I hope you get to play a basketball game vs UCF, not a UFC match, as some games vs that team have been in the past.
Some games? Abrahamson-Henderson appeared to make fouling part of the game plan of every games against UConn and the refs did not call many of them, apparently thinking there were too many to call. Why wreck the game, right? In her second year she made a bid to become Tenn's new head coach. Thankfully that didn't go over.

Tough defense. Not being able to score frustrates the opponent which can often lead to poor shot selection and turnovers.
Patience and smarts on offense. Those cuts might not be as crisp as UCF has traditionally been a team that does whatever it can to muck up team movement.
Better free throw shooting (they should get lots of opportunities).

1. Hold Smith to her average of 10 or below.
2. They don’t become one of the terrible 2’s
3. Turnovers 10 or under

No change from the last few weeks...
1. Hard cuts and crisp, accurate passes
2. All-out effort every possession no matter what the score (getting all the 50/50's, pressing, disrupting, hands in the passing lanes, REBOUNDING).
3. Do 1. and 2. and you really shouldn't need a 3, but how about great shot selection.

If they are true to form, UCF will make this a rock and bottle fight and it will be difficult to make smooth hard cuts without significant contact. All passes will be through active hands. Dominating this game will require high intensity, but great focus and poise. Don't get wrapped up in "no-calls", UCF's philosophy seems to be that the refs won't call them all, so they'll set the tone early and establish a base level of "allowable" contact that favors the less talented team. If the refs come out and call it tight, UCF has no shot.

This team deserves respect, sure, but I'm more concerned with a team that is quick instead of one that likes to out-muscle their opponent. I don't think that anything needs to be changed from last game but always trust Geno to make the smart moves.

1. Azzi gets more shots.
2. Paige to continue to become more comfortable (more aggressive offensively).
3. Physicality and patient offense from the bigs.

1) Paige another step closer to being her former self.
2) Good consistent officiating.
3) A moment of silence by the announcers.......... Every other minute would be nice. ;)
