I think she will. It seems like she is more confident with each game. Some players just take longer to display their talents and, to me, Sanyia is ready to break out and become a significant contributor. I look at her as a shy person who just realized she is now a Senior who has finally matured in her thinking. Just in time.Will she score at least 20 points in any game this season?
I don't think she will but others expect her to because she was a scoring machine in High School
No, not at all. There have been plenty of successful UConn players who've made significant contributions without scoring a ton of points. Although UConn fandom, in general, is a lot better about noting contributions other than points scored, there's still a heavy emphasis on scoring, in the minds of some. And, in fairness, ya gotta score points to win.Yes. But does it really matter as long as the team wins?

But, DC's original question was a simple one (that, as we are wont to do, was taken in several different tangents). Will Saniya have a 20-point scoring game this season? I believe she will. I'm encouraged by her second-half scoring against FSU, on the road. We do have a lot of conference games where she should match up well, offensively. And, although there's a need to work Dangermouse and Bent into the flow of things, the overall roster is short, and the roster is young. Somebody's gotta be on the floor, who's an upperclassman, to provide that stability and leadership - Chong will get some of those minutes, and have scoring opportunities.
I agree, I don't think she's a scoring option like Nurse (as someone mentioned her "break out game). With Collier, KLS, Nurse and Gabby as options I don't see her reaching 20 pts... due to having to manage the offense as a PG.I agree with those who say that Saniya is important to the team and its chemistry. Sure, she could put up 20+ in some conference game, but I'm not sure it matters much in the scheme of things. As Gus just pointed out, what's important is if she comes through when UConn needs her most. One basket -- even one free throw -- could make the difference in an important game. I'd love to see her be the one who makes it.

Has Jefferson ever scored 20? (wondering)

No nice words? Was my comment inapproiate? I answered then asked a question of my own.lawd, thanks you very much for replying to that comment... I was looking for some nice words but couldnt come up with any.
will Chong reach 1000 Points in her career... I have no idea where she currently is but 1000 would be a nice milestone
Her page on the UConn site says that she has 556 points in 118 games over her 4 seasons thus far. Unfortunately, it won't happen.will Chong reach 1000 Points in her career... I have no idea where she currently is but 1000 would be a nice milestone
