Geno Auriemma's team will take on Army at 4 p.m. ET.

After two consecutive wins against the Syracuse Orange and Texas Longhorns, the UConn Huskies women's basketball team will finish up its exhibition slate on Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. ET against Army.

After games at Mohegan Sun Arena (Uncasville) and PeoplesBank Arena (Hartford), the Huskies return home to Gampel Pavilion for the first time in preparation of the home opener on Nov. 2 against Cornell.

The Huskies are 2-0, but there are still plenty of things to watch for in Sunday's finale.

Can the Huskies stay focused and on task?

We all expect UConn to win this game. That's not really a question. We know that UConn is better than Army, but can they play like it? Or, do they play down to the level of their competition?

The Huskies are not just a machine and they don't win by 50 just by stepping on the court, but after beating Syracuse by 28 and Texas by 22, you'd like to think they have the ability to blow Army out.

In order to do that, they'll have to stay fully engaged for a full 40 minutes, regardless of which lineup combinations are on the floor.

One final test for the freshman

Jovana Popovic of Serbia has taken the preseason by storm, going for 10 points against Syracuse and 22 points against Texas. What does she have in store for this one?

Is she able to play well enough again to solidify a starting role when the season begins, or does she show the first signs of freshman inconsistency? 

And how about Olivia Vukosa? The No. 2 recruit in the Class of 2027 had 10 points in the exhibition opener but none in the follow-up game. Given that Army is a program not expected to compete with the Huskies, you'd think this is the kind of game where her size could play well.

We'll look for her to get big minutes, but can she get big productivity?

Everyone stay healthy

When you're talking about the preseason in any sport, you're talking about making sure players can get to the regular season. It's that simple.

Sarah Strong, KK Arnold, Allie Ziebell, et all. You want to see them get their work in, get their reps in and then get out of the game with no aches that will prevent them from playing eight days from now.

Blanca Quinonez and Marine Dursus have battled injury all preseason. You don't need to add any more to the list.
