What UConn needs to do to win the BE

[Tonyc]

Re------------Bound and Stay out of foul trouble

If everybody does what theyve been doing and we stay out of foul trouble and rebound we should win it all. The game should go for the NCAAs

Stef most importantly needs to stay out of early foul trouble. With Stef on the floor the presence is there in the middle. KML is another one that needs to be on the floor. The treat of KML from the outside and her ability to take opponets one on one inside needs to be there. We have seen her lately post opponets up down low . We need that.

We lost to ND at the line and in rebounds. No need to say much more.

In the NCAAs we continue that trend and we should be fine. Keep'em off the line and off the boards.

The simple answer is never let the opponent score.

 

[Fiftyish]

The simple answer is never let the opponent score.

Or, just score more than the opponent.

Tony,
If everyone continues what they have been doing they will turn the ball over 20 times, get outrebounded and play 3 on 5 offense.

I want to see more raw intensity from this team. Something like this:

Or this:

Maybe this:

Defnitely this:

UConn has to improve in three areas:

1. rebounding

2. reduced turnovers

3. closing out games

Vt, you are more pessimistic than necessary. Unlikely that the staff will not address those issues that have been clearly articulated and are clear to anyone short of blind or deaf.
I foresee a much better brand of BB for the next few days.
If it comes down to Notre Dame again, its a toss-up; the Irish are still darned good and have the pieces in place.

Rebounding, and come in the game with an attitude no more losses this year in OUR HOUSE. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. They have to maintain that intensity for the whole game and while they're at it stay out of foul trouble.

 

[Sonny44]

I say we outside shooting and need balanced scoring fom our starters!

 

[magical2]

Props Alex Loved your pics and the EYE OF THE TIGER! That is what we need for 40 + minutes every game and practice.
What I saw coincidentally was a group of UCONN icons AAs,National Champions,and representative of Womens BB!

 

[Icebear]

Or, just score more than the opponent.

That is a much more tentative situation.

Yep, those have been the weak spots. It will help to have all three. They need 1 and/or 2. They definitely need 3. Who can hit the clutch shots in the last 5 minutes in a close game? Trust the freshman!

 

[~*Jen*~]

They need to lose those ugly-butt unis.

I might see if mini mojo chick can watch the entire game.

In the games they have lost, they have also failed to get stops late in the game when they needed them. They have to change that.

 

[mr006]

Win three games.

Nothing says aggression like Taurasi punching that damn orange backboard post!

A whole lotta ths:

Sorry msf22b but you missed the point by a mile.

What UCONN needs to do to win the BET... is hope that ND falters. i say this with love in my heart, but this UCONN team is simply not as good as ND this year. Geno has said it many times lately - the team has no fight in them. they get punched and they back down. ND is mentally and physically tougher than UCONN this year.

i'm not saying UCONN can't win, but it would take an A game from UCONN and an A- or B+ game from ND. in the past, it's always been the opposite. not this year. Can they go on a run and win? sure anything is possible. but i'd not bet on UCONN winning the BET or NCAA this year. next year, however, totally different story. i'di not bet against them, even once....
