MOJO back no injuries
Azzi back in line up.

 

[MSGRET]

1. Smoother offense with at least 65% of the shots going in.
2. Defend everyone that is not named Morrow. She will get her usual D-D.
3. Win the game with No Injuries.

 

[Rb335]

1. A win
2. A return to form game (Edwards and Griffin)
3. Quality contribution from Ducharme

 

[Topdawg]

1. Control the game
2. Maximize possessions - win the rebound battle and limit turnovers.
3. Take lots of shots. Get fouled while making shots.

We win if we exceed our average shooting percentages.

 

[Zarathustra]

Get ready for "Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah". It's called let's have a numbing conversation about basketball, let's not call or analyze the game. Pre-locate the mute button.

I will hit the mute button and pray for streaming audio! Go Huskies!!

Time to bounce back against DePaul and here are the top 3 things I want to see on Saturday:

1) A win;

2) Don't force a pass, a drive or a shot, not a single one;

3) Lou touches the ball on every single possession.

We just need to finish these next two games with both energy and strength.

Eye contact on passes. No Air Balls. play their best (what ever that may be NOW). I hope ALL available players get in the game ( if you understand what that means)

Apologies. My original schedule stated CBS SN. I should have fact checked!

 

[Tonyc]

1. Energy
2. Poise
3. Confidence

 

[fomalhaut]

I'd like to see Nika Muhl break the single season assist record on Saturday. If that happens, I'd be extremely confident of a solid win.

 

[MSGRET]

Apologies. My original schedule stated CBS SN. I should have fact checked!

No apologies needed, CBS Sport Network has the Senior Night game against Xavier.

1. I know there are a lot of Ducharmare lovers here. No me. She can’t jump! She plays lousey defense , her positioning is all wrong. Rear end back, head over toes , weight on front of feet! Bench her. Patterson showed a ton of positives in last game. Turn her loose! Or she probably will transfer out. Big loss.
2. Play ones and tell her to shoot!
3. Play a match up zone to save their legs!
