1. Tough/aggressive deny defense
2. Great shot selection / no reluctance to shoot when open by Nika and Aubrey.
3. UConn get off to a fast start / play with a sense of urgency. Don’t take their foot off the gas.

• Team >40% from three
• 80% assisted buckets
• Evina/Anna both healthy and rested

 

[MD#12Fan]

When players get shots they can make, shoot them! With conviction! No hesitation. Crash the boards. Worry about the consequences later. Make the easy pass. Less turnovers. Make the easy play and things will open up for the assist.

ONO and CW continuing their aggressive play
Nika learning to take pull-ups when given the opportunity
Appearance by Anna, even for a few minutes

You are spot on about Nika. Her last two drives ended in turnovers when she could have easily stopped and shot at 8 -10 feet out. We know she has the shot because she let it fly from the elbow when she had 19 and it was all net.

 

[Blue Ghost]

1. Evina healthy and playing
2. CW hitting from 3
3. Team improving their free throw percentage

 

[Zorro]

1) The whole team step up, take leadership roles, give 110% and leave nothing on the court.
2) play aggressively, but be patient and play within their abilities and let the game come to them.
3) remember that they are UConn. It says so right there on their shirts!

 

[MuchoDogYears]

CW driving to the basket instead of shooting 3’s.

PB shooting > 60%.

Ono continuing to build her game. She’s becoming an impact player, recently checking all the boxes on the stat sheet.

 

[Bigboote]

Pound the ball inside — assists, assists, assists
Anna plays and doesn’t aggravate her injury
Players are loose and appear rested

 

[JSB60]

1. A win
2. No injuries
3. Both 1 and 2
