Top 3 Things You Want To See Friday Against South Carolina- Game is at 7:00 pm on ESPN

[BBallF]

So here we are. We need to be firing on all cylinders for this game so these are my top 3 things:

1) A fast start with Azzi leading the way in the beginning.

2) No cheap fouls.

3) A great bench game from Blanca, Kayleigh, Allie and Jana.

We knew this game was coming so I know you have at least 3. What are they?

STAY HEALTHY!
1. Many shooters scoring points!
2. Defense must be tough right from tip off to final buzzer!
3. Serah & Jana must be at their best!

Azzi going off for 27-30. That should be enough to get by South Carolina assuming Sarah gets her 20-25 and Blanca 15-17. It's now or never for Azzi. These are the last games of her college career, and hopefully she can make the most of it.

 

[my2cents]

1) Rebound
2) Grab the loose balls
3) Push the tempo

[GetReal2day]

1. We need Azzi firing on all cylinders - I am sure SC believes if they shut her down, they win.
2. We need Serah to play her best game so far and Jana to play her part
3. Blanca under control and raise holy heck (i know oxymoron)

It is get real time of the tournament-

Our signature D turned up a notch, making life miserable for SC.
Azzi aggressive.
Williams plays with passion.
I think Ash’s shooting slump ends.
Sarah and Blanca doing their thing.

Rebound.
Rebound.
Rebound.

South Carolina had twice as many rebounds as TCU. If TCU, which frankly didn't shoot particularly well, had been able to neutralize SC's rebounding edge, they would have gone into the fourth period with a lead. SC pummels teams with second chance points.

[ucbart]

1. Rebound
2. Shade, Ziebell, and KK to hit the shots they need to
3. Not play a "grind it" out game

 

[dtbtbtb]

1. Return to form shooting for Azzi and Shade
2. Control the boards
3. Hold SC to under 60 points

Azzi and KK aggressive on offense
Overwhelming defense
Blanca fuego

 

[Topdawg]

1. Limit their scoring opportunities: cause turnovers, force difficult shots, rebound.
2. Increase our scoring opportunities: few turnovers, efficient passing, good shot is better than perfect shot!
3. Be the aggressor: fast start, sustained pressure, move the ball, no standing around!

1. Giddyup
2. High percentage shooting night
3. It’s Jana time

High energy
Strong defense
Great offense

 

[Next 12]

0( 1 ) The biggest factor, The defense hold to their average of 50.4 points. ( 2 ) Ashlynn and Azzi hit their 3's , like I know they can. ( 3 ) Sarah and Blanca score 50 points in the game. That should be enough. GO HUSKIES!!!!!

 

[GoUconn7961]

I'm more worried about SC, and their desire for revenge, than I am about any other team they've faced this year.

1. Get out of the shooting slump (Azzi & Ashlynn - looking at you both)
2. REBOUND - No second chance points for SC
3. Smothering defense

Adding a 4th - get out of your heads!!

1. FINAL FOUR FUDD
2. FINAL FOUR FUDD
3. STAY HEALTHY

GO HUSKIES! I'LL SEE YOU IN PHX!

 

[Vancat]

yeah.
Final
Four
Fudd!

 

[Woof]

How about SC being called for some fouls?!?! They only got called for SIX against TCU. TCU shot poorly. Funny how that happens when the other team isn't called for anything.

We need our other players to just let it fly. KK, K9, Ash, Blanca, Allie all need to just focus and pull the trigger without hesitation. If they start scoring, SC will have to let up on Azzi and Sarah. Azzi and Sarah WILL BE FOULED A LOT.

We need to get back to the press and trap. If we are not the aggressor, the refs will surely favor SC.

If we go down, go down fighting!!!

Dawn Staley screaming "F..." at the end of the game.

1. I want to see Dawn screaming "F word" from the start of the 2nd Quarter...like last year... when she essentially just sat on the bench from the 2nd quarter to the end.
2. Ash coming alive and making her shots like she is so very well capable of.
3. Azzy raising up and playing like the Final 4 MVP of last year and the #1 WNBA pick.

• 40 minutes of ball pressure on their PG. Not going to shut them down, but we can speed them up a little.
• 
  
• Rebound
• 
  
• A few more drives to the basket to put a few fouls on them.
