Marquette Post-Game Thread

[HuskyNan]

I wasn't a fan of EW until recently. Inexplicably, she has [suddenly] upped her game. I view her as an offensive spark the way Aubrey was a defensive spark. No, she isn't a team leader but is certainly a newfound [important] contributor. On defense too!

Her teammates disagree with you.

Last season, Westbrook and her upperclassmen teammates had the responsibility of leading an unusually young UConn team on their way to another Final Four appearance. Westbrook played the role of the Swiss army knife, doing whatever it took for her team to win.

"It’s not about points with E," Christyn Williams told Hearst Connecticut. "She’s a great leader off the floor. She’s the 'mom' of our team. We love E to death."

That would be a negative

You're right about the NBA becoming unwatchable

Re: "I hope Caroline never takes another 3 point shot... she simply is not a good 3 point shooter!!" I recommend taking a look on YouTube at some of the freshman's high school tapes. You'll see that she beat Azzi Fudd in a national 3 point contest, and she sank threes from as far as the NBA 3 point line, maybe the old NBA 3 point line. Caroline is a three-way scorer with 3s, creating off the dribble and posting up. She will be one of the greats for UConn in all likelihood.

Too small of a sample size for a reliable percentage when discussing a freshman who started only a handful of games and then was injured.

Jeez... being wide open has nothing to do with being a freshman.

Man - what a great team! So much fun to watch. Every player brings their little something to the table, and you never know just who is going to jump out and be that player of the game. All the Huskies seem like such nice kids and I'm so grateful for the fun they provide this couch potato every week. Congratulations!!!

I guess you can't read or understand the written word. If she is shooting 30% "she is making 3 OUT OF 10, if she makes 1 more OUT OF 10, it would be 4 OUT OF 10, or 40%.
Not "1 of the NEXT 10"...

Why I come to the Boneyard,

Caitlin Clark is shooting 29.9 from three this season. Is she a bad 3 point shooter? And her sample size is huge. Should she stop shooting them?

...as long as you don't add, she's a "good" 3 point shooter.

Just stitches on the inside of her lip. Geno said she's fine.
