Top 3 Things You Want To See Monday Night Against Villanova

[BBallF]

Here are my top 3 things for tomorrow night. What are yours?

1) A win;

2) More of the same from the starters:

3) Azzi and Caroline to continue on the road back.

We have been playing great. Let's get it done tomorrow night.

 

[Jokerman619]

Azzi, Caroline, Nika, Dorka to bring the rain.
Audrey shuts down Maddie
A very convincing win. No injuries.

 

[UConnCat]

1) Good officiating. Villanova will be overmatched physically and will compensate by clutching, grabbing and hacking. See, e.g., last game at Villanova. Maddie Siegrist is not fouled on every missed shot and she herself does commit fouls.
2) Today's Aubrey.
3) Not today's Azzi.

1. A win
2. Everyone plays like today (+ Azzi scores more)
3. Shut down Maddie

No injuries.
A win.
A confidence-boosting rout by UConn.

Hopefully not today's Maddy either.

 

[Bone Dog]

1. Azzi and Lou score 20 each
2. Caroline plays a solid 20 mins, hits a couple 3s, blocks a couple shots and grabs a few rebounds
3. Nika get another double double.

Maddy not getting lucky on the indiscriminate off-footed balls she just throws up towards the basket. I'll congratulate her on her ability to score on well taken shots although I hope UCONN defense gives her very few good looks.

 

[Topdawg]

I stick with the same formula…
1. Tenacious defense and big rebounding advantage.
2. Control pace of game and keep turnovers down.
3. Make 70 field goal attempts. Attack the basket so you score or get fouled.

 

[Tonyc]

1. Poise
2. Energy
3. Confidence

 

[Zarathustra]

1. a win
2. fewer turnovers
3 continue to dominate on the rebounds = we outrebounded Villanova 47 to 25 on Feb 18th

 

[jfan]

1. Just win!
2. A worn out Maddie Siegrist from playing all 40 minutes in Villanova wins on Saturday and Sunday.
3. Great performances again from all 10 UCONN players.

 

[HuskyinWRNY]

More Azzi and Caroline
Solid shutdown defense
Resounding win

 

[Junkman]

1. UConn plays the same stifling defense they displayed today.
2. Continually pound the ball inside to whoever Siegrist is guarding and force her to work on defense. Cedric Maxwell would call this putting his opponent in the Torture Chamber.
3A. Caroline and Azzi shoot 40% or better on 3's.
3B. Caroline does not get hit in the head.

 

[NEforceUConn]

I got to throw some love to “Smooth Lou”. She has been huge for us all year.

 

[vtcwbuff]

1. Seigrist held to less than 20
2. UConn score 80+
3. MOV 30+

 

[MSGRET]

1. UConn continues to play like the last two games.
2. Azzi go off for 20+ points.
3. A win with NO Injuries.

 

[MattF]

Nika and others shut down Lucy Olsen, without fouling out. Without Olsen the V offense will sputter.

 

[f1f1ferrari]

1. A UConn win
2. A Villanova loss
3. Less than 15 UConn turnovers

 

[OrlandoFan]

1. No UConn injuries
2. A statement type win to continue building our confidence
3. Everyone involved, UConn firing on all cylinders

 

[JBK]

1) do not let Maddy get anyone in foul trouble.
2) continue to get every loose ball
3) 10 three pointers.

 

[GoUconn7961]

1. Stop Bella Runyan and Lucy Olsen
2. Azzi finds her groove
3. A win, even a 1 point win.

 

[Rowdy831]

Watching the defense against Azzi this weekend I noticed the same grabbing as with Lou only Azzi shook it off like a fly on her arm. Because she has always been that much better than her defender she has always been grabbed so she is much better at dealing with it. In this game I would expect to see more Azzi in the scorebook.

1. Hit some outside shots
2. Azzi has her almost in shots start to drop
3. Continue the shutdown defense

 

[Cornell Lt]

1. Hold Maddy Siegrist to under 25 pts
2. Win rebound battle by 15+
3. Less than 15 TO's
