Does anyone know if Aubrey is coming back next season?
Lou - she came to UConn from Fairfield and isn’t used to playing Top 10 teams regularly. She needed a half to adjust to the speed and physicality. She’ll continue learning on her road to becoming a viable proThey played like, well, UCONN today and it was an absolute pleasure to watch.
Aubrey was a one woman wrecking crew in the beginning of the game with 4 steals before you could blink. 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 steals is quite the day, not to mention her deflections and general disruptive influence. Plus, she is improving every game!
Aaliyah played within herself and under control. 20 points, 12 boards and 4 assists is a big time game. She was smart and focused and solid on defense.
Nika. A new assist record. Tremendous defense as well. Just a threat to make the perfect pass every single time she is out in front on the break.
Ayanna- Of everyone, her performance was perhaps the most important to me. With Dorka out, she had to play smart, do her job, and stay on the floor. In 11 minutes she had 5 boards, an assist, a block and a steal and made her presence felt as a reliable substitution underneath. A workmanlike role player today. That's all we needed.
Azzi- What can you say? One of the only sensible comments made by the announcers today was that she is probably the best player in the country right now. 32 the easy way if that's possible. What a stroke.
Lou- We were waiting for it. I hope the nerves, jitters, or what ever they have been in the past are gone now. She had a great second half and showed everyone what she can do. A little better choice on shots sometimes but overall a dominating performance once she got it going.
Caroline- I feel badly for her because she is struggling. It's just the timing and wind thing right now and it reminds me of how she started last year. She will have it back soon and that gives us another multi dimensional scorer.
Amari and Ines- Only a minute playing time. Sounds like they both need to work super hard in practice.
As a team, great chemistry, textbook fast breaks, solid defense to start the third quarter which just broke it open when combined with our scoring, unselfishness to the point of magnificence, and another top 10 win.
Well , we did know who he( or she) meant.AZ? Maybe you should use first names? The initials thing doesn’t seem to be working for you
Unless it's a very lopsided game ... that might change the equationI don’t believe either Stanford or So Carolina will drop below 2 no matter who wins
I’m not a GIF person, but this one puts a smile on my face EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.Azzi with another 32-point masterpiece. She was again magnificent.
But what turned this game from close to a blowout were the career performances from Nika, Aaliyah, and Aubrey. Not to mention Lou turning around a poor first half and going off in 3Q.
What a game! Way to go! Get well soon, CD.

Just watched the finish. 2 unbelievable brain farts by Stanford with seconds left. A five second call and calling a timeout when there weren’t any left. Stanford should definitely drop.I don’t believe either Stanford or So Carolina will drop below 2 no matter who wins
Probably no need to be anxious anymore.Ditto re: CD
Why are you making such a prediction?
One factor basketball fans always discount is that players get better. Players and coaches recognize it. Roles change, players actually work on their games, chemistry changes, players hungrier, less set in their ways, cultural changes. Funny how sometimes teams actually improve after losing a ton of seniors.
UConn case in point.
Another point, even us boneyarders forget is that Geno and the staff get really good players.
Anxious for an Amari siting
There is no fear of Dorka being replaced when she comes back. Aubrey played great…could possibly replace another player, depending on the matchups.I am a big Dorka fan,but you better hurry back soon, don't wantcha to get Wally Pipped. Your replacement looked pretty darn good.
Good question. I sure hope so!Does anyone know if Aubrey is coming back next season?

I’d still love for Amari to blossom and have a breakout game that showcases all that potential she has. Shame for such a positive teammate with such potential to struggle to realize it.No need to put in any more worry time about Amari.
True ’dat, but they recruited her. There’s got to be something there.Up 23 with 2+ minutes left, and she's still not in the game. Probably no need to be anxious anymore.
Haley Jones- Ugh! and more Ugh!Just watched the finish. 2 unbelievable brain farts by Stanford with seconds left. A five second call and calling a timeout when there weren’t any left. Stanford should definitely drop.
I got it. Nika has the highest arc on a set shot and Lou has the highest arc on a jump shot.Have you seen Nika’s?
Good line Bigboote!. Happens regularly. Might be "rifled another long assist to Aubrey, Aaliyah, Azzi or Lou" Praying that Caroline will be on that list soon.Regarding Nika's three points: It's hard to score when you don't need to cross half-court because you made the long pass.
Go to the UConn women's site, to the schedule, to the box score (the PDF box score).Does anyone know where one can find a stats sheet from this game? Looking for more than your ESPN box score.
