Boxscore vs West Virginia

[DaddyChoc]

Stokes stuck out... good job!

Yeah, 8 points in 10 minutes on nice shooting, plus 3 boards and a block.

A couple stats jumped off the page.

Kaleena and Bria combined 1-13 on treys. Remember, UConn scored 79, so imagine either or both being on target just a little bit from long range -- more points for them and Stefanie, too.

West Virginia with 28 turnovers. Partly their youth and inexperience (I don't care what their coach says in "coachspeak") and partly the UConn suffocating full-court defense.

A related note. Pre-game TV graphic cites 13 All-Americans. I think Hartley is next (certainly by next season), then Kaleena. There will be inevitable comparisons between Bria and Diggins in at least two games head-to-head. I like her chances.

I thought UConn's offense was fine last night. There were a couple of rough spots during the game where it was really ugly but on the whole I htought they played well against a very good defense.
The exception is Dolson. A very poor performance on both ends of the court.
