Top 3 Things You Want To See Tuesday Against Butler

[BBallF]

After a gritty victory over a physical Marquette team, here are the top 3 things I want to see against Butler:

1) The return of the transition game, with Nika getting double digits in assists:

2) She's back. Caroline to build on the last game with a reduction in turnovers to only 2 and Aubrey returning and spelling her;

3) Aaliyah and Dorka to dominate, with Amari and Ay getting solid minutes and playing in the flow of the offense and moving with speed and purpose.

Happy New Year to all Boneyarders everywhere. What will 2023 bring? I only know this. Once Azzi and Aubrey are back and fully in gear, we are going to be a sight to behold. Go Huskies!

1) CFD NOT to have to ice her neck and head at the end of the game.
2) Griffin
3) Dare I say...Fudd? (for a minute or 2?)

 

[Bone Dog]

1. Even more Caroline -- that's me, the broken record

2. A little bit of Azzi, testing the waters, if only for 5 or 10 minutes.

3. A little more Amari, with those long arms in the paint, refining her footwork and building up her willingness to fight for position.

#1 is critical to our team. I couldn't be happier with her performance yesterday. The turnovers are going to go away soon. She just needs to let the game come to her. She is a great talent. Plus she has ice in her veins.

When asked after the game about getting hit in the head and the ice pack, Caroline said, "I'm fine," or something to that effect.

She is the type of player who could have the game that wins you a national championship.

After watching Bri's interview with Caroline's HS coach, I was hoping that her answer would have been "I needed an ice pack????".

If she ever gets an injury and surgery free summer and then an injury free year you will see All American numbers from her.

 

[DEpup]

1. Fewer turnovers
2. Griffin
3. Fudd

 

[Bigboote]

1) no more injuries
2) Azzi
3) Aubrey

 

[EasyEd]

1. Dorka made me nervous when she was down on the floor.... NO MORE INJURIES!
2. Edwards refinding her mojo. She's been great so far this year.
3. Continue working on reducing TOs. Only 2 in first quarter with Marquette, but 8 in the second quarter.

Inez drop a couple/three while Nika is given oxygen on the bench

Amari show good progress

The walking wounded be wounded no more.

 

[dtbtbtb]

1. No injuries - every game there is a scary moment with a UConn player on the floor or hit on the heard, etc...
2. A comfortable win with no starter playing more than 32 min. a lot of playing time for Amari, AP and Ines.
3. Aubry Aubry, Aubry...we miss you! I assume Azzi will not play in this game...

 

[MSGRET]

1. A Win
2. Aubry and Azzi play
3. No More INJURIES

I’d assume she would play based on Genos comments

For the first time since the Texas game (Nov 14) I'd like to see every player who started the season available to play. Aubrey should be available and fingers crossed for Azzi.

Two games against 2 of the weaker teams in the Big East (Butler and Xavier) come at a perfect time to work Azzi and Aubrey back into the lineup.

 

[Topdawg]

1. Keep the ball moving, keep the people moving. Motion offense with cuts, screens, passes and high percentage shots.
2. Keep the turnovers down. 10 looks like a good target.
3. Strong defense. Win the rebound battle.

 

[BBallF]

1) no more injuries
2) Azzi
3) Aubrey

That's it in nutshell.

 

[Urshurak]

1. No injuries
2. Limit turnovers (this has to be a point of emphasis.)
3. Easing in Azzi to get her warmed up and back in the swing of things. Aubrey too!

 

[Cornell Lt]

1. Shoot 55/45/90
2. 6 Huskies in double figures
3.. Amari DeBerry 10+ pts off the bench

 

[Tonyc]

1. Poise
2. Execution
3. Non Starters getting good minutes

 

[HopJim]

-DeBerry plays with confidence and physical presence
-Caroline consistently gets that ball when open on back cuts. Every game, she is open multiple times and often is overlooked
-UConn's offense never slows down. Most of the bad passes and resulting turnovers are a result of a stagnet offense where the defender can see where the ball is going at the same time as the offensive player

 

[maple]

1. Keep turnovers down.
2. Rebound/defend like against Marquette
3. For AE to bounce back with another big game.
3a. For CD to keep going!

 

[Inthepaint]

1) no injuries
2) movement without the ball
3) defense leading to transition baskets

 

[DefenseBB]

1. Aubrey and Azzi back
2. Less turnovers
2. Some kind, any kind of offensive game from Ayanna
