Top 3 Things You Want To See Against South Carolina On Sunday

[caseyb7]

No high elbows.

South Carolina is SOOOO tall that they often swing elbows when clearing the ball often smacking shorter opponents in the jaw.

Sometimes SC gets called if there is hard contact to an opponent. When I've watched them it seems to be an effective tool which they are not shy to use to their advantage.

With our aggressive defensive style I expect UConn to be tight in their face to have any chance of winning - if so, I think we will get smacked often unless the refs are watching out for high elbows.

South Carolina is so tall and so deep that this is a hard match-up, we just can't afford more concussions.

1. Cut down turnovers. Do not force passes down low.
2. Take quick shots after a screen - mid range and outside. Only drive or cut if there is a clear opening. Keep the ball and players moving on offense.
3. Draw fouls and get to the line.

1)Box out and rebound ..Dorka said rebounding is about effort(of course it helps if your 6'5" Boston with 6'7" and 6'5" coming off the bench)
2) constant half court motion..no standing around
3)low amount of to's for the first time this year

Box out...then rebound. (this takes points away from SC without actually playing defense).

Play some zone (box and one).

Slow the tempo and make SC play defense for more than 20 seconds.

I prefer Nika to start out. Send Aubrey to the boards.

A cleanly played game. No bumping and grabbing on every play.

Lou and Aaliyah hitting their shots.

No foul trouble for UConn

Absolutely for all three with the caveat that the officials actually officiate and call fouls.

I’m with you on all three. We’ll wished!

But I am puzzled. SC doesn’t have anyone 6’5” coming off the bench. I realize Amihere has been growing in the imaginations of many BYers lately, but she’s hardly a bruiser, more a speed finesse type of player. She is listed at 6’4” and she’s long. Of course, Cardoso is legit huge.

Need to watch foul trouble. We all know SC is very athletic - big and Fast. When they get offensive rebounds, their usually is a foul coming

The last time we won against South Carolina we were out rebounded by 13 but still managed to pull out a victory due to Paige’s heroics. Unfortunately, we don’t have a Paige…

1. Rebound
2. Rebound
3. Keep the rebounding margin within 5-10
