Based just on today's action, I think Serah Williams will haul in her share of BA awards.

Serah Williams. Serah had 11 points in the first quarter
with two steals and one block shot and one nice "tip"
on defense (by my less than perfect box score). I had her
with 15 points at half time, seventeen for the game. Those
final two points were when she made a nice drive and bucket
(when she saw no one to pass off to). If she can is that
effective this early in her UCONN career..... NICE! BTY:
Azzie and the "other" Sarah were terrific.
BYW... Serah was also five for six from the foul line!
two assists and one only one foul.

You're mixing up Sarah Strong with Serah Williams. It was Strong who scored 11 points in the first quarter, 15 at halftime, and 17 for the game. Williams had 15 points for the game.

Sarah Strong. As I kept saying to my next-chair neighbor: "SARAH STRONG IS A MENACE!"

Thanks for the correction! Has Hamlet once said: "Thinking makes it so."
I was working off my personal BOX SCORE and .... A BLUNDER! The
official BOX SCORE did reflect however that "sErah" was still fairly
Badass with 15 points on 5 for 7 field goals, 5 for six free throws,
5 rebounds (3 OFFENSIVE!), two assists, two blocks, one steal and
a +/- of 18 with an efficiency rating of 21 (just behind "sArah" and
Azzi.) Truly amazing for someone who is "learning" the UCONN system.
IMHO this looks like the triumvirate of last year (PAIGE, SARAH, AZZI).
It will be "THE SAME OLD SONG"... but "with a different meaning since
Paige is gone". Full disclosure: Credit to the FOUR TOPS. GO UCONN!!!!

No problem! And I agree, Serah Williams is a fabulous addition to this year's team ... as many of us (including you) expected. She's going to dominate inside (on both ends of the court).
According to the original ice man (not George Gavin), this is what will be said at the end of the next 3 seasons by the rest of wcbb

My comment was about Serah Williams, not Sarah Strong. You (like at least one other here) are confusing Serah Williams with Sarah Strong! Williams is a senior and will only play for UConn one (1) season. Sarah Strong is a sophomore and will be the one (presumably) around for three (3) more seasons.
Oh, and by the way, basketball's Mr. Iceman, was George Gervin.

One of my sons is studying engineering at the Colorado School of Mines: their mascot is a true badass bad ass
For this game- I’d go with Sarah for doing a little bit of everything - heck she even expressed some opinions in the presser! Kidding aside- she is amazing - we are so fortunate to get to enjoy watching her game grow for the next couple of years.

Serah and Sarah are going to be a headache for opposing teams. And trust me, Blanca will join that party soon enough. I love that Serah came to Uconn to win a championship, and I think that motivation alone will take us deep in the tournament next year. Im just at awe of our front court players. We are sooo deep with talent when it comes to centers and forwards, Geno finally has chess pieces to replace Jana for example if she is having a foul troubled night. Now Geno has bodies that can play the 4 and 5 on any given night. Now the pressure moves over to the back court, where traditionally we've been super spoiled on in the past. KK and Hayleigh have the ability to run this teams offense, but they have work to do to get there.
With Paige we were spoiled because we had an elite scorer, who had a pass first mentality. That alone put pressure on a lot of teams last year because they had to decide who they wanted to put the most defense to. You can slow Paige down, but azzi and Sarah were there, and if you chose to slow down either Sarah or azzi, Paige was just going to tear the defense up. This year is different with KK. Hopefully she takes pride in the pg position and becomes more obsessed with setting her teammates up for shots while limiting foul trouble for herself.
