Crystal and Christyn: The Backcourt Duo

[UCCCCCCCCon]

Christyn Williams and Crystal Dangerfield will have to lead the Huskies from the backcourt this season!

Who's poised to have the better season? Who is needed more? Are they the X Factor for success this season?

Check out UCTV's Hype Video for the Sophomore-Senior Combo!

Is Crystal healthy?

While I don’t know who will have the better season, I do believe that Crystal & Christyn are the best starting backcourt in WBB this season.

Oregon?

Oregon?

It’s close. Oregon has the top player in Ionescu and a solid second guard in USC transfer Miinyon Moore, but I’m looking at potentially 2 AA guards at UConn that are both capable of taking over games, so I give the edge to the Huskies. In addition, I’m biased.

I give the UConn back court the slight edge if Crystal is completely healthy (which means see can practice full time).

In what parallel universe is this backcourt comparison "close" or a "slight edge" for UCONN ? Minyon Moore is a nice player 41% career shooter 28% 3PtFG%. She played at USC for 3 years & her teams NEVER made the NCAA tournament.

As I said, I’m biased. Beyond that, I truly believe that Christyn is the 2nd best guard in the country behind Ionescu and I believe Crystal, if she’s healthy, is better than Moore. But let’s see how the two backcourts matchup in Storrs in early Feb. That game will be a pretty good indication whether I’m right or wrong in my assessment.

One semi-quantitative way of looking at this in this universe assuming they play to their potential (and health)

CW top 10 player, CD Top 20 player Ionescu #1 MM Maybe top 40?

Geno is the difference maker. While most guards use the Geno system: View the court and take what is given Gene has at least 5 that are taught to do that. Everyone on Geno's teams has a bit of a guard in them because Geno is and loves guards. We at times forget the 3 or 4 non guards on the floor and must instinctively react as the Guards expect. It is not a 1 or 2 man/woman show. Just my diverse opinion.

Pivec & Slocum? then Tudor, Goodman, Simmons. Maybe Oregon & UCONN have better starting backcourt, but I'll take OSU's full complement of guards/wings.

If we’re talking about G/W’s and depth, add in Evina, if she’s eligible, along with Ania, Aubrey and UConn can also move Megan to the wing. I still like UConn over OSU or anyone else.

Sorry. Don't see it.

It's OK. You'll see it soon enough

Agreed, if Evina is in the mix this year, then UCONN is going to have an amazing stable of guards/wings.

No, I think I'll be looking for a while. A long while.
