Ines tends to get more quality minutes, in earlier if not longer total minutes than Amari. Right now, already, she is making a contribution in relief time that is likely to continue and increase somewhat if she ups her game a bit. Also she has a longer leash than Amari who, when she does get early moments, has pretty much a zero-length leash.

I think Amari's role could change drastically because the team's need for what she as to offer is so leveraged. If the lightbulb ever did go on, and Geno would be the first to notice that, Amari would be playing 12+ minutes per game instantly and regularly. OTOH Ines playing at her peak just doesn't fill in as much to what is needed; doesn't, for example, fill in much of the gap left by Aubrey's absence.
I hope you are right. The difference between top 8 and top could be one player that can negate a couple really tall players out there and more importantly free up AE to do her thing.

1. Nika to shoot,shoot,and shoot some more.
2. Shade to keep doing what’s she’s doing
3. Everyone does Defense,defense, and suffocating defense.

I know this is repetitive but it seems to win games.
Right now the most difficult of the above 3 is the "shoot some more" part. Nika just decided she didn't want to anymore after the first quarter.

Double/double for Nika (she keeps on shooting after the first quarter)
Quality minutes for Inês and Amari (defence and offense)
Continue to keep the turnovers in single digits

Geno won't let Paige get 40 points. This ain't Iowa, and he's protective of that 46 pt record.

seriously doubt that.
No one will approach the 46 pt record while Geno is alive and in charge of this team. KLS, Stewie, and Maya were all yanked in games where they were in a position to break that record.

Brady to start to exert herself as an inside presence. Use size to dominate on the boards.
Q to end love affair with the 3 pt. line. Better defense and become more of a scorer.
Amari and Innes.. make the most of and use your minutes wisely..

1. Ash please get to the free throw line more. You're pretty good there.
2. KK, break your steals record. You're the only one that can do it.
3. Q, don't miss a single switch on defense today.

1. a rebound advantage for UConn

3. Productive minutes and more growth from Ice, Amari and Ines

-No lazy fouls by Nika and Edwards. Not a big issue now but those 1-2 they take each game could be critical in future Top20 games.
-Q figures out where her sweet spot is for outside shots. If she can't find a repeatable location, don't take long 3-pointers.
-Geno tells Ice to drive to the basket 1-2 times each half, using her strength to make space for her shot. She appears to be one of the stronger players out there. Similar to Edwards her frosh year, Ice seems to need repetition to start feeling comfortable and make inside shots while initiating contact.
