Keys To the Game on December 17 (at Drake)
- Ball Security: Drake's offense feeds on creating transition offense by forcing turnovers. Which team can set the tone by controlling this facet will earn a significant advantage.
- Making Grace Berg work on Both Ends: The last game at the Knapp Center saw the Bulldogs dominate in the paint. Drake is expected to try to establish Berg down low, but the Bluejays must make it tougher by forcing her to work on both ends.
- Getting Maly Started: In Creighton's two losses Morgan Maly went 2-of-10 (Green Bay) and 2-for-13 (at #19 Marquette). While the Bluejays do not need 20 points from Maly, Jensen and Ronsiek to win, it is important to get all three firing at once.\
