After the defensive mastery of Marquette, these are my top 3 things against St.John's:

1) Start with the defense immediately and don't have any lapses;

2) Evina to go forward and not backwards after the masterpiece against Marquette:

3) Caroline and Azzi both to get untracked and score in bunches while on the court at the same time.

1. Turnovers are still an issue. 39 in the last two games. 39...... so, less turnovers would be great!
2. I would like to see Dorka kicking butt. She got hurt yesterday, hope she's okay. Would love to see a breakout game.
3. Quicker start. Beginning of game , oh, and the third quarter too.

1) make 3's and jumpers early to loosen up the Red Storm defense in the paint. Then, Liv and AE do their thing down low.
2) Nika get the right balance between aggression and control.
3) I wouldn't mind seeing Christyn go for the gusto & drive for the basket a little more often.

1. Limit the turnovers to single digits.
2. Aziz, Christyn and Caroline start hot and stay hot the entire game, shooting 65% > from the floor.
3. Hold St. Johns to less than 55 points.

No more then TWO Traveling Calls. Prefer zero obviously, but don't think its possible.
Evina continue her recent level of play. Probably the best she's played offensively since her arrival at UConn. She's looking for shots and making them. Don't defer to others when Paige returns.
The Seniors play up to their abilities.

1. a healthy and happy DORKA ( and a future report
that she is will definitely be staying for an additional year)
2. of course the previously mentioned limits to walks
and other turnovers
3. a continued team effort with Aaliyah continuing her
winter progression ( mind the 3 seconds!), and a satisfying
offensive game from everyone = the defense will take care
of itself. Go Huskies!

Does free Capriotti's, free Wing Stop, and free Panda Express count. Because I'm getting those comped for Sunday's Senior Day game from my casino host at the Santa Fe Casino.

1. I really want to see this team jump out and get a big lead in the first 5-6 minutes with crisp offense and smothering D.
2. 75% from the FT line
3. 10 or fewer turnovers.

1). I wanna see the defense limit St John's to less than 12 points per quarter. So Defense needs to be intense.
2). I want to see our 3 point shooters, getting at least four 3 point attempts per quarter....so let them fly.
3). Just a complete domination on both ends of the floor.

1. Someone returns her MIA 3-point shot to Williams. While she typically makes 2+ in the 4th quarter after the game is not in doubt, we need her to hit these consistently in the upcoming playoffs. I view her as a key to how far we go.
2. DeBerry bangs some people around under the boards. Don't need 6'5" 3-point shooters next year. We know she has a pretty shot - let's see her rebound and block shots.
3. NIka plays defense with her feet, not her hands. While Nika's overall play has been the best of her UConn career, she is always pushing and on the edge of making fouls. Doesn't do us any good to have her on the bench.
