Looking back at my top 3 things for the USF game, I was even more happy with how we played and what we did as well as with the result. North Carolina is currently ranked #14 as of today and has a lot of height. So here are my top 3 things for an even bigger test on the road:

1) Ice and Jana to have smart games without foul trouble.

2) Paige to take control again early.

3) A little bit of Azzi, if she is ready.

What are yours?

1) a Win! Just win this dang game, on the road against a ranked team, keeping the undefeated season alive!

2) a Big Win, like 16 to 20 points, but still a test for the team throughout most of the game. Building the squad’s confidence that even ranked teams, on the road, go down badly in the end!

3) a Landslide Win; enough that the coaching staff continues with the Ten Player rotation! Having a 30-pt lead at halftime certainly helps with that!

1. I like seeing players like Morgan and Allie in the game in the first and second quarter; when the outcome of the game is still in doubt. I hope to see that even though North Carolina is a step up in competition.
2. If Azzi is available, I hope she plays a few minutes.
3. This is a test for Ice. Ice was pretty good against South Florida. Well, I want to see a run of good games now. I want to see consistency.

3. A good crowd... Even though the game is scheduled for 6pm for some reason. A 7pm tip makes much more sense. Good luck to those entering Greensboro from the east :oops:

In order for us to win:

NO foul trouble by Jana and Ice. UNC has too much dominance down there.

Perimeter defense needs to be top notch. I have a feeling we're going to be missing Nika covering Donarksi. She made 5 3's in UNC's last game. She's a big threat. Our guards will also have to shoot really well, Ash might not be able to afford a slow first half offensively like against USF.

Must win the rebound battle.

Three things:
  1. A statement win against the first ranked opponent;
  2. Playing through any adversity and mightily counterpunching;
  3. A national coming out party particularly for Sarah, Jana, Ice and perhaps, Morgan.
Already priced-in:
  • Paige 3.0;
  • Sophomore Leap is real;
  • Sarah and Jana are the real deal;
  • Vaunted UConn runs are back;
  • Kaitlyn and KK are a good lead point guard combo;
  • Ash, the super sophomore.

1: 3 of our players with a double-double

2: all of our available players getting an opportunity to contribute in a win

3: Q showing why she was recruited by UConn

1-Ice is averaging 2 rebounds in 22 min--needs more
2-Keep playing Morgan and Allie, who've combined for 5/6 3-point shooting
3-Keep feeding Jana
