Top 3 Things You Want To See Sunday Against NC State

[BBallF]

After the great victory against Texas, here are my top 3 things:

1) Another win;

2) Caroline to play at least 15 minutes and continue getting her wind and timing back:

3) Cut down on the turnovers and touch fouls.

Play hard and with confidence.

 

[Argonaut]

1. 80% or better as a team from the FT line
2. Aaliyah or Dorka with a double double
3. Azzi hitting a couple of threes in the first half

 

[Brewski]

1. Lou plays good defense and shuts up the nay-sayers.
2. We make NC State pay dearly if they face-guard Azzi all night.
3. Ines gets some quality minutes, not just mopup.

 

[HuskyinWRNY]

no injuries
a convincing win
no injuries

 

[FairView]

1. UConn "outscrappies" NC State. The team UConn faced in Bridgeport last year was scrappy, competitive and completely unfazed by the fact they were playing Connecticut in Connecticut. Their fans were also very vocal.
2. Crisper passing in the open court
3. A full-house of fans showing their support. No reason not to be there on a Sunday afternoon.

I’m like a broken record, but i really think this is key for us:

1. Caroline
2. Caroline
3. Caroline

The sooner she’s back to full strength, the sooner we can unlock the full potential of the team.

If she only plays limited minutes, we have to expect mid season performances from the front court. They won’t have the luxury of developing at the normal pace. Thankfully Nika’s already in midseason form and Azzi is practically in tournament game form.

How about no empty seats. Way too many Monday.

 

[ucbart]

1. Dorka to make layups with contact
2. FT's FT's FT's
3. Contain the dribble drive of Johnson & Rivers

I really like these, as I was about to post something very similar. In any event here are another 3 things
1. 15 plus minutes for Caroline, Aubrey, and Lou. I'm not a coach or mathematician but I'd love to see it. Maybe have Caroline play some 4 to give Aaliyah rest.
2. 15 plus points from Dorka. Rewatching the Texas game a little, she played a really good floor game. She boxed out well on the defensive boards, she passed well, set good screens, and had some great steals that were all effort plays. Id just like it if she found a rhythm scoring. She struggled a bit against Northeastern and as well against Texas scoring.
3. The Azzi Fudd show. Heading into the Texas game I thought they had no one to defend her. I sortve feel the opposite heading into this one. Jakia Brown Turner and Azzi have been battling since high school. Madison Hayes has been solid all season and plays with a ton of energy. And Saniya Rivers is athletic and similar to Hayes is like 6 ft plus. So they have options. But Azzi is special in that she doesn't force to much and gradually over the course of the game she'll find a rythm. It's interesting in that she's kinda like Paige in that way. Us fans will be yelling at them to shoot but eventually they'll both end up with 20.

 

[HuskylnSC]

1. Caroline fluid and strong
2. Amari fighting to prove she is a quality backup to Dorka
3. Inez hit 2 3's (meaning a big win)

 

[The deacon]

1) A capacity crowd with vocal Huskies fans drowning out whatever Wolfpack fans are in the house;
2) Azzi and Nika doing their respective things as tandem talented point guards.
3) The Huskies showing the same intensity and sense of urgency throughout the game that enabled them to build a 17-point lead over Texas.

 

[Stymie]

NIKA terrorizes NC’s backcourt.
Ayanna more minutes, fewer fouls
An injury free win.

 

[Conndog]

1) the televised game- don’t get SNY in New Hampshire and going through Fox Sports doesn’t work for me, hope the replay will be available quickly- thank you!!!!!
2) a win of any kind
3) Caroline getting more action & points

 

[Rb335]

1. Caroline showing signs of progress after nearly a week of practice. I don’t think we know our potential until we see her 100% and integrated.
2. Avoid foul trouble at all positions
3. Limit turnovers

 

[Conndog]

Hey, is the game on FS1? If so, I can watch

 

[LwrcasefaN]

I'm not greedy. Diamond Johnson with a one-day stomach virus. I know. I should be ashamed.

 

[hoopsfan22]

How about no empty seats. Way too many Monday.

Gonna be worse I suspect. Great idea to have a WCBB game at the same time as the Lions/Giants and Jets/Pats games.

 

[ctfjr]

No injuries
Better foul shooting
Blowout win

 

[faithfulfan]

Team needs more time together to develop the team offense in half court, so you don't need only fast break/one on one!
Last years team did this as those before them, that's why UCONN is a tough out in the tournament!
If this team does it, they will be a tough out for anyone, if the refs don't get involved like last year!

 

[Sam.the.Man]

Caroline ready for more minutes and displaying some of her talents that will help this team truly soar.

 

[Cornell Lt]

1. Win the turnover battle
2. 45% from 3pt land
3. 5 girls in double figures

 

[Ozimoto]

I'll add win the rebounding battle.
