As hoped and expected, our defense became reanimated and lethal against Maryland and Paige took command. Remember that a win and no injuries are automatically included. Here are my top 3 other things against Minnesota:

1) Paige to have a great Homecoming Game.

2) Play that same defense in an away game with the same intensity and energy.

3) Caroline. Please find yourself out there. We are all pulling for you.

What are your top 3?

1) Minnesota plays like a basketball team rather than a hockey team
2) Paige being Paige, only moreso
3) This is a given, but it'll be good to see Dawn Plitzuwhite at the helm of a P5 team. Her coaching also makes 1) above pretty likely.

1. Paige sets the tone early in the game
2. Ice gets more time in with AE
3. All the players continue to attack the basket

I still think they will have opponents that will require a taller line up so they need to develop Amari to the point where she can contribute in those game.

1. 30 ++ points by the " FOUR FRESHMAN "
2. Amari DeBerry 6' 6" dominates Sophie Hart # 52 6'5."
3. Azzi "rests up" with some quality " R & R" while the other upper
classmen take " ownership" of the team's play! Go Huskies!!

1--- Paige and Edwards to play like their past ALL-American status or better.
2--- Azzi and Caroline to play., and to play like All-Amercian caliber players.
3--- The remainder of the team overall "shoot the ball well."

I want to see more of the freshmen. That’s a given. But for this specific game I want to see the following players have breakout games:
Aaliyah
Caroline
Azzi

1. The physical and aggressive defense we saw against MD - without Paige tossing a players over her shoulder
2. More Ice, KK, Ash and Q
3. Control the boards on both ends

The three things I want to see are:

1). Like everyone so far, I want to see UConn playing that same aggressive defense.
2). Players playing loose and carefree. Don't overthink. Just play and have fun out there.
3). Uptempo play. Bring that Maryland pace to the Barn. Push the tempo.

1. Penetration and shooting by all guards including Nika.
2. Under 12 turnovers.
3. Less inside dribbling by Edwards, more straight up inside shooting
4. More baseline drives by KK Arnold. (sorry for the fourth but she is a handful!)

AE and Nika setting the tone for defensive play.
Same amount of PT for the frosh.
Paige being Paige.

BTW Does anyone know where we can get a general rundown on MN's team?

1. Paige to dominate!
2. WIN
3. Everyone play well with no injuries.

I don't care about turnover stats in general, because they can be so misleading.
