Top 3 Things You Want To See Wednesday at St. John's. Game is at 7:00 p.m. on SNY.

So the Hoyas were a much improved team already and will likely be in the mix in either the BE semis or finals. St. John's however had beaten both Wake Forest and Penn State before entering conference play but has lost 4 out of 5 conference games. Assuming Paige does not play, there are things that we need to see from our other players to get all of our pistons firing. Here are my 3:

1) No forces from either KC or KK when they get into the lane, kick it out or drop it down without turnovers.

2) Azzi to take another step forward and take at least 15 shots with 3 of them being pull up Js. That will mean at least 20 points for 3 games in a row.

3) Some more baby steps from Jana and a solid game from Ice if she is over her illness. Morgan has become a good sub as an interior player and Aubrey will be returning soon but we need the post game to improve significantly for March/April.

This is a process ( I really hate that expression but it is apropos here). In each BE game, if we get one more piston to fire, even temporarily, it will help us get to be the team we need to be in March.

Do you have anything?

1. Is Paige playing? If so, 20+ points and share the wealth (assists!)
2. Continued "smooth" Sarah and a "driven" Azzie: 20+ and some stat stuffing.
3. Defensive pressure: KK steals, Ash relentless, and everyone takes
another step forward with Steals and Rebounding.
3a. Q gets in the swing of things!

 

[Ozimoto]

Good spacing and movement on offense in the half court
Stifling defense
Everyone plays well and makes incremental improvements

This one’s easy.

1. Paige
2. Paige
3. Paige

This is what I’m wishing for.

Continued play and growth by Morgan
More Playing time for Allie
A greater growth and confidence in Jana

1. Azzi with another 20+ points game
2. Jana with a double double
3. I'd love to see a 10+ points game from Morgan. She does everything really well and clearly part of the rotation. Need a bit more scoring from her.

Honestly, I’d just like to see the darned game! I’m hopeful that those of us not in the tri-state area can watch more UConn WBB games next year.

You are not going to get a 10+ game from Morgan until she shoots at least 5-7 shots in a game including 2-3 threes. She defers too much but she is such a team player she doesn't seem to care. When she realizes she can help the team more by her scoring also than just by her floor game it may turn the light on. She is a physically strong player at 6'2', has a pull up J, a 3 and a drive move. It's one of the remaining pistons we need to get ignited. If it doesn't I will still take her doing what she has been doing so far. She makes things happen and has a nose for the ball. You can't coach that. Her having a big offensive game will do wonders for her confidence too.
