What To Look For Today

[jibsey]

I'm going to be looking to see if Omar can continue to be an offensive force and hit shots. It would be a big thing for our rotation going forward.

 

[UConnSwag11]

a full 40 defensive effort... we should put them away early...also iso-ing miller on the block and let him go to work or kick it out

A great start, come out with energy and passion and efficiency. Play against them as if they were anyone else, not a bunch of show boating alley oops which don't connect etc etc.. Run offense when sets are needed, get good shots and a lot of Adams and Gibbs together and interior passes to Shonn. Defensive intensity, getting through picks, talking and boxing out - rebound rebound rebound everyone. And some outlet passes to get out and run.

I think you covered most of it. Just win.

I love this. Felt like last game was the first time we tried to establish him early. I want this to be the game plan every game. It will open up driving lanes for our guards, and also give us 3 point opportunities.

Another thing and expected from me - AB gets a couple jump shots and also gets off a couple jump hooks. Need to work on this against smaller teams so he's capable later or at some point.

 

[AZHuskiePop]

I just want to get this game over with with a win.
I hate the first game after finals,it has a history of being ugly
If your looking for a huge growth spurt than you most likely will be disappointed..

I'm looking to see Gibbs get his confidence back from long range, and Adams continue to grow as our PG. Oh yea, I'd also like to see Purvis not brick his damn free throws.

 

[Husky25]

Shake off the Finals rust and give a full 40 minute effort.

Things that are certain to happen;

Taxes, death, Purvis 50% from the line.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Continued refinement of the rotation. Adams has to force the issue and make sure he gets his 20-25 minutes. 80 minutes to divide up between three players- Gibbs, Adams and Purvis.

Calhoun and Hamilton at the three- 40 minutes there to divide up.

Miller, Brimah and Facey at the 4/5. 80 minutes there. If needed get Enoch some minutes. Phil is Phil and he will be the same player in March as he is now. Developing Enoch is a priority for me. Even if it's a 3-4 minute stint each half. Get him in to games and get him on to film so he can learn.

 

[Yankees32123]

I want Purv to hit all his free throws.

 

[3rdbass]

With no AB I hope to see alot of SE. He needs some minutes to help with developing especially on the defensive side of the ball.

 

[RichZ]

Given AB's absence, I'm looking to see Nolan (Remember him? Started on a championship team.) start, but for Facey and Enock to get at least 15 minutes apiece. And to be productive.

 

[mauconnfan]

Interesting, do we see Jalen or Kentan in the first 5? Maybe Omar after his last game?

 

[minidarren]

Rodney making me proud from the line!
