Top 3 Things You Want To See Against Villanova On Wednesday Night

[BBallF]

After Sunday's breakthrough win over Tennessee, here are my top 3 things:

1) Defense, Defense, Defense- No let up in our defense as played in our last 7 quarters. Box out please.

2) CW to rejoin the party offensively by using her drives first, pull ups second, and 3s third.

3) Evina to keep shooting and AE to keep playing hard with both watching their turnovers.

There are many more that can and should be added to this list. February is going to be very exciting!

[veryolddog]

A 100 per cent healthy team with no injuries and a great positive attitude.

 

[MilfordHusky]

1. Caroline and everyone else healthy and playing.

2. Five double-digit scorers, led by Azzi.

3. Keeping Siegrist under 20.

 

[Tonyc]

1 Play with confidence and a smile
2 suffocating defense
3 fast ball movement

 

[Mrhoops33]

rebound
hit 3s
win!

 

[HuskyNan]

More of the same from Azzi
More of the same from Nika
More of the same from Aaliyah

Everything else will sort itself out

 

[Zarathustra]

1. Good Health to all!
2. Balanced attack, balanced defense, a balance team!
3. A winning team is a happy team! High spirits, fun!

 

[browns]

1. Defense as always
2.Rebound..if they can rebound with LV's they can out rebound all the teams left on they're schedule
3.great intensity like yesterday

 

[sun]

1. Build an early lead.

2. Distribute PT evenly.

3. Allow both of our bench bigs to play against the smaller Villanova team.

 

[Husky fanatic]

1. Continued improvement with TO’s
2. The Three Amigo’s(Seniors) all perform well
3. Caroline on the floor again

 

[eebmg]

1) Smother Siegrist like last years playoffs.
2) 10+ 3pt shots made from a diverse group,
3) Dominate the post on both ends.

 

[JellyBean]

More of what we saw Sunday.

1). Healthy players & players knocking down shots.

2). Players making great reads on the offensive end.

3). Solid defense.

 

[HuskylnSC]

1 -- Caroline on one wing
2 -- Azzi on the other wing
3 -- Villanova heads spinning like they need an exorcism

Take Siegrest out of her comfort zone and limit her touches and game over. They will be killing themselves trying to get her the ball so will probably make a lot of turnovers. Beating Villanova is as simple as that. Now, limiting her is tough. If we had MO Jeff, no problem, but we don't. Nika could probably do well, but has to watch the fouls. She's still shaky there.

 

[EricSD]

I do enjoy reading these threads - but for me, it's not so much "three specific things" as it is "incremental improvement on all fronts".

What I mean is build. To me the Providence game was a step back, regardless of who was available and who was not. That continued till midway thru Q2 in the Creighton game, then it's been improvements ever since (well, the rest of Creighton, and then Tennessee).

I'd just like to see that continue. Villanova is no slouch. They lost some games when Siegrist was out, but she's back and I don't expect this to be an easy game.

 

[GoUconn7961]

1. Smothering defense
2. Continuing to shoot out of slumps
3. A kinder chat room

 

[Ozimoto]

Continuing defensive intensity.
Building on the offensive improvements that were evident on Sunday.
Improving overall team health.

 

[Brewski]

1. Caroline scores 25 and blocks 3 shots to vent her frustration for not starting against the Orange Aberration last Sunday.
2. Fudd continuing to expand her incredible skill set.
3. NOBODY misses Fudd or Caroline "wide" open and ready for the ball.

 

[hoopingcrane]

Still fewer turnovers, fewer touch fouls and head down charges, get Liv the ball in the post where she can go to her left

 

[SJF]

The game get played, the game get played and did I mention the game get played.

 

[MilfordHusky]

1 -- Caroline on one wing
2 -- Azzi on the other wing
3 -- Villanova heads spinning like they need an exorcism

Heads spinning and exorcism seem to be more of a Georgetown thing.

 

[jpp13]

Honestly i just want the same energy and hustle from the 2nd half against Creighton and the game vs Tennessee. If they do that everything else will take care of itself.

 

[JBK]

Would like to see us get off to a fast start.
Let’s score 25 in Q1 ...
it took a bit to get going against Creighton and TN

you'll see her............jumping up and down along with the rest of the bench.....

Nika won’t play her well. Evina is a much better option and better defender in generl

 

[huskeynut]

In your face, intimidating defense
Control the boards on both ends of the floor'
No injuries

Last year's Semi Final in the Big East Tournament she was limited to 3 points went 1-10 (2 pointer) and a free throw. Most of the defense was by CW with some help.

1. Refs calling the game the same for both teams.
2. Full court pressure defense for at least the first and third quarters.
3. Out rebound them by at least 15 boards.

• Last game the team defense was nice to see, especially the help defenders. Keep ratcheting that screw. It's needed during offensive lulls.
• Get Edwards some looks in the midrange or baseline to build on her last outing and buoy her confidence. On this team and with that build and skillset..she's a unique weapon.
• I like the uptempo version of this team better. I think CW does too. I don't think she disappeared , just was more defensively focused and did a great job.

 

[Discograd]

ONO, Dorka, AE. 27 points between them. We need an inside effort long term. It definitely helps the outside game.
