Top 3 Things You Want To See Against Texas On Monday Night

[cgshuskie]

1. Win the rebound battle
2. Dorka going up big. She is a big girl. Still needs to learn how to dominate the boards. Needs stronger arms, upper body or something? After 5 years of college b-ball she still brings rebounds down rather than keeping the ball up. That just won't work in the W.
3. Azzi shooting at least 7 3's, plus good, strong drives to the rim

 

[sun]

1. Use our press effectively.
2. Effectively deal with the Texas press.
3. Don't give Texas too many foul shots.

 

[TeamFirst!]

1) Caroline healthy
2) Ayanna emerging as a defensive force and rebounding machine
3) Azzi to keep penetrating and getting to the rim or pulling up. We will need her to be able to create her own offense more.

 

[#1florida]

1) Lou getting revenge on TX
2) Azzi at the heart of stomping TX like she did to another group of oranges (TN) last year.
3) Caroline playing so well, the debate of who starts between Lou and Caroline heats up.

Lou will be very difficult to get out of the starting line up. And why would anyone want her out. I don't think at this point there is a debate.

 

[Forego]

1. no injuries
2. a victory
3. Nika and no

 

[Forego]

1. Our bigs stay out of foul trouble

2. Hoping there wil be three decent refs instead of three REFugees from a nearby Holiday Inn whose specialty is calling phantom fouls. Since this is a nationally televised game between two top 20 teams Texas 3/7 and UCONN 6/19 this should be an easy wish to fulfill.

3. Healthy Caroline.

 

[MSGRET]

1. A win by double digits

2. Caroline plays at least 15 minutes

3. NO ONE gets hurt

 

[Zarathustra]

1. Control game tempo
2. Dominate the pain
3. Play with fire in their bellies

If we " dominate the PAIN", I hope it is emotional pain felt by the Longhorns!

This is not aimed at you but rather the larger ”Muhl and her fouls” many posters. Muhl is obviously an extremely aggressive defender, she lines up ball handlers for steals and has very quick hands. To me at least, it is very obvious that aggression rubs off on her teammates and has a tangible affect on team defense. The downside of that aggression, especially going for steals, is being called for fouls; you can’t have both. She had three fouls last night, one of them what appeared to be an utterly ridiculous call on the 3 on 1 break. I say appeared to be because I did not see a replay so she may have done something after passing not apparent to me live.
Anyway, this generally is a non-issue to me, mostly because I think the upside far outweighs the down and I think she has shown she can play intelligently with fouls if the situation calls for it.

If you are a Muhl fan, you want her to remain on the floor as much as possible.
