Top 3 Things You Want To See Sunday Against St. John's- Game is at 7:30 pm at MSG and is on TRU TV

[BBallF]

How fitting to end the season at the place where college basketball became a national institution, Madison Square Garden. It is so very significant that this regular season women's college basketball game was moved to MSG and I know there will be a big crowd there. I have memories of going to games at MSG dating back to the Holiday Festival in the mid 1960s and I will be there Sunday night. These are the 3 things I would like to see:

1) A real machine from start to finish with every cylinder firing.

2) A solid two player effort in the post from Serah and Jana.

3) No unnecessary extra passes.

After this game, plenty of rest before the BE tourney. What are your 3?

 

[Topdawg]

Keeping my list unchanged.
1. Continued improvement of Serah, Jana, and Yanna - both rebounds and scoring.
2. Limit turnovers. Take good shots, don’t always look for the perfect shot.
3. Get to the line more often and aspire to make 75% of shots.

I'd really like to see Kelis get more court time, especially in a blow-out. She can do amazing things but not sitting on the bench. Using Caroline and Ayanna late is OK, but they're not the future.

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

STAY HEALTHY!
1. End the regular season on the best game this year! Everything clicks!
2. Jana and Serah dominate!
3. Subs shoot a high % of 3's!

 

[siouxzieb]

Me. I’d like to see me at MSG, haha

But yeah, #1: a healthy exit. And a win. I mean or course

 

[ctfjr]

A focused team for 40 minutes, no matter who is on the hardwood
better 3pt shooting
less fouling by the bigs

 

[EricSD]

I agree with stay healthy. #1 is a bit of a criticism

1. Do better than 20-25 minutes of really good basketball. The team has stretches that, for far too long, are average play against opponents that should be much more overmatched.
2. Serah has 1 more game to show... anything offensive really. She's a really good athlete and solid on defense, but there's a reason she is averaging so few minutes lately (12 minutes vs. Villanova, 16 vs. PC, 12 vs. Georgetown). Based on our expectations, I'd say she's performed well below. Please, Serah, put it all together!!
3. I get that assists are part of this teams' DNA and that won't change, but hoping for a concerted effort to take the first good shot available.

 

[Maine1]

KK to be more aggressive and take open shots.

 

[BBallF]

KK to be more aggressive and take open shots.

They are going to leave her open in both tourneys so she has to shoot them. Going to be hard to drive against a team with bigs.

As for #2-I really think she needed another year here. It took her so long to develop moves without dangerous and unnecessary dribbling. She also had at least two wide open 15 foot shots last night and didn't take them. Why not? she is a very good foul shooter. She had a hard time adjusting to not being the center of the offense when she could have greatly benefitted from the much better passing here.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Sarah hit 24. 3 blocks, 11 rebounds, 3 steals, 5 assists.

Azzi score 27.

Allie score 15.

 

[Woof]

Well, I am trekking into Gotham to see this game so I hope it is a crushing defeat of SJU.

I am also hoping to see Eataly

 

[Zarathustra]

1. Sarah and Azzi continuing their chemistry with
each other and the team as a whole.
2. Jana and Serah having a "confidence" building
game... Both will be needed over the next TEN (10)
games. Do you read me??
3. Everyone Eats on OFFENSE, EVERYONE FEEDS on
Defense (on St. John's, of course!)

 

[Tonyc]

1 everybody else looking to score
2 crisp execution
3 confidence have fun

 

[Husky fanatic]

1. Jana with 2 shots from more than 5 feet
2. Ash gets an NIL deal with Eveready
3. Come out of the gate like Quick Draw McGraw

 

[Bills Fan]

Dare I say on this Board:

Less obvious frustration on the part of our Head Coach, both facial and gestures, over any less than great play by either SW or JEA. A little Positive Reinforcement works both in the world of business and basketball. His frustration has begot their frustration. It's too late in the season to tear them down; rather it's time, actually past time, to build them up.

 

[hoopsfan22]

Sarah Strong extending her 10 pt game streak!!

 

[Bone Dog]

1. Blanca
2. Jana
3. Blanca

 

[ME Husky Fan]

A relative clean game - low TOs
25-30 pts. total from Bianca, Kayleigh and Allie
Serah getting out of the blocks aggressive so she doesn’t get introduced to the bench before the first TV timeout

 

[Basingstoke]

In addition to the usual no injuries and a win:

KK and K-9 to both be aggressive and efficient as scorers.
Azzi and Sarah to both have terrific (& brief) appearances (I'm conflicted about this one as I'll be at MSG).
Serah and Jana to both be dominant.

 

[Tonyc]

I would like to see Blanca catch fire and take over. That will lock in our Big 3. Kayleigh and Allie play like they did in high school when their teams depended on them.

 

[browns]

1..Either Williams or Jana hav a Dominating game..or both
2 Sara and Azzi play their usual great games
3 as always Defense like every other game

 

[GetReal2day]

1. More Blanca minutes and production I would love to see the team start with her in the small line at the first tip.
2. Big game from Sarah - show why you are the POTY
3. Let’s start fast, no letup and no starters in the 4th quarter

 

[CONNCAN]

1. Jana El Alfy with a career performance game
2. Bianca with 20+ points
3. K9 with a Double Double

 

[Jalan2121]

Bigs show consistent effort on offense and defense.
Ash consistent offense.
Strong, assuming she feels better, more movement on offense. Seems to still have a nagging injury and or health issue.
