UConn All-Time Greatest

[Skeets]

DT put the entire team on her back and with no seniors carried them to an NC. Who ever heard of winning an NC with no seniors? It was the most audacious demonstration in the storied UConn history. That plus all her other accomplishments makes DT my GOAT.

Stewie had great numbers and Maya was a great athlete. That's why they are also up on the mountain.

I feel like if you picked a single GOAT, based upon college years only, it has to be Stewie. Take a look at the partial list of college accomplishments below:

Would Stewie won all those awards if she didn't play with Mojo and T uck

Agree

Agree 100 %..plus Stewie had Mojo and Tuck and Maya couldn't win her 3rd Naty after Tina left

You mean if she had been forced to play her college career three on five? Well, it would be considerably less likely.

Geno will never let that record be broken for whatever reason. Kind of cheapens it TBH.

And if Geno let a player stay in a blowout game just to break a record, and that player got injured? Better to protect the athletes than the records.

I think the last thing Geno is thinking about when he’s on the sideline coaching is how many points a player has and whether or not they might be in line to break a record. If it happens. It happens.

The only possible exception I am aware of in all my many years watching UConn WBB was a regular season game where Gabby was very close to a triple double, needing one more assist to achieve it. It had only been done once before in UConn’s history.

Late in the 4th qtr, I believe Gabby passed to Natalie Butler, who hit a short baseline shot for Gabby’s 10th assist. The UConn bench went wild. Gabby was thoroughly confused, having no idea she was chasing a triple double. Geno just smiled and subbed Gabby out of the game at the next stoppage of play.

There was also the game against Villanova when Geno and the Villanova HC set up a predetermined exchange of baskets at the start of the game so that injured Nykesha Sales could get her 2000th career point. But that would be the opposite of pulling a player out of a game so they don’t set a record.

Don't forget, Renee Montgomery was a big part of that team with Maya and Tina.

For 2009, but not 2010.

 

[Bigpetunia]

Ahhh, Tina...if perchance you are reading this, fret not! Some of us know.

Point being Stewie was the best player in the nation and Tuck the best power forward while Mojo was the best point guard..pretty tough to beat a team that has 3 of the best players in the nation

Is it too early to add Sarah Strong to this conversation? 🤔

No

Stewie, Maya, and DT are the GOATs of UConn WBB.

I love DT but I go with Stewie. All our preferences as to who we like show. For me why I don't use 02-03 and 03-04 to put DT over Stewie is when DT won it all, the team she beat Tenn, the 2nd leading scorer on the team was 2nd team All-American Kara Lawson. At best Lawson would have been the 5th starter on UCONN's Stewie-led title teams for Stewie's soph - sr years. So while others say Stewie had a lot, I also say DT's competition wasn't that much. .

And as a fresman we know DT had a much better reg season and we know with Stewie it was the opposite. It's all preferences.
