Coach Aston needs to have the team prepared to play against the zone. And Brooke and the rest of the perimeter players have to make shots against the zone. If the team doesn't make shots they are going to be in trouble. Consistent perimeter jump shooting is still a major problem with this team.

Attack the zone by getting Ariel open midrange looks
 
Got a thread on the UCLA board about the Washington and Stanford wins but nary a word about their game with Texas today. Weird.
 
showed Coach Aston (looking sharp in pearls and a burnt orange blazer) and Ariel getting her foot taped. Almost time for our game! :hookem2:
 
I'm sorry but women's basketball should be ashamed for allowing Geno and company to rule (or ruin) the game. He collects most of the top talent (and there is gossip about how he manages to do that, btw) leaves the rest to be parceled out and diluted among the other top tier teams in the country and wins over and over and over. His teams are not even much fun to watch. Plus, their uniforms are flat out ugly. :soapbox: That is all.
 
UConn is just THAT good. It is a little boring to watch. I think they could play a pro team and kick butt. Well.....the starters atleast. Wasn't impressed with the bench players but then again they sat through the entire game without getting a chance to warm up.

Glad that they beat them by more than what they beat us by! Whose to say they won't top that!

The other coaches need to step up and improve their coaching on the offensive end of the floor. You're not going to beat a team like Uconn with mediocre offense. Coaches always tell their players to work on their weaknesses, these coaches need to do the same including Coach Aston.

Geno manages to get the "picks of the litter" because they are by far the top dog in women's basketball. Nothing nefarious about that.
 
Nothing boring about watching near perfection. If anything, it is illuminating as to what needs to be done to reach that level.

Agree, but it will not bring in new fans or casual observers when they flip across a 60 point lead in the Sweet Sixteen (or any game for that matter). After all, it is a competition and most people enjoy watching competitive games.
 
Ucla is playing a very aggressive man to man. I thought that they would play zone like they did last year. Coach Aston needs to have Lashann ready.
 
alright, had a scoring drought but kept it fairly close. six pts deficit is not much. Difference is 6-8 FTs for UCLA and zero FTs attempted by us.
 
Our guards have to value the basketball and stop throwing the ball around the court. Also, Kelsey and Imani have to do better.
