With that being said, of course, Auriemma could not help mix in a comedic remark.

“So I want everybody to double her if they get a chance,’’ he said. “So then I can throw it to who I really want to throw it to.’’

Stef is leading the nation in FG percentage, shooting 60%. Why wouldn't you go to her.

She actually trails Griner slightly. Dolson is at 58.8 and Griner is at 60.4.

However, I agree. Her shooting percentage warrants a lot of touches.

Stef has really been remarkable in her steady improvement from day 1 at UConn to now. There is no doubt she has put in a ton of hard work and there was never been any back sliding in her game. Just continuous improvement. As the article noted there is no doubt she will be an All-American.

Duke blue or North Carolina blue? This is a critical question in North Carolina.

Dolson is 2nd in FG % yet she ranks 168th in scoring. IMO its another indication of guard play/game plan. Get her the ball and she'll score more..

That is an amazing stat. I am no rocket scientist, but it sounds like she is not being utilized enough.

That's nothing - Tamika Williams shot 70%FG, also as a starter, and had only a 10 PPG average her senior year to Dolson's 14.4 PPG this year...

Admittedly its probably not a fair comparison but Griner takes 26% of the Baylor shots while Dolson shoots 16%. Griner has 324 made shots and Dolson has but 325 attemps.
