What do we know about the UConn women after their 8-0 start? We know:
Defending national champs and no evidence of complacency. This team’s effort is relentless. #Maturity
This team played 4 games in 5 days and its play improved with each game. #Maturity
After 2 games the team loses its leading scorer and best perimeter scorer and a key player off the bench. In the face of this adversity, the team goes on the road and beats 2 ranked teams convincingly. #Maturity
The team has racked up 178 assists versus only 80 turnovers. #Unselfish #Discipline
UConn runs the best half-court offense in the country, hands down. #HardCuts #Unselfish
Dolson, Stewart and Stokes are the best frontcourt in the country and it isn’t close. Can’t wait for KML and Tuck to join them. #Versatile
Bria Hartley is on a mission, averaging 14 points, 5.9 assists and only 10 turnovers. No guard in the country attacks the defense in transition like Bria Hartley. #Pride
Stef Dolson is the best center in the country, hands down. #Versatile
Kiah Stokes is a completely different player this year. #Pride
Moriah Jefferson is an absolute pest on defense. #Relentless
Breanna Stewart can score from everywhere on the court. #Unguardable
Brianna Banks has been aggressive, great on defense, patient on offense, and a spark whenever she’s on the court. #Fearless
Saniya Chong has great instincts, is a great passer and can hit clutch shots. She has also proved that the recruit ratings services completely missed the boat. #NosurprisetoUConnfans
Lin Dunn should spend less time looking at the scoreboard and more time watching how well this team plays the game she loves. #BeautifulBasketball
