Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3019189, member: 5798"] [SIZE=5][B]UConn women prepare for tough test against No. 3 Louisville[/B][/SIZE] "Collier enters tonight's game with 998 career rebounds and 1,963 career points. She can become just the fifth Husky to cross the 2,000-point and 1,000-rebound thresholds." [B]37 points and 2 rebounds [/B]is the R.S.V.P. numbers that will welcome her into that exclusive club for life. Averaging 18.6 ppg, she should have the balance of those 37 points by the end of the @ Cincinnati game Saturday. In the mean time, Collier will have her hands full tonight guarding their starting post 6'4" junior Kylee Shook (8ppg/6.2rpg). "The Huskies are 64-29 all-time in games vs. top-5 teams. UConn is 17-1 all-time vs. Louisville and the Huskies have won the last 17 meetings. This is the fifth straight meeting between the teams when both squads are ranked in the top-5. Louisville's only blemish this season came to then-No. 1 Notre Dame on Jan. 10. This season, [B]Asia Durr[/B] leads the Cardinals with 21.1 points per game while Sam Fuehring leads the team with 6.2 rebounds per game. The Huskies may play in a conference that isn’t filled with top 25 teams, but they’re no stranger to intense competition — especially not this season. Coach Geno Auriemma believes in scheduling as many tough nonconference games as possible, which has resulted in two top-10 (Notre Dame & Baylor) matchups so far this season. The scheduling combined with the Huskies' long string of away games, has led UConn to play in multiple tough environments early on." [ATTACH=full]38961[/ATTACH] "They’ve been tested, both by Notre Dame and Baylor, and now they’re nearing their final big test before the NCAA Tournament in #3 Louisville. For the third time this season, #2 UConn will walk into a top 10 opponent’s arena on tonight. The Huskies have proven they can win, knocking off then #1 Notre Dame in December. However they’ve also proven they’re capable of losing, as they did to then #8 Baylor. Going into the game against Louisville, they’re looking to use lessons from both of those games."
