Of course a win and no injuries but beyond that here are my top 3 things:

1) Aaliyah to enjoy the moment and to have a very good game.

2) A continuation of the defense of the last 3 games and above all else, the fun.

3) Keeping the turnovers under 10 for a second game in a row.

There are a lot of possibilities for us now so let us know your top 3.
 
1. A wonderful, memorable evening for Aaliyan and all her Canadian countrymen/women!
2. EVERYONE EATS! with the seniors taking care of business early and ICE and the Freshman
getting "mucho" playing time and experience.
3. A happy and healthy Holidays to ALL!!! Rest up for Marquette!!
 
1) Aaliyah to have a great homecoming celebration alongside her Canadian and Uconn family
2) Nika over the flu and none of her teammates sick over Christmas
3) Smiles and joy all around for the Christmas break, followed by sending off 2023 with a bang at the XL center!
 
So looking forward to this tomorrow night. The game is sold out which is awesome. Disappointed our Canadian sports channel only has it on their streaming service though. :(

UConn has an extra length break after this game. They won't play again till
hosting Marquette on Sunday Dec. 31. I bet that Geno wants them back
in Storrs day after Christmas...to allow for possible bad weather and maybe one or two
shortish hard practices to knock off rust before a meeting with a Marquette team that
can be trouble.
 
Continue to build on what was started with the UNC game.
Everyone stays injury free (for both teams)
Smiling faces and a demonstrable joy in playing the game.
 
1. Ice needs to play about half a game and be productive on both ends of the floor.
2. Nika continues to focus on her scoring
3. AE has a night to remember in front of her fans.
 
1) get Ice some confidence for the big games next - play her at least 20 minutes
2) play Amari for 20 minutes. We will need her at some point this season
3) Nika to practice driving to the hoop and dishing

Being a fellow Canadian fan, I’m super pumped about the game as well. Was disappointed to find out its only live on the steaming service tomorrow. However, I did read they are broadcasting the game on TSN 4/5 at 1pm EST the next day on Dec 21st.
 
There are a lot of things but if going with 3:
*AE to have a great game and make it a memorable home coming game for her.
*Ice to score in Double Figures.
*The freshmen to get a lot of productive minutes
 
AE to have a great evening
Nika feeling better and continue to shoot
Ice getting more minutes to develop..they are going to need her

Considering TSN broadcasted Kia's event nationally, I don't understand how they couldn't do the same. Heck, they made a great effort to have all of her UConn games broadcast while she was she was in the NCAA. For all the times they've asked Aaliyah to talk to them between games and different events when she's home, she deserves better.

Broadcasting the game at 1 pm is a ludicrous decision. If you work from home, great but what about those who don't or kids in school?

Personally for a network that says they're proud of their NCAA involvement, their efforts are severely lacking, especially when they could be showcasing great Canadian talent (men's and women's). Both they and SportsNet just see fans as potential streaming revenue, that's it.

Glad I don't live far from TMU and bought a ticket to attend in person.

Is Fox Sports blacked out in Canada? If not, the game is on FS2.
 
-More playing time for Q
-More playing time for Ines
-Rest the starters

Not sure if Fox Sports is an option with cable services. The rules on which American channels being available is a headache to figure out due to our broadcast regulations here.

It doesn't excuse TSN for not making the effort to make one of their 5 channels available to most cable viewers for a couple hours. Any money 3 of them will be showing our version of SportsCentre or a replay of something that could be deferred to another timeslot.
 
1. A great time for Aliyah;
2. Starters, except Aliyah sit after 1/2 time.
3. Freshman get lots of time together.

Oh I definitely agree about broadcasting the game nationally. It’s a real missed opportunity to showcase Aaliyah.

I can’t make it to the game in person as I don’t live in Ontario, so its sucks I can’t watch it any other way. I’ve always wanted to watch a UConn game in person, so I contemplated flying out to Toronto for the game. I unfortunately just couldn’t get the timing to work out.

I’m glad you got a ticket and get to experience it in person. I’ll live vicariously through you!
 
1. More minutes for Amari and Ines
2. No injuries....PLEASE!
3. Everyone just have fun and really take in the moment

Go Huskies!

And that's what makes me mad. There's a huge fan base across the country that would tune in.
 
1. Edwards to play well. (Sometimes those homecoming games can be an emotional wreck for players)
2. Bench minutes in the second half
3. Come out being on point from the start. I thought they waited too long to impose themselves against Butler.
 
1. Ines Bettencourt gets at least 1 Quarter worth of playing time
2. Amari DeBerry gets at least 1 Quarter worth of playing time
3. The TEAM has a Fun and Enjoyable Experience shared with Aaliyah Edwards

Is that common for that to happen or just for selective type events? I am looking forward to this game as well.

For me:

1). The Freshies to keep showing improvement.
2). Paige, Aaliyah, and Aubrey playing 24-28 minutes.
3). Less than 10 turnovers for the game by the team.
