No mention of Kaitlyn Chen? Where is the love? She was a steady, intelligent, point guard. Rarely turned the ball over. I'm not sure she has been replaced yet. She was a perfect fit last year. And WNBA ready. You may name others who may have the potential of Chen, but nobdy is playing at her...

In the first quarter, Michigan missed a lot of shots, which led to UConn fast breaks. When Michigan started making their shots, they could then set up their defense.

UConn's supporting cast, sans Strong and Fudd, are not quite ready for prime time. Looked nervous. 3-pt shooting, Azzi 7 for 12, rest of Team 3 for 18. Azzi and Sarah 47 points, rest of team 25 points.

The appropriate stat would be turnovers per minutes played, the lower the better. Azzi 112 minutes/ 9 T.O. = 12.44, one turnover every 12 minutes played. Blanca 37 minutes/ 6 T.O. = 6.17 or one turnover every 6 minutes. IOW, if Blanca played as many minutes as Azzi, she would have 18 turnovers.

Serah Williams only played 14 minutes. After playing close to the full 40 minutes in previous seasons, how will she feel about diminished minutes?

Note: UConn lost the fourth quarter to L'Ville 26-18, and Fla St 19-16. Although they won the fourth quarter against Loyola 21-14, keep in mind Loyola only scored 17 points in the first three quarters. Although players 8 thru 14 are good and fun to watch, let's not over estimate their abilities...

In an interview, Howard Cosell once told Ali he was being "truculent." Ali replied "If that's good, then I'm that." I first encountered that word reading Ivanhoe. If you like obsolete/obscure words, that's the book to read.

I could be wrong, but I'm not sure UConn will get freshman of the week. Is Blanca considered a freshman? Nothing against our freshmen, but will they get the minutes? BIG EAST Freshman of the Week Ally Timm, DePaul, R-Fr., G Timm averaged 20.5 points per game, 2.0 steals, 1.5 assists and 2.0...

Mop up time will be a lot more interesting this season.

Both Strong and Fudd played 38 minutes each. UConn looks like a very "average" team without those two.

Both Fudd and Strong played 38 minutes each.

But, some shots are worth two points, some three, and free throws are only worth one. Why are you giving them equal weightings?
