I believe Liv deserves 1st team recognition

I believe Liv deserves 1st team recognition

It doubtful if Liv gets 1st or even second team BE recognition. Not that I agree with this logic, but last year the league simply took the top scorer in the league to be on the BE all conference teams. Liv is only averaging 10PPG that is only 5th best on UCONN. It is also not looking good for Liv as the conference DPOY ( she was Co-defensive POY last season). The main reason s that Morrow is among the nation leaders in rebounding and steals. It might be a very sparse year for UCONN with these awards. CW will make 1st team all BE. Beyond that there are a lot of questions marks due to the multiple injuries. For Example I'm not sure if Azzi qualifies for BE all Freshman team because she has only played in 16 games.

A lot of what Liv does doesn’t show up on a stats sheet, like Evina.

Where oh where is Evina in all this?
