I have watched UCONN basketball for 26 years and I can't recall playing 5 freshmen at the same time in other than garbage time. He played 5 freshmen in the third quarter and even the announcers didn't notice it. WOW!!! Great contributions from them tonight...no, they CARRIED us tonight!!!

I, too, noticed that the announcers never made mention of the fact that all freshman, (or 4.5) were on the court during the 3rd Q. It was quite a sight, and they were most impressive. Didn't miss CW, AG ,or AM one bit all game. Autumn with a big 3, capped my night off. The girl for St. John was most impressive, also.

I am soooo excited with Paige, Edwards, and Nika!!! I can't believe it actually. And then throw in Mir-- THROW IN-- her quickness is so unique it seems. She just needs more time. Just so amazed with this class.

What about Bueckers over-the-shoulder pass to Edwards?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!

Nika-- I am so impressed now!!! Can't say enough.

Yep...Its hard to make Amber puns ..you have to be cautious..
ISWYDT and I must admit I liked it. But you are more correct than you know. Poor Kathleen Winsor was banned in 14 states, and Connecticut was probably one of them. She was forever chapped about it.

I think Autumn is really cool and understands what to do. If she had just a little more size / athleticism, could be a major contributor.

Correction: Geno pointed out there were four freshmen, and a high schooler on the floor at one time!

ETA: Freshmen combined to score 75 of 94 points total!

Have to love the depth of this team. The last couple of years were really tedious, with only a few players on the bench. I just hope that the big number of freshman won't discourage the top high school players, in the next few years, from coming. One or two per year would be fine.

The Sue Bird class was better. Bird, Cash, Williams, Jones, and Walters.
