Lou: Update on her shooting

Considering the schedule they've played, which player in the country would you prefer to have shoot 3's other than Lou and Azzi? We keep knocking off teams with 14-1 type records.
 
Amazing shooting. It truly is a pity that we won't be able to see Lou, Paige and Azzi playing at the same time next year. That would be one of the best shooting teams from the perimeter of all time. Historic. What fun that would have been.
 
To put things in perspective, KML, who many consider the best 3-point shooter at UConn and in wcbb history, shot at a little over 48% clip over her career, with a season best of 52%. So Lou is in rare air. I also think Lou has a better all around game.
 
Louuuuuuuuuu! Nika is still assists leader, too.

From NCAA Statistics For the record, Lou is 39th in the country for 3 point field goals made with 2.69. Since she’s averaging 16.9 points a game, that speaks to her versatility

Thanks to @MilfordHusky for keeping this thread alive. Lou will have some ups and downs as the season progresses, but I'm sticking with her through thick and and thin cause she's a bucket and a half!

Thanks. As a reminder--Lou has started every game, which is very important this year! In addition, Lou has scored in double-figures every game, showing she is rather consistent. And she has managed a sore foot and head cold along the way. A great addition!

Yes, every game I'm on the edge of my seat until she gets that bucket that puts her at 10 or more points. I really want her to go the entire season with DD's in every game. We'll see. A great addition indeed.
 
Chica had a mediocre shooting day against Georgetown, as did pretty much everyone. She was 5-13 overall and 2-7 from the arc. She did manage double-figures scoring, as she has in every game.

Tonight against Seton Hall, she was a bit sharper, 6-15 overall, 2-3 from distance, but only 1-2 from the line (shocking!). Her 17 points were comfortably into double-figures.

Her season totals are now .491/.500/.939. Her 3-point shooting is 2nd in the nation, behind only Brynna Maxwell of Gonzaga. Still a bucket!

OMG, Bro! Lou was 3-4 on FTs tonight. Sorry.
 
31 for 33 now on free throws. I thought I was in a different reality last night when she missed one. No one in their right mind would foul Lou in the act of shooting.

Double digit games still intact! Yay! Nothing seems to phase that girl.

If you look at the fouls they call on her versus what they don't call when she is fouled...she should have another 15 attempts. She's what I call a baller.

In another thread, a few fellow posters were discussing that Lou may be playing more minutes this year then in her earlier career at Fairfield. Which I knew they were wrong so I went and looked at her 4 years at Faifield to compare to her stats this year. Her improvement is nothing short of remarkable. All her shooting percentages are up, her assist to turnover ratio is also better, her minutes are down slightly and her efficiency ratio is down due to her lack of rebounding at the Major level.

I really like Lou. If we were ever in a 1 possession game, I would have her be the primary option. She is one of the few players on the team that seems to be able to get a good shot off without screens or needing a great pass. The only other player on the team that I've seen that same ability is Paige. Unfortunately we don't have Paige this year.

Lou probably thinking, "this Big time ball is pretty easy." :)

It's even more impressive because teams have been keying on her as the lone consistent perimeter threat with all the UCONN guard injuries. You saw the ND game..after Azzi was injured..they just left Aubrey alone knowing that long-range shooting wasn't the strength of her game. And...Lou still scored 21 or something like that.

Can't imagine where we'd be without her.

What I appreciate about Lou (among many appreciations) is that like that old watch commercial: " she can take a lick'n and keep on
ticking". Without our other three-point players on the court, she can really get mugged out there; but ... then... she gets up, rubs her "wound" and runs on... and on, and ... on and ...............

When Ines went in, Edwards brought the ball over halfcourt most of the time.
 
In viewing the Seton Hall game again (as well as most games Azzi has missed), amazed at the nonstop beating Lou has been taking as she rotates around the court in UConn's motion offense. Constant holding, hip checks, etc. Unlike some that exaggerate the effect of contact to get the call, Lou is very business-like and just keeps working to get open or make the pass. You can tell she has a foot or ankle issue but seems to be playing through it as long as Huskies need her on the court.

Yes she is taking a beating, and it is starting to take a toll. She has been taken out for a rest in later parts of games for just this reason.
