Top 3 Things You Want To See Saturday At USC- Game is on Fox at 5:30 pm.

[BBallF]

Strong effort against DePaul but USC will be looking for an upset at home so we have to be ready. Here are my top 3 things:

1) Whether up by 20, down by 10 or tied, a third quarter that is fifth gear, relentless and statement worthy.

2) More Blanca and Kayleigh coming in and creating havoc on defense and driving and hitting 3s.

3) Jana and Serah to combine for 20 not 19, and to get 10 boards this game.

What are yours?

 

[kidfrom360]

1. A strong defensive plan to completely take Jazzy out of the game.
2. Us to shoot a minimum 20 3's and make at least 9 of them.
3. K9 to have a great game in her return back to USC.

Go Huskies!

Watched USC v Washington last night. Both teams struggled to score points, and their defenses were not great. Other than Davidson, SoCal doesn't have much. I smell another blow out, no jinx!

 

[GoUconn7961]

1. No injuries for either team
2. Absolutely smothering defense
3. A decisive win

DOOMED!!!

 

[Next 12]

( 1 ) The defence to control the game, ( 2 ) The bench to score like they have in the last three games. ( 3 )A decisive win.

 

[Charliebball]

USC is probably the most athletic team UConn has played so far this season.....I want to see them continue implementing that lock down defense, hit their threes and control the boards......ultimately, I just want a win and no injuries!

 

[WBBZen]

USC starts slow - Jazzy can take a half to really get going. I think the UConn press is really going to disorient them.

1. Come out strong, build up a good lead in the 1st quarter and maintain that lead
2. Dominate the paint
3. Limit Jazzy

 

[DemonDeac22]

During Geno’s presser after the DePaul game he implied that he wants 1/3 of the shots taken to be 3-pointers.

Let’s see that, keep up the tough defense all game long and limit Jazzy by making her give up the ball.

 

[Tonyc]

Poise
Energy
Confidence

 

[DEpup]

1. Shutdown Jazzy and make someone else score
2. KK and company just harass Londyn Jones and make her unable to initiate offense
3. 4 quarters of efficient offense

 

[Shorty Dee]

I want to see them play UConn ball.

1. Lockdown defense
2. Cut down on the turnovers
3. Make more shots than they miss
4. Cut down on the ill advised passes and plays
5. HAVE FUN

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

TO STAY HEALTHY
1. Keep perfecting that awesome defense
2. To shoot at least 45% from 3 point land and Caroline to hit 2 3's
3. All 13 healthy players get PT

 

[Monte]

1. K-9 continuing to show her moves
2. Caroline to throw in a 3 pointer
3. No injuries

 

[Bone Dog]

1. Kayleigh shows out
2. Serah dominates inside
3. Blanca runs wild

 

[huskeynut]

1. DEFENSE!!! No letup .
2. Efficient offense with 3 scorers in double figures.
3. Control the boards.

 

[Ozimoto]

Improved free throw shooting
A complete four quarter effort
Continued meaningful contributions from the bench

 

[WiseWillie]

Dominent TRB
4Q of suffocating D with precise, on-time switches (whether in 1 on 1 or zone)
No injuries (on either team)

 

[Inthepaint]

Serah & Jana outwork USC frontcourt
Ash & Allie multiple 3’s
Hungry defense in the 4th quarter

 

[Gael]

1. Hold USC under 60 points.
2. Shoot 85% on layups and free throws.
3. Geno plays Q, Z and K9 more collective minutes than Serah, Ash and KK.

No injuries for either team.

 

[Majic Hands]

1: win each quarter by a minimum of 5
2: first 7 players generate stifling defense that the game is put away by the end of the 3rd quarter
3: Jana & Serah only players needed for the center position. (I know, Geno will play some small ball)🙄

 

[Zarathustra]

1. UCONN breaks Southern Cal's HOME GAME WINNING STREAK.
2. UCONN silences the (expected?) sold out L.A. Galen Center.
3. Assuming Jazzy Davidson could have a Syla Swords type
of game.... THE HUSKIES COME OUT WITH A DECISIVE
win against another TOP 10 RANKED team.... ON NATIONAL T.V.
GO HUSKIES... Everyone EATS!

 

[ctfjr]

Caroline gets to play 20 minutes.

 

[Basingstoke]

No injuries and a win...
Contain rather than stop Jazzy - do not distort UCONN'S normal defensive approach as no one else can hurt us unless we over commit to her.
Press and go off to the races.
Relax and everyone hits their shots.

USC is not in the top 10...ranked #16

 

[browns]

1) Great D as always
2) who covers the 6'1" Jazzy..Blanka at 6'2" would be a good choice but I don't think she's ready to start
3) K9 just play her game an not get too hyped playing her former team

 

[Husky fanatic]

1.Ash comes out smoking hot from 3 and mid range
2. The stars are shining tonight
3. Show the disparity of #1 vs #16

What are yours?

Ditto on Blanca and Kayleigh. If the subs hit a reasonable % of 3's, UConn is difficult to beat. While USC is a level above teams like DePaul, we know the effort and defensive commitment will be the same.

Interesting point on Jazzy. Was just watching some older, 2002 vintage videos on UTube and Geno went with a zone much more often. Could this be a game when instead of trying to shut down specific players one on one that he switches up the defense?

 

[meyers7]

1. K-9 continuing to show her moves
2. Caroline to throw in a 3 pointer
3. No injuries

If CFD gets in the game, that will be a good omen.
