Agree on Zedimer

I didn’t explain myself well. I wasn’t talking about the other teams. I meant that Maya didn’t play with a scorer like Paige or Azzi. That was an advantage for Maya in terms of her scoring average. The fact that Sarah scored as many points per game as she did playing with Paige and Azzi is...

I edited. Initially I left out the phrase “for scoring opportunities” … freshman Sarah had more competition for scoring opportunities with Paige and Azzi (usually) on the court

Sarah had more competition freshman year for scoring opportunities than Maya. Paige and Azzi (when healthy) vs Tina C, who averaged 14.2 pts Maya’s freshman year. I love, love Maya but so far Sarah gets the nod.

So funny. Just this year I have started focusing on that every time I look at a box score. Fewer TOs and a higher offensive rebounding percentage are so important.

Love this thread. As a UConn fan, I tend to get more excited by great defense than great offense. Partly because I know the great D will be there more consistently. I loved Blanca’s steal with one second left in the first half against SH. Her hands are so f*ing quick it doesn’t seem...

On Torvik I use a filter to look at ratings based only on games vs. top 50 or top 100 teams.

I prefer to look at these stats filtered for games against top 50 or top 100 teams. I use Torvik for that. I look at BPM and things look very different when you get rid of the cupcake factor.

UConn 92 St. John’s 45

I love that this is happening. Kia, Kiah and Gabby are among my all time favorites. I don’t love that it’s the Nova game as they’re a very good team that has a track record of playing the Huskies tough. I hope the team doesn’t get distracted.

We’re not back to the same level of dominance …but I’d like to think we’re bad for women’s basketball again! I’ll check with Dan Shaughnessy and let you know 😉

UConn 88 S Hall 48

Probably down to five by Monday am. Weekend games with a material chance of a first loss (Torvik probability of first loss in parentheses): Saturday ASU @ BYU (53%) TCU @ Utah (13%) Sunday Vandy v LSU (75%) Iowa St v Baylor (34%)

I still remember fondly a game earlier this year where she stole a pass, and went into some traffic for the layup. She ended up on the floor and bounced up with a huge grin on her face, seemingly excited to immediately get back to harassing someone trying to inbound the ball. The results are...

I was perusing through the Stevie teams, trying to remind myself just how good the best UConn teams were. Man oh man were we stacked in Stewie’s last two years. For example 2024/15: Stewie, MoJeff and Tuck as juniors; KML and Kiah as seniors; Kia Nurse and Gabby as freshmen. Holy crap...
