Top 3 Things You Want To See Against USF On Sunday- Game is at 4:30 p.m.

[BBallF]

If, at Geno says, Sarah and Jana are only going to get better from here, in other words the BU game was the baseline, I can't imagine how good they will be by March. With that said, the half court set needs work by Geno's own admission, so here are my top 3 things for Sunday:

1) Ice to play a solid, turnover reduced game, getting into the flow of the offense without forcing.

2) Morgan and Allie to make at least 2 three point shots each.

3) Greater fluidity in the half court offense with Paige taking the lead and scoring early, not taking her first shot with 6:36 left in the first quarter.

What are yours?

 

[DEpup]

1. A few minutes from Azzi
2. Ice get the lay ups to go down
3. Paige score in the first minute

 

[hoopsdiva]

1) Paige doing Paige things.
2) No big drop off (offensively or defensively) when Paige is off the court.
3) Sarah and Jana proving that the BU game was no fluke, and Ice joining in the front court fun.

 

[Huskee11]

Full court press from the start, keep USF to 12 or fewer first quarter points

Double double from Ice

90+ points

Bonus - win the opening tap!

 

[Stagnant]

1. A more effective Ice.
2. Look better when paige is off the court.
3. Minutes for Morgan and Allie. I don't want them getting DNP's in this game; even if it is close.

 

[Bigboote]

1. No hiccups from Fox Sports

2. More good stuff from the bigs

3. No more injuries

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

My 3 goals for USF are:
1. If possible give Azzi 5 minutes
2. Jana, Ice, and Sarah control the inside game
3. Attack aggressively for the whole game not in spurts!

 

[Blond D.]

#1. better hands from our bigs.
#2. our bigs to have quicker, more decisive reactions in the paint.
#3. a better half-court game from everyone.

 

[Bone Dog]

My three things are always about who plays.

1. Jana gets another double-double.
2. Sarah gets a double-double
3. Ice gets a double-double

 

[Zarathustra]

1. Paige doing "Paige Things".
2. Quality "Big" playing, including all those " little" things.
3. Everyone getting " a little more polished " (timing, passing, full court press, and transition game).

 

[Bald Husky]

Next week we are at UNC, so the three things I would like to see against USF is:
1- Paige getting at least 25 points to stay sharp
2- Jana, Ice, and Sarah protecting the paint
3- Allie and Morgan getting enough PT to show that we can depend on them in a big game.

 

[Husky fanatic]

1. Defend the three
2. Everybody Eats
3. Jana continues to improve on defense

 

[Skeets]

1. More of what we saw in the BU game, but with a little more Paige and Allie.

2. A few minutes for Azzi.

3. Better hands for Ice who seems to have a problem catching the ball.

 

[NycUcWbbFan]

Three things:

1. Repeat dominant play but from the start and for longer stretches against better and more physical competition;
2. Better half-court execution, especially with playing with two posts;
3. Better garbage time play.

Already priced-in:

• Paige 3.0;
• Sophomore Leap is real;
• Sarah and Jana are the real deal;
• Vaunted UConn runs are back;
• Kaitlyn and KK are a good lead point guard combo.

 

[Next 12]

(1) JANA and SARAH get double doubles (2) ASHLYNN score 20 points with 4 threes. (3)Our new found bench score 30* points. Paige will always do what Paige always does.

 

[huskeynut]

1. Sarah and Jana continuing to control and dominate
2. The team chemistry continues to grow and improve
3. Ten players see court time and all ten score

 

[JellyBean]

1). Fullcourt pressure defense

2). Ice asserting herself on defense and offense.

3). Roughly the same balance of minutes for the players. I think we played 10 players and everyone got 10-30 minutes. Keep that same vibe going.

Let's go, UConn!!

 

[kidfrom360]

1. Ayanna and Caroline in warm ups
2 minutes for Azzi
3. No injuries

 

[browns]

Team chemistry continues to improve
Paige to be assertive this year every game
Double didgit rebounds for Sara and Jana

 

[Tonyc]

Poise
Energy
Execution

 

[RedStickHusky]

Is Josè still there?

 

[Ozimoto]

A 50/40/90 shooting day
2+ team assist to turnover ratio
Continuing improvement with "piranha on a roast" defense

 

[dtbtbtb]

1. continued growth for Jana and Sarah (double double for each, will be great)
2. Ice to remind us of the Big East Tournament Ice
3. Over 40% accuracy for 3's

 

[Majic Hands]

1 our bigs building on the last game

2 every available player getting minutes and being productive with whatever minutes they get

3 Ash doing Ash things

Note: I’ve read or heard that our brain really doesn’t process words like don’t or no. Coaching kids in softball I would tell the kids to hit the ball between the pitcher & shortstop basically where we actually wanted them to hit the ball. if you’re telling a kid not to hit to the shortstop they’re going to hit it directly to the shortstop.

I apply that concept when discussing injury.

 

[Cuango]

1. No injuries!
2. Ice to have a good game.
3. Allie goes off from three!

 

[Rowdy831]

Quicker reaction on the offensive end making decisions
I would like to see a line up that includes ICE-Jana-Sarah all on the floor at once
Enough time on the court to evaluate the new freshmen while the game is still in doubt

 

[hoopsfan22]

Did Geno say Azzi will play tomorrow?

 

[Cornell Lt]

1. More Sarah please
2. More court time for Allie
3. Jana with double/double

 

[OldSchooler]

1. No hiccups from Fox Sports

2. More good stuff from the bigs

3. No more injuries

For those of us privileged to watch the BU game on SNY, what were the "hiccups from Fox Sports"?

 

[Topdawg]

1. Production from Ice, KK, and Chen
2. Stifling defense for 4 quarters.
3. 25 3-point attempts.
