Like Geno said, when you have a fourth scorer it changes everything. KC was in control against Nova, shooting the 3 with confidence, not forcing the drives but taking them when they were there, and passing, not dribbling the ball up court in transition, something that KK can still do much better. It looks like it's a new ball game for us, but Creighton away is always a test. It will be sold out and loud and we can't start slow. Here are my top 3 things:

1) Paige to start immediately on offense by being "selfish" with the ball the entire first quarter, just like Wednesday night against Nova.

2) Azzi to get at least 12 shots.

3) Jana and Ice to stay in the flow and both to "catch and release" the ball by taking baby jumpers when they get it below by rebound or by pass. Like Geno said there is no rule in Basketball that you have to try to make 7 moves before you shoot.

That was fun to watch against Nova. Creighton should be grittier, slower and tighter but if we play like the last two games, well.........

What do you want to see?

1. A "three-peat": 1. Seton Hall 36 - 96, 2. Villanova 57 - 100
and 3. Creighton ... fill in the blank ____________________!
2. Paige, Azzi, and Sarah have "Paige-like", Azzi -like", and "Sarah-like"
games.... AGAIN!
3. Dominant rebounding, speedy transitions, and frenetic defense,
Everyone has FUN... "Happiness is a WARM HUSKIE!" Peanuts/ Charlie Brown!

So far the Big East has done nothing to prepare UConn for the tournament. I am really hoping that Creighton can give UConn a 40 minute game and challenge the players enough that they need to play a serious game to win.

1. Azzi needs at least 12 shots
2. Morgan to look to score at least a little bit
3. Ice to continue to grow her game back to last years tournament level

Keep building on the momentum from the last two games.
I'd like to see the smiles and joy that was evident continue
Increased efficiency of the "second unit."

Since Creighton is a scrappy ball-hawking team like no other, all my wishes concern Jana.
  1. Lots of rebounds
  2. Lots of low post scoring
  3. At least one steal that leads to a solo fast break.

1) Continue to dictate the pace of play.
2) Have Aubrey continue to channel Clyde Drexler on the front of the break.
3) Have the rest of the front court continue contributing - no backsliding
4) Someday soon see Caroline at the scorer’s table shedding the warmups

1) Replace El Alfy’s 4 inch vertical leap with Griffin to take the opening jump ball.
