1. Better front court defense - The bigs (forwards) of Texas were 12-19 from the field. Though I don’t think NC State has the same kind of front court depth/skill that Texas has, every game is a chance to improve! (Side note: Texas scored 34 points in the paint. Better front court defense could cut down on that.)
2. Less turnovers and fouls - Kind of a two-in-one, but Texas scored 25 points off of UConn turnovers (16 turnovers). 16 turnovers isn’t terrible, but 25 points is a lot to allow off of those turnovers. Texas also shot 20 free throws, though only made 10. Still, giving a team a chance at free points while putting yourself/team in foul trouble can hurt in the long run.
3. As always, I want everyone to come out healthy! Let’s avoid any more injuries! These players put so much time and work into this and the last thing I want for anybody is injury.
Beyond that, let’s get a win and continue improving for March!
