Poll Will Napheesa top Katie-Lou for Most Points Scored

[Buzzyboy]

It looks like KLS would have to average 18 points a game and play in the Championship game to exceed Breanna. Pheesa would have to average about 21 ponts a game in the same scenario.

Updated points scored by Sophomores at UConn

503 - Shea Ralph, Kara Wolters
533 - Bria Hartley
540- Tina Charles
564 - D. Taurasi, S. Abrosimova
596 - Nykesha Sales
656 - Kerry Bascom
670 - Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis
688 - Napheesa Collier
709 - Katie Lou Samuelson
754 - Maya Moore
777 - Breanna Stewart

Katie Lou needs four more games averaging 17 points each to tie Breanna's Sophomore scoring mark (which came in a 40-game season). Together, Katie Lou and Napheesa have scored 46.85% of the team's points this season. Truly impressive Sophomore leap for both of these amazing players.

Amazing that Bascom is still sixth all time after so many years. My hat's off to her.

 

[BroadwayVa]

My money's on Lou, though it could go either way. As UConn moves into the Sweet Sixteen and beyond, Pheesa may be needed to do more work underneath, and she is (alas!) more foul prone and may get more bench time.

My feelings are conflicted on this---my personal belief is Lou will sit back and support the team and Napheesa in their scoring--if those others find scoring difficult--she'll once again put on her DT clone outfit and take over the scoring---she has the DT gene--but the California girl mentality--. I cannot think of a kid on this UConn starting 6 I don't love and hope the best for---I too have great hopes for the bench and respect the work they put in for Uconn's successes..

Only if Lou goes into another slump. Lou has had her slump for the year, so we hope that won't happen again. Collier is consistent. She does not have slumps. She shoots lay-ups.
It's hard to have a slump or off night when most of your shots are layups.

 

[CMC'72]

What I am sure of is the day after both Lou and Pheesa were named Naismith candidates, and Kia was left off...

That very day Kia started her shooting streak.

Connection?

After today's game Katie-Lou has 724 Points and Napheesa has 715 points. Both are averaging over 20 points per game.

And they're both hanging in at over 20 ppg. For a program that has had only three players average over 20 points per game in its history, having two in one season is pretty cool.

it matters little in the overall scheme of things and will mean even less if they lose

Napheesa ends up as the scoring leader for this year.

Napheesa 754 Katie-Lou 747 Only if both had scored two more points in the Miss St Game.

Napheesa ended up tied for 2nd with Maya and KLS follows in 4th.

To think that Napheesa and Katie Lou would score 26 points combined seemed unfathomable. Three more points and they still would have been 12 points under their combined average. There's always next year.

 

[CONNMAN98]

At least they both ended the year scoring over 20 ppg, becoming only the 4th and 5th Huskies to accomplish it in one season!
