Top 3 Things You Want To See Saturday Afternoon Against DePaul

[BBallF]

After a very physical game against Seton Hall, and a super-hero performance by Paige, here are my top 3 things against DePaul:

1) Geno got red in the face about our defense against the 3s at Seton Hall which we could see from our seats, so it would be great to see only highly contested shots from the arc by DePaul.

2) Ash to get back into the rhythm of the offense and more importantly, to get through the screens on defense so she stays in the game.

3) Q to focus on the defense again and to get out on transition and Ice to get back to improving the ball handling after a slight step back against Seton. For both of them, it was never going to be a straight line up but we are going to see a new break out game from Q very soon and more solid play by Ice.

Let's put this one away early. What are your top 3?

 

[Bone Dog]

1. Ice dominates
2. Q’s defense gets even better
3. Inês gets 15+ minutes

 

[Rowdy831]

1. UConn set tone defensively from the start
2. Paige to shoot about 18 times a game to take the pressure off the younger players.
3. Limit the turnovers to less than 10

 

[MSGRET]

1. Freshman (all of them) continue to get better.
2. No missing the bunnies
3. The Seniors get triple double's, at least double doubles.

 

[Husky fanatic]

1. Shade open for at least 8 to 10 shots
2 Nika doesn’t hesitate just shoot
3. Smothering defense

 

[huskeynut]

1. Defense, defense, defense!!!
2. Ash back on track
3. Continued growth of Q and Ice

 

[Topdawg]

1. Strong defense
2. 70 field goal attempts
3. Ball movement and 5 or more players scoring more than 10 points each.

 

[Zarathustra]

1. A nice "balance" of a lot of KK and a lot of Ash!
2. A continued "evolution" of ICE and Q!
3. " All for ONE, and ONE for all": our swashbuckling seniors
continue their UCONN chemistry: Aaliyah, Nika, and Paige!

Flowing offense
Paige putting up All American numbers
More action from the bench warmers
...and I would really like an update on Caroline.

 

[Steelerone]

Again, no injuries. And when we go up by twenty points get the subs in there. 1. To give them game experience and, 2. To give the starters a rest.

 

[HopJim]

-For reason's I don't understand, particularly in the 1st Q last game, Shade was wide open several times and didn't get the ball. Hopefully this changes.
-Nika often tries for a perfect pass when good is all that is needed. Beginning the last game with a turnover was a poor way to start a game. The issue is not the number of turnovers, which I believe is trending positively for Nika, but getting into the habits we need for the big games coming up.
-Nika to make 50% of her shots. She was hot in previous games. Would be helpful to see her start a new streak.

 

[Bigboote]

1) Ines to get meaningful playing time
2) Nika moves up several spots on the UConn all-time assist leader board
3) Ice schools the DePaul front court on how a big plays

 

[Monte]

1. Q continuing to improve her game

2. Aggressive moves on defense and offense RIGHT FROM THE START

3. Paige takes charge for the complete game

 

[Cornell Lt]

1) UConn +50% from behind the arc
2) Hold DePaul to less than 35% from behind the arc
3) Freshman contribute +35 points

 

[kidfrom360]

1. Come out with Intensiyt
2. Ashlyn and Ice in double figures
3. Nika back to knocking down 2-3 Three's

 

[Cornell Lt]

1) UConn +50% from behind the arc
2) Hold DePaul to less than 35% from behind the arc
3) Freshman contribute +35 points

Huskies shot a dismal 21% from 3 :-(
DePaul shot 28 from 3 ;-)
Freshman scored 34 ;-(
