This is not a game thread.  I am not commenting on any specific play. -- just overall first impressions of this year's team.

Lou is the real thing as a scorer  -- 18 points at halftime.   And she can drive to the hoop and make contested layups.   Her defense appears to be at least adequate.   All her play seems to be in the flow of the team's play  -- she isn't freelancing.

Ayanna is really something.   With her athleticism,  the only past UConn post player to compare her to is Tina Charles.   But really,  I would say that she is a a smaller and probably less strong version of Aliyah Boston.   Her relentlessness is quite comparable.

Overall team defense seems more than acceptable against this overmatched opponent.   They are practicing a zone at the beginning of the second half.

Aubrey looks like her old self.  She seems to be playing a 2-guard position.

Amari and Ines do not seem to be part of the rotation.   They have not entered the game as of late in the third quarter.
