Just watched the replay and a few pros and cons to add:
-Lou Lopez a fantastic pick up.  Very smooth and already comfortable in the UConn system.  18 points in the first half was an eye opener.
-Azzi strong 2nd half-not so much the first 2 quarters.  Very deliberate to start the game. May Geno needs to run plays for her verus just rotate in the UConn offense.
-Have not seen much of Patterson in HS but would pay to watch her.  Strong, athletic, and super aggressive.  Still a bit raw but great get by UConn.  Will play a key role.
-Muhl's defense was strong but worry she is still "handsy," in a way similar to ONO's never correcting her shot blocking issues. Niki will get multiple calls against her unless she uses her body more and stops swating at the ball. Too valuable to sit for fouls. Other than that, her point guart skills were near perfect.
-Kudos to Kutztown for stepping up and at least in the first half, giving UConn a good game.  Grew up in Pa. and this is not a meca for women's basketball.  Seems well coached.
