I keep reading that UConn can't shoot the 3 pt shot very well this year and they certainly can't guard against it. DePaul and Notre Dame smoked the Huskies and as a result, both games were almost lost..!! This is the thinking that ignores the reality that DePaul and Notre Dame led UConn for a combined 2 minutes and neither game was even close. For a change, let's look at the facts.
1. Opponents have made 60 three point baskets. UConn has made, get ready for it, 60 three point baskets..!!
2. Yes, but UConn shot more, right? Not really, 173 attempts for UConn, 169 for opponents. Four more...
3. But isn't Stewie the only one making 3's? Not really, she has 12 made threes, MoJeff has 11, Lou has 10 and Nurse has 9.
4. Katie Lou can't shoot anything this season, right? No. She has hit only 25% of threes, but 76% from inside the arc and 92% from the free throw line.
5. But, Chong and Ekmark have been a disappointment..? Not really, they have 7 combined three point baskets and a 39% accuracy rate. TLAW is 2-2 from three and perfect.
6. Well, Collier and Williams haven't made a single three all season. Yes, but they tried only 2.
There is hope for the Huskies this season. They can make the three point shot and can defend against it. Just wait an

Thank you David for seeing the "advocate of the devil" I was being --tongue firmly in my cheek.
I'd be a fool to dis agree with REAL facts. Thanks......
How about and analysis of the Maryland game??? Great game--close but never REALLY in doubt. Made the blood move
