Top 3 Things You Want To See Against Maryland On Thursday Night

[BBallF]

A win is always automatically included and sorely needed now after the N.C. State loss. My specific top 3 things are as follows:

1) Move without the ball with a sense of urgency.

2) Play UCONN defense with a sense of urgency.

3) Bounce back with a sense of urgency.

I know you have at least 3. What are they?

 

[Zarathustra]

1. aggressive rebounding and boxing out.
2. Breakout games for multiple Huskies.... pick you favorite(s).
3. Pressure defense.... to seal the deal = the " W"

 

[oldhusky]

1. A breakout game by Ice that gives Geno confidence to increase her minutes substantially in the future and solve some of our size and rebounding issues.

2. Azzi have a game that reignites hope that she can still be a star.

3. Caroline looking like her freshmen season. With her injury issues, having a major role in the rotation is unfortunately in doubt.

 

[jpp13]

1. Defend
2. Rebound
3. Give a shit ( I know this is harsh but we looked so disinterested at times)

 

[maple]

A win and no injuries are a given, so:

1. For the whole team to play well and not just stand around waiting for Paige to take over.
2. Hit a bunch of 3s.
3. Smothering defense.

Honorable mention: REBOUNDING!!!!!

 

[hoophuskee]

1--- Paige and Edwards to play like their past ALL-American status or better.
2--- Azzi and Caroline to show off they are 1st team A/A and 3rd team A/a "Quality-type caliber players," respectively.
3--- The remainder of the team overall "shoot the ball well."

 

[LuvBball]

1) Everyone healthy
2) a win
3) Q as the starting wing

 

[Spaceman213J]

Not seeing a team that plays defense that reminds me of the end of the Kevin Ollie era with the men's program. Get out on the perimeter and not give up wide open 3's.
Some motion and back door cuts on the offensive end. Everybody looked asleep at times in the last game.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

Keep bringing along Ice.

I liked the press in one of the earlier games with the youngsters (Arnold, Shade and Q) in the lineup. See if it's real.

Attack with the drive and midrange shots. Few less 3s.

 

[Bigboote]

Three things? Peace Love and Understanding? Nah, let's be realistic even if a bit aspirational.

1) Every UConn player finds a Terp to box out as soon as a shot goes up.

2) The motion offense stays in motion

3) Caroline shows some of the mojo she showed a couple of years ago

Isn't that sort of wishing for the children of all the world to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace?

 

[Monte]

1. Q as a starter

2. A more aggressive Fudd

3. The top player in the country take control

 

[Bone Dog]

I’ll focus on the players I want to see on the court who aren’t already in the rotation.
1) Ice
2) KK
3) Ashlynn

If they get 10+ mins, it should mean that we’re playing a pressing running game.

 

[Husky fanatic]

1. Ashlyn Shade
2. Less than 10 fouls
3. Defense

 

[browns]

1. Q as a starter

2. A more aggressive Fudd

3. The top player in the country take control

She plays for Iowa

 

[browns]

1)As always play defense which was nonexistent Sunday
2)Rebound..its all about effort
2)Move the ball and don't stand around

[Centerstream]

The starters scoring @20 points by the first media time out.
Another 20+points by the bench during the game
Who wins the battle to be the 1st person to post the Post Game thread. I remember when there wasn't a race but nothing stays the same I guess. I also remember having to "wait" for the posting once in a while, but the wait was well worth it. I am dismounting from my high horse now.

 

[Rowdy831]

In my opinion they need to perfect the fundamentals on offense and defense. UConn is a fancy team with an over abundance of star power but they all need to slow down a little and make the other team work.

1. Do not settle for 3s when better shots are available
2. Better help on defense
3. Run the offense through Paige

This team has great scorers but they could work for better shots. If they take good shots they win, if they just want to shoot threes they will struggle.

 

[MilfordHusky]

In addition to a win and no injuries:

1. Win the rebounding battle.

2. Vastly improved defense.

3. 3 players play like All-Americans.

3.a. We outscore the Terps from the arc and FT line!

 

[Ozimoto]

Win.
Win.
Win.

 

[AgStatesman]

Just a little bit of heart and toughness
over 42% 3pt percentage
lose the rebounding battle by 10 or less

 

[Tonyc]

Poise
Confidence
Energy

 

[JellyBean]

1). Smiles
2). Having fun out there
3). Enjoying their teammates and coaching staff.

These are the best years of their lives. These players are under so much pressure. Just go out there and play loose and carefree. Enjoy the game. The score will take care of itself.

 

[SJF]

1. Edwards and Brady on the block punishing the D.
2. We need more KK
3. 25+ FT’s taken(refer to 1 and 2 above)

 

[Gordo]

1. WIN
2. Truly compete on both ends of the court.
3. Caroline & Azzi regain their shooting confidence.

 

[Vancat]

1. WIN
2. Truly compete on both ends of the court.
3. Caroline & Azzi regain their shooting confidence.

Perfect.

 

[Shenandoah]

1) I want to see movement with a purpose, not just running through the lane to get to a different 3 point area. If Paige or Nika needs to hit a few people in the head with the ball (please, anyone but Caroline) to get their heads up, so be it.
2) talking on defense. No more "I thought you had her".
3) Amari get some meaningful, and productive, minutes to build on. She is going to be needed if we want #12. EVERYONE is going to be needed.
