Top 3 Things You Want To See Against Iowa State on Tuesday Night. Game is at 8:30 p.m. on FS1.

I'd rather a AA candidate back than a non AA candidate. True our rebounding could be better. We're at a plus 7, should be plus 10. But our 3 pt avg is at 33%. Much rather see that at 38-40%, and I think/hope Fudd can help with that.

Also, the longer Fudd doesn't come back the more likely there's a bigger problem than they are telling us.

Neither Aubrey nor Azzi were All Americans. Azzi, and I want her back too, is a career 38.1% shooter from three, 33.3% this season, probably because her wheels keep getting hurt. She does pull the defense off Paige, and that’s valuable, but Aubrey is a physical presence in the paint that can sky for rebounds and draw fouls from post players. She’s also good for 10 points a game on putbacks from offensive rebounds.

Both were AAs. Azzi was high school player of the year as a sophomore and Audrey was a McDonald’s AA as a senior.

Candidate. I said candidate. Fudd is on the Naismith and Wooden Watch lists. 10 points is good, but I'd rather have 15-20.

And besides, Griffin isn't due back til Jan 1 at the earliest. Fudd on the other hand was said to be out a week. So it's possible she could be back tonight. And if she's not, that's not good. If Griffin isn't back tonight....that's expected.

So who would I rather see tonight? Fudd, like a 100000000......% over Griffin.

Now, I'd like to have both of them healthy and playing up to their ability. BUT if I was only able to have one of them (in some weird, you get to pick, world) I'd pick Fudd every day and twice on Sunday, without even a millisecond of thought.

If we as a team can shoot 50%/40%, I don't care about a rebounding edge.

I'm assuming that the 2 givens are always there - no injuries and UConn wins. so my game 3 are:
1. Paige gets 25+
2. Sarah gets 20+
3. 4 others get 10+ (hopefully Azzi, Shade, Chen/KK, Jana/Ice)

So how about this as a proposition? If we had Aubrey late last year we reach the Finals and give SC a game and a half. Many BYers underestimate what she does out there. Yes it's rebounds and junk but she is also a great defender with great hands and great anticipation. A complete "floor player" in the classical definition of the expression.

Just wanted to give this thread a Bump so that folks see its title: the game is on FS1 tonight. No need to use the Fox Sports app (unless you really, really want to!).

I'm just hoping that the game starts closer to 8:30 than to 9:30. There's a game before ours that starts at 6:00, but it shouldn't be a close game and should be over before 8:00. But you never know...

No overtime in the first game please!

1. Brady vs Crooks. Both 6-3 and strong, but Crooks relies primarily on strength and Brady much more on finesse. Curious how the staff prepare for Crooks

2. More from Cheli. I wanna see her keep building on her recent growth. UConn may need a big guard to body up to Juju later in the week

3. Relentless defense, possibly to include frequent pressing

I agree. Chelli has a very high basketball IQ. Interesting to see how she develops come March. Geno is very high on her.

The LSU vs SHU game concluded in plenty of time, should have no affect on our start time

Besides a win and no injuries...
1) Enough good things happening for Ice and Jana to give them confidence and momentum going forward.
2) A good, aggressive offensive game from our secondary (&, hopefully, 3rd tier) scorers.
3) Even though we'll have to collapse on Crooks, I hope we'll be better at closing out on 3 point shooters.
