50/40/90 shooting this year

Update after Marquette:

Sarah: .591/.396/.905.

Azzi: .495/.463/.949

Azzi doesn't have quite enough attempts, but she would be 2nd in the nation in FT shooting. She jumped from 10th to 7th in 3-point shooting percentage. She's now ahead of Kneepkens, but behind Wright, Ciezki, and Tessa Johnson. She jumped into a temporary tie for 2nd in 3-pointers made.

Actually nowhere close. Assuming she plays 40 games, she would have to make 100 free throws. She'd have to average almost 5 makes per game the rest of the way, when she's averaging less than one and a half.
 
After a tough Villanova game:

Sarah: .595/.400/.892 Needs 5-5 on FTs

Azzi: .497/.470/.950 Needs 2-2 on FGs. 4th in the nation from deep, 2nd in treys made.

Allie: .550/.476/.762

Blanca: .572/.404/.750

Team: .529/.404/.749 1st, 1st, middle of the pack

Well, today's shooting wasn't great. The emotions of Senior Day always seem to be a factor. Both Azzi and the team dropped a little. Current stats:

Sarah: .600/.406/.892 Needs 5-5 on FTs

Azzi: .490/.454/.950 Dropped to about 13th in 3-point %, about 2nd in 3-pointers.

Allie: .536/.460/.762

Blanca: .563/.380/.727

Team: .526/.397/.750 1st, 1st, 50+
 
Not UCONN related but was looking at UCLA stats, their guard trio has incredible splits considering they're all big scorers too:

Kiki Rice: 50.7/40.8/88.9 and 15.3 ppg
Gabriela Jaquez: 54.7/40.6/.859 and 14.1 ppg
Gianna Kneepkens: 53.3/45.9/93.8 and 13.2 ppg

Kiki has become a much better shooter. From the arc over 4 years: 22/31/37/41. The team is top-10 in 3-point percentage.

In addition to Kneepkens, we have Prince and Ciezki:

Prince 55/46/92

Ciezki 54/46/90

They will be our toughest match up if we meet in the NCAAT. Their problem in a game vs UCONN is that they only go 6 deep - their starters plus "Litl Betts so they might wilt late in a game when Geno can run a group of nine. A last factor in a game against them is, Close, as she showed the world last year, gives the Huskies a 10 point "home court like" advantage when matched up against Geno and his staff.

Milford, who is the "we" you refer to? I don't see them them on the UCLA roster on their website.

They'll go 7 deep as Dugalic comes off the bench too. She's much improved from a year ago as 6-4 stretch 4. Their well built with 2 solid options at PG (Leger-Walker and Rice), a couple of elite wings in Jaque/Kneepkens and a trio of front court players with the Betts sisters and Dugalic.

Geno also shortens his bench in big games. I don't think we'd see more than 7 players play 10+ minutes in a Final Four or Championship meeting.

Dugalic brings advantage that she is a true 'stretch forward', deadly from 3pt land.

Still as another poster noted, UCLA have Coach Close and they still are slow. I actually like this matchup for UConn even though they are 27-1.

SC for me still toughest. Johnsons plus Latson perfect backcourt, Okot and Edwards perfect front court. I know they have injuries and are not the usual SC deep, but the starting 5 is very good...and fast.
 
Team shooting slipped a little tonight. Some updates:

Sarah .597/.409/.881 Missed FT hurt

Azzi .489/.454/.950

Blanca .557/.377/.731

Allie .516/.441/.762

Team .523/.394/.749 1st, 1st; FT shooting is now below that of our opponents.

Azzi is 9th in 3-point % and 2nd in 3-pointers made nationally. She now has 94 makes; the UConn season record is 121, by KML. Azzi needs 27 in potentially 10 games. She's on pace to pass Kaleena.
 
So UConn has a possibility of two players shooting 50/40/90 in the same season. Does anyone know if that has happened to any team before?

Doubtful, but I don't know for sure. FYI, here are some UCLA stats for this season:

Kneepkens 53/46/94

Jaquez 55/41/88

Rice 51/41/89

FYI, Sarah has an outside shot at 60/40/90. Here's a list of players who have done that: (no one)

Update on shooting after the SJU game at MSG:

Sarah .595/.407/.881

Azzi .490/.451/.950

Blanca .549/.382/.731

Allie .528/.446/.773

Kayleigh .556/.378/.633

Team .525/.394/.752 1st, 1st, middling

Azzi is 10th in 3-point % and 2nd in 3-pointers. If we have a long season, she could lead the nation in 3-pointers. She is about 6 behind Rivera of Samford.
 
Everyone other than Blanca had a good shooting day. Update:

Sarah: .600/.425/.882 Incredible

Azzi: .486/.447/.951 101 treys. UConn record is 121 (Azzi is 5th)

Blanca: .524/.393/.759

Allie: .520/.438/.800

Kayleigh: .549/.366/.657

KK: .557/.345/.683

Team: .525/.398/.751 Still 1st, 1st, middling.

It's good to see how much Allie's free throw % improved from the beginning of the season...

Sarah need to make 100% of her next 12 FTs to get to 90.0%…keep driving, Sarah!

Azzi averages 13 FG attempts a game, therefore she needs to go 26/39 in her next 3 games to get to 0.500. Definitely achievable.

The UConn stats page hasn't been updated, but ESPN has. Some interesting shooting lines:

Sarah: .601/.427/.873

Azzi: .489/.446/.951 (107-234 from the arc) Azzi career: .471/.421/.923 (7th in 3s, 1st in FTs)

Blanca: .523/.375/.758

Allie: .516/.432/.793

Kayleigh: .547/.381/.667 (last year .459/.283/.783)

Three sharpshooters on other teams:

Kneepkens (UCLA): .518/.442/.952 (76-172)

Czieki (Indiana): .526/.446/.908 (79-177)

Prince (Nebraska): .534/.452/.905 (38-84)
