Message: [QUOTE="cferraro04, post: 4430111, member: 267"] In my numerous discussions this summer with Tonyc regarding this season I often mentioned that Aubrey's return was going to be big for UConn. I said that people had forgotten how good she was and that she was going to help UConn this season especially with Paige being out for the season. With the loss of Olivia, Evina and Christyn Williams, and with Paige Bueckers going down I figured that: [B]Azzi Fudd[/B]'s production [B](29.0 / game)[/B] would replace [B]Paige Bueckers[/B]' production[B] (14.6 / game); Lou Senechal[/B]'s production [B](14.5 / game)[/B] would replace [B]Christyn[/B]'s production [B](14.2 / game); Aubrey[/B]'s production [B](13,5) / game)[/B] would replace [B]Evina[/B]'s production [B](9.0 / game); Dorka's increase[/B] in production (from 7.3 to 10.0 -[B] 2.7 / game),[/B] [B]Edwards increase[/B] in production (from 7.9 to 12.5 - [B]4.6 / game)[/B] And [B]Patterson's production[/B] of [B]2.5 / game[/B] would replace Olivia's production [B](9.2 / game)[/B] So far and I know that it is early but we do have a top 5 game under our belts, from a points point of view [B]Azzi, Lou, Aubrey and Patterson[/B] plus the increase in production from [B]Dorka and Edwards production[/B] we have combined for [B]66.8 / game[/B] While [B]Paige, Olivia, Evina and Christyn combined[/B] for [B]47 points / game[/B] This places this years top producers at a [B]+19.8 / game [/B]which gives us a cushion to adjust as the season goes on and bodies wear down, and competition gets tougher. The stats above also reflect that UConn has averaged over its first two games [B]90.5 points per game[/B] whereas last year's version averaged [B]73.8 points per game.[/B] This of course will not hold as the season progresses I expect the average points per game to be higher than last year and only somewhat lower than it is right now. I think with the fire power that we have we will average around [B]86 points per game[/B] which is [B]14 points better[/B] than we were last year. I think this puts us into the final four and a serious contender for the National Championship. South Carolina and Stanford pose match-up problems for us and their potent offenses will test our defense...but, we are definitely in the conversation. [B]Azzi Fudd[/B] - 12.1 (2022) - [B]21.5 (2023) Caroline Ducharme[/B] - 9.8 (2022) - [B]11.0 (2023) Lou Lopez-Senechal[/B] - 0.0 (2022) - [B]11.5 (2023) Aaliyah Edwards[/B] - 7.9 (2022) - [B]11.0 (2023) Aubrey Griffin[/B] - 0.0 (2022) - [B]10.0 (2023) Dorka Juhasz[/B] - 7.3 (2022) -[B] (9.0) 2023 Nika Muhl[/B] - 3.8 (2022) - [B]5.5 (2023) Ayanna Patterson[/B] - 0.0 (2022) - 3[B] (2023) Amari DeBerry[/B] - 1.6 (2002) - [B]2.2 (2023) Ines Bettencourt[/B] - 0.0 (2022) - [B]1.3 (2023)[/B] [B]Total 86 points / game[/B] Now just imagine if we had [B]Paige Bueckers[/B] and [B]Ice Brady[/B] we would be the first Husky team to average over 100 points per game. And then next year we bring in [B]KK Arnold, Ashlynn Shade, Jana El Alfy and Qadence Samuels [/B]and we only lose [B]Lou Lopez-Senechal and Dorka Juhrasz.[/B] Next year will be UConn's best, deepest and most potent offensive team ever. They will have all the pieces and no one and I mean no one barring an act of God will prevent UConn from winning the national championship. [/QUOTE]
