Top 3 Things You Want To See Wednesday Against Creighton- Game is at 7:00 pm at Gampel and is on Peacock

[BBallF]

After handling Butler without Sarah or Blanca, we now play at home against an improving Creighton team. Whether Sarah or Blanca or both don't play, it will still be another opportunity to fine tune the machine as March creeps even closer. With that said here are my top 3 things:

1) KK, Kayleigh, and Allie to shoot both 3s and pull ups when open.

2) Control the boards on both ends.

3) Keep the turnovers low and the steals high.

Do you have any?

1: As it's on peacock, I can actually see it.
2: Precision on offense when not all starters are in.
3: Communication and movement when not all starters are in.

STAY HEALTHY!

1. It's all about the defense!
2. We need Serah, Jana, to dominate inside!
3. Hopefully Blanca will play also Caroline getting 10 minutes and at least 1 3!

• Blanca and Sarah back and both at 100% health
• Jana to be better around the basket and with the ball
• For the team to work on areas of weakness - work on zone defense, playing as physical as possible without fouling, and individual improvements for everyone...

I am thinking the problem with Jana is her footwork.

 

[Monte]

1. Get a big lead EARLY
2. K9 shoots pull-ups when she is open in the lane
3. NO one misses a foul shot

 

[Zarathustra]

1. Steady progression for "THE BIGS"
2. Hopefully a return to action for Blanca and Carol
3. K 9 comes out in one piece! Channel that, girl!

I want to see the tried and true game stats. ( 1 ) Score 90+ points. ( 2 ) hold them to -50 points. ( 3 ) I'm anxious for Uconn to break their 3-point record and hit 24 3's. With Sarah, AZZI, Allie and Ashlynn it is most doable!!!!

Only one thing so far, someone tell ESPN when the game is scheduled to starts

 

[papanimmer]

ESPN has the game starting at 6 yet this post states that the game starts at 7. i'm traveling from quite a distance and if anyone can give a TRUE start time i would appreciate it. thanks

Game time on the official UConn WBB sites is 7PM.

Doesn't your ticket have the game time (assuming you are traveling to attend the game).

Would love to see Jana go after rebounds versus just boxing out one position and not anticipating where the ball will go. She may be trying too hard but she has had issues grabbing ball with two hands. Not sure how to coach this issue but if Geno can get her to relax, her performance will likely show great improvement. Skill is there.

1. Jana
2. Jana
3. Jana

 

[JBBallfan]

Would like to see Ayanna play more 4 with Serah W.

Continue improving
Poise
Turbo charged defense

 

[MSGRET]

1. No injuries - both teams
2. Everybody plays and everybody scores
3. Keep improving on both offense and defense

As for ESPN's posting of the incorrect time of the game start time, maybe they're doing it on purpose because it's on PEACOCK and not them.😉

 

[Ozimoto]

Everyone healthy
Everyone scores
Everyone has fun

 

[GetReal2day]

1. Blanca back healthy
2. Our bigs FEAST on this smaller team
3. Start fast and strong, then let the bench finish from mid 3rd quarter to end

Game time on the Peacock schedule is 7PM, so ESPN is incorrect as of now.

Yes, it's posted on the UConn Athletics Official website that it's at 7:00 PM Eastern

 

[Husky fanatic]

1. Jana nails a 7 to 10 footer
2. Ash doubles up her double figures
3. K9 hits a 3

 

[Topdawg]

1. Bigs progress in their journey to become dominant - rebounds and points. How about a cumulative target of 20 points and 20 rebounds!
2. Keep turnovers to under 10 a game.
3. 4 or more players scoring double digits.

We are flying in for the game, and all I really want is, of course, a big UConn win, but healthy players all around.

Yeah, I think the problem is not just in her footwork but at the opposite end also. Needs a lot of intense summer work on her hands, her footwork, her putbacks, her speed and her endurance. Having said that, the upside is tremendous.
