Top 3 Things You Want To See Friday Night Against Stanford

[BBallF]

I'm still emotionally and physically hungover from Monday night and one of the greatest basketball games ever played. Still and all, it's time for your top 3 things. Here are mine:

1) Our bigs to have no cheap touch fouls or moving screens. Plant your feet and don't move them. Let the player you are screening for be in charge of running their defender off your screen.

2) Air tight defensive intensity with no lapses or miscues. Total focus each possession.

3) Paige, Azzi and CW to get those points again but with no misses from the charity stripe by our team.

-- like always: shooting, rebounding, ball security.

 

[CB360]

Make Free Throws, Solid, relentless D and a WIN!

 

[EricLA]

1. A win
2. A win
3. A win

Nothing else matters. It makes no difference if he plays 5 for 40 minutes, or 8. It makes no difference who plays well or who has an off game. If we have 1 more point than Stanford when the final horn sounds, then it's a good game!

 

[Zinethar]

My first wish is always no injuries and that got violated on Monday. I shall try it again and hope for better results.
1. Everyone plays their best injury free basketball.
2. The refs do not overly influence the outcome
3. UConn wins

 

[jabstep]

1.The nasty 8 shows the Big East is tougher then the Pac 10
2. Paith comes off the end of the bench and score 12 points
3. Nika doesnt get a single foul called against her but has 5 steals

 

[veryolddog]

1. No injuries to any player on the floor for both teams especially UConn
2. UConn to maintain their composure
3. A convincing win by UConn, at least by 20, so there will be no anxiety attacks in UConn nation.

 

[Zarathustra]

1. A Balanced scoring attack: inside and outside, high to low,
back doors, and three-point excellence.
2. Defend/ contain Hull and Brink, stress to all Point Guards! GO NIKA!
3. Offensive rebounds for us, many unhappy turnovers to them!
Oh,,,,,, did I say.... A win!

 

[Ferrarifan]

1. The refs need to call Stanford for the fouls they commit. A lopsided reffing job is fatal. But a "let them play" reffing job may be just as bad. We need freedom of movement or our offense falls apart. There are three teams against which we have been the victims of bad and lopsided reffing. Notre Dame, Stanford and Tennessee.

2. Liv needs to play tough D but also avoid foul trouble.

3. I would like to see us press to limit the time they have to run their offense. We still have decent depth to do this.

 

[Husky fanatic]

1. Olivia to take it to Brink.
2. we pressure their guards
3. defend the 3 pt line

 

[GoUconn7961]

1. No injuries
2. Make the open shots, they will be hard to come by
3. Limit fouls and turnovers
(4. Pray)

 

[Monte]

1. Make FOUL SHOTS
2. Give the ball to Paige
3. Set up Azzi for shots

 

[BlueSkyGLW]

1. Remain composed with bottomless resolve (stay on track to win #12 for the seniors and for the hometown girl)
2. Have no fear for you, as a team, are now better than them (the so-called experts are wrong for picking SC and Stanford over you)
3. No hesitation to attack Cameron Brink regardless of how many blocks she gets.....

 

[meyers7]

Would really like to see UCONN shoot better (50%/40%/75%), but I've been wanting that for awhile to no avail. So I'll just go with

1. Win
2. see 1
3. see 2

 

[hoopsfan22]

Drives from CW, lots of shots for Azzi, and for Paige to be aggressive from the start.

I am old school. Just one wish for our team

SURVIVE AND ADVANCE!!!

Execute

Confidence

 

[Stinger92860]

3 point % over 35%
At least even off the boards or slightly less
Turnovers under 10
FT % over 70%
explore some zone on D here and there

I know it’s 5, lol

 

[Ouremblem]

When CD is in the game, if a guard is on her get her the ball down low. It’s like stealing.

 

[RoadMaster]

Defense
Layups
Foul Shots

 

[nomdoux]

1. Play airtight BB (make layups/FT’s, limit TO’s);
2. Win post foul trouble battle;
3. Everybody eats— team offense (vs. standing around watching Paige show)
