Top 3 Things You Want To See Tuesday, November 4th, at 5:30 pm Against Louisville. Game is on ESPN.

1. Sarah and Azzi look like the best 2 players in the nation.

2. Blanca makes several spectacular plays, with few turnovers.

3. At least 15 O boards for the Huskies.

Seeing that we all always hope for a win and no injuries I think that those are assumed. What might change for a particular game like this:
1. Dominate the game with great defense leading to explosive offense.
2. We begin to see specific combinations for things like pressure, 3 point offense, post domination.
3. All healthy players get the time they need to show their skills after the starters get their needed minutes.

Okay, I think we should leave it here for at least 10-12 games and perhaps then come back to it to see who is closer to what is happening at that time. I actually don't think we are too far apart.

Sounds good.

I know that all of you want to see minutes from everyone. But for me it’s;

22-25 minutes for Azzi, Serah and Sarah.

Aw, man, that would require missing 15 shots!

Not me - maybe I'm in the minority, but I want to see Geno's core 8-10 pretty much the entire game. Bring in the end of the bench the last 4 minutes, including Kelis, Carol, Gandy, and Ayanna (if we have a big enough lead). There will be plenty of blowouts to give more time to the reserves. In a big game like this, I expect to see 30+ for Azzi and Sarah.

Geno has said it, and it's been echoed here on the board - you simply can't play 14 players consistently and hope to have any kind of chemistry or cohesion. One interesting thing Geno did was to experiment with different lineup configurations, especially against BC. While it made for ugly basketball, it gave the staff a chance to see certain players grouped together.

IF he goes a core 10, I do NOT expect to see a hockey change at any time during the game. I expect he will have at least 1 starter on the floor at all times, more likely at least 2. I think his first 3 off the bench will be Kayleigh, Blanca, and (wait for it...), Allie. I think Jana continues to get limited minutes and may end up being the last player in the core 10 (I'm guessing Ice comes in before she does).

1. Stifling defense
2. Rebounding
3. Don’t foul like the men.
