Top 3 Things You Want To See Wednesday Night Against Villanova At Gampel. Game is at 7:00 p.m on SNY.

[BBallF]

After a great offensive performance led by what Kara Wolters has begun calling the Three Headed Monster, we now take on Villanova at home. We have seen some incremental developments, some regressions, but the explosive trio are playing very well together and improving every game. We are only roughly 2 months away from the Big Dance so there are several things I would like to see. Here are my top 3:

1) KK and KC not to start the break by dribbling but rather by passing the ball ahead to an open man. Let's look to score in transition as much as possible. We have the shooters.

2) Aubrey to look even better than she did against Seton Hall and to get more minutes.

3) Morgan, please shoot whenever you are open, not only when you made your last shot. We may need you to drop 10 in a big game down the stretch.

What are yours?

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

1. To have the whole team of healthy players just keep the great vibes rolling.
2. Jana building blocks, improving more & more.
3. using the shut down defense.

 

[Husky fanatic]

1. Everyone eats again
2. Morgan and Jana continue to improve
3. Ash in double figures

 

[Ozimoto]

Build on the Seton Hall game with consistency of effort and offensive efficiency.
Swarming defense.
Everyone plays and plays well.

 

[cgshuskie]

Jana continues to grow and starts to dominate
Morgan continues to grow and shoots, shoots, shoots,
Allie keeps getting better and Hurrah for Aubrey's return
Go Huskies

 

[EricLA]

Easy and basic...

1. More Aubrey
2. Post players more involved in scoring
3. Continue and build on the stellar defense from Seton Hall
   1. 3a) continue working on the half court offense. Even Paige mentioned Geno challenged them after the SJU game to do better so it's not like this issue is some kind of mystery.

More from:
1. Aubrey
2. Morgan
3. Allie

How do you prepare when the teams in your league are so weak? I really think that UConn could put out any 5 and win the conference title and that is not going to prepare them for the big games.

1. Morgan and Aubrey take over the spot currently held by KC (they need to have a taller line up)
2. Ice to be more aggessive. She needs to show she can take over the inside when needed
3. Paige to have the same aggressive approach seen by Azzi and Sarah in the last game

 

[Zarathustra]

1. GOOD " HEALTH"
2. Have "FUN"
3. Everyone eats "stat stuffing" for their
pre-game dinner!

 

[Tonyc]

1. Continued Improvement
2. Shooting with Confidence and no Hesitation
3. Execution/Movement

So, for the 100th time, what solution do you propose? All the people grumbling about the Big East need to start proposing useful solutions instead of complaining time and again

 

[dtbtbtb]

1, continuation of the beautiful basketball we saw against Seton Hall.
2. Aubrey with at least 15 min. of playing time.
3. Allie and Morgan with more than 10 points each.

 

[JellyBean]

Pretty much more of what happened in that Seton Hall game.
1). Ball movement
2). Intensity on defense
3). Attacking mindset

The funny thing is, the complaining about the conference is pointless. It’s right up there with whining about the ‘bigs’. UConn’s first two final fours came out of the old Big East, which was far worse than this rendition, and the non conference schedule wasn’t all that great either.

What prepares the players for big games is practice. They are practicing to meet a standard and measuring themselves against it. I know this because I’ve heard countless players say it over the years. UConn lost to Notre Dame three times during Breanna Stewart’s freshman year, then easily defeated them in the national semifinal. Mostly, it was because Breanna Stewart got better during practices. I do think the non-conference tough games are a nice measuring stick. But they don’t determine the final results.

Since this thread are the three things I want to see:
1. Morgan and Allie continuing to get better, particularly Morgan on defense.
2. KK playing under control and being a terror on defense.
3. Aubrey easing back into the rotation.

The American was far worse than the Big East, too
