In another thread, another BY poster hypothesized that UConn was playing very well "at a time when Stewie's shooting touch has, at least temporarily, abandoned her"..... I didn't think this was true, or at least I didn't have that impression, so I checked. Here's Stewie's shooting stats from the field & the free throw line over the last 10 games:
1. From the field = 68-129 or 52.7%
2. From the free throw line = 28-34 or 82.4%
But how does that compare to the first few games or the season?
3. In the first 7 games, Stewie shot 51.2% & 76% from the field and free throws.
4. For the season, Stewie is shooting 52.1% & 79.7% from the field & free throws.
5. Last year, she shot 49.7% & 77.4% from the field & free throws. (In case you were wondering...)
Yeah, but the last 5 games are when the shooting touch has really fallen off...right?
6. Stewie, in the last 5 games, is 34-61 or 55.7% from the field.
7. From the free throw line = 8-11 or 72.7%
Bottom line = Stewie scores so easily & in so many different ways, it is easy to see her miss 2 or 3 three point shots and conclude she is in a slump. But, her overall scoring (shooting touch) is remarkably consistent. What is off, a wee bit, is her three point scoring at 17-52 or 32.7%. Last year, she shot 34.3% for the season from three point range.
One last thing...Stewie has "only" led the team in scoring 6 times in 17 games. MoJeff has done it 4 times, as has Morgan Tuck. KML has been the top scorer 3 times, Kia Nurse once. On a team with that kind of balanced scoring, there is less need for Stewie to score 20+ points every time on floor.
Go Huskies..!!
