OK, this is a hypothetical matchup of UConn players, current or alumnae, during the time they play or played at UConn.
The team? Well, this is where it gets interesting. Geno built this program with players from New York and New England. Once he did so, Geno kept recruiting that general region...but then he also went national, even global.
Given that, how about a game between two teams: the New York/New England players versus players from elsewhere?
Here are my teams. Please note that the starter/reserve team was about lineups, not necessarily about who was better than the other
The New York/New England Team
Starters:
PG- Sue Bird (NY)
SG- Kerry Bascom (NH)
SF- Nykesha Sales (CT)
PF- Rebecca Lobo (MA)
C- Tina Charles (NY)
Second Five:
PG- Jennifer Rizzotti (CT)
SG- Bria Hartley (NY)
SF- Breanna Stewart (NY)
PF- Stefanie Dolson (NY)
C- Kara Wolters (MA)
The team from everywhere else
Starters:
PG- Renee Montgomery (WV)
SG- Diana Taurasi (CA)
SF- Shea Ralph (NC)
PF- Maya Moore (GA)
C- Svetlana Abrosimova (Russia)
Second Five:
PG- Moriah Jefferson (TX)
SG- Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis (CA)
F- Swin Cash (PA)
F- Jamelle Elliot (DC)
F- Kelly Faris- (IN)
So, who would win? The NY/NE team has a ton of talent and a great advantage in terms of size, but the combo of Diana and Maya is really tough...
