The formula for beautiful basketball probably doesn't include playing 14 different players, resting your starters for half the game and scheduling a tough opponent after only 10 days of practice. What stands out after the 84-67 victory over BC was just how well the starting group of KK, Ash...

UConn cruised to an 84-67 victory over Boston College with 14 players seeing court time. Here are some stat highlights: 1. Azzi started cold, but hit 5 straight threes to finish with 20 points. She added 4 assists and 3 rebounds. 2. Sarah Strong started off right where she finished last year. 17...

Throw in Caroline and Morgan (if healthy) and you have the All 6'2" lineup. Tall, but fast and plenty of shooters. That would be a hoot to see... 😀

Actually, Tiff Hayes had graduated the year before. Caroline had a very gimpy knee, wore a huge brace and while she started 32 of 38 games, she averaged only 16.5 minutes per game. Seven players averaged more minutes than Doty. Five other starters that year averaged between 24-30 minutes per...

I think I was one of only 9 people that had Caroline starting in the Who Will Start post from several months ago. I’m happy to see her making progress and the brief highlight videos give me hope. Geno loves Senior stability and if healthy, I still think she starts. That said, Geno may limit her...

To answer my own question, probably not and obviously it depends who starts & who subs in... That said, some of the players coming off the bench are going to be really, really good. It could be a nightmare for opponents. For example, say KK starts and plays most of the 1st quarter at full...

Just to be clear, the Nika comment about "offensive liability" was in the responses, not my OP. Nika scored 764 points in her career and shot 40.1% from 3 point range as a Senior. Love me some Nika..!!

In an effort to get ready for this coming season, here is a pre season quiz..!! Answers are below, no cheating. 1. Who has started more games for UConn: Ashlynn or Sarah? 2. Who scored more points last season, Jana or Ice? 3. Eight different players started at least 1 game last season. Who...

That was nice...! Blanca = wow. Loving Caroline action too..!! Season can't come quick enough...!

Nika would have taken the charge, not been scared and defoliated that plant..!! 😎

Last season, UConn scored 3,269 points in 40 games. That comes out to an average of 81.7 points per game. That average was the highest per game number since the 2020-21 season. Between graduation & transfer, the Huskies lost players who scored 1,146 points. (Paige = 756, Kaitlyn = 277, Aubrey =...

I recently looked up Serah Williams stats from the Wisconsin web site. I was more than impressed. To begin with, Serah started 89 of the last 91 games for Wisconsin. She missed one start freshman year and one sophomore season. She was thrown right into the starting lineup and averaged 25, 30 and...

Useless trivia because we are all bored and waiting on the season to start. ;) Only five WBB coaches have won a WBB National Championship in the last 10 tournaments. (Tourny in 2020 was canceled due to covid) Here are the last 10 NC games: 2025 - UConn beat South Carolina 2024 - South Carolina...

Ashlynn Shade did not play in her 2nd game in a UConn uniform. Geno later said it was due to an oversight during a tough loss to NC State. Ash has played in every other of UConn's 78 games in her two seasons. She has started a total of 45 games and has come of the bench 33 times. Her role as a...

Quick reminder of just how well Azzi played last season: 1. Points = 462 or 13.6 per game. 2. Three pt. shooting = 43.6% (79-181) 3. Free throws = 91.7% (33-36) 4. Assists = 61 (turnovers = 35) 5. Steals = 46 and Blocked shots = 10 6. Total of 900 minutes played, 34 games, 26.5 min per game...
