[URL="https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-womens-basketball/hc-sp-five-takeaways-from-uconn-womens-basketballs-win-over-ohio-state-20181111-story.html"]Five takeaways from UConn women's win over Ohio State[/URL] The newbies get a lot of attention, so this about Crystal was good to see: "Crystal Dangerfield — an already talented and experienced point guard — has only gotten better since last season, and she’s only a junior. Her speed, athleticism and leadership on the court were on full display against Ohio State. She recorded 18 points, five rebounds and four assists. “She’s gotten so much better, no question. Crystal’s just a different player,” Auriemma said. “She’s got so much confidence — and real confidence, not fake like she had freshman year. It’s real because she’s worked really hard at it and she knows she can make shots from a lot of different places. “The other area where she’s grown tremendously is she got knocked around pretty good today. She would’ve been out two weeks as a freshman if any one of those things happened. … And now like you saw today, she’s not coming out of the lineup. She’s not coming off of the court. So all the things you hope for a kid to become, I think it’s happened. I don’t know that there’s a lot of guards in the country that can take the ball and go where she goes whenever she wants to. As I said, our starters are pretty good and she makes us go.” [/QUOTE]
