UConn pounded DePaul 103-69 and taught the Blue Demons a lesson in three-point shooting. It is not how many 3's you take, it is how many go in..! Crystal Dangerfield calmly swished 6 of 7 threes from loooong range to show DePaul what 85% accuracy from the arc looks like. Katie Lou and Kia added 5 more threes to help the Huskies win Geno his 999th victory.
Here are the stats that matter:
1. Crystal finished with 18 points, 9 assists, 3 rebounds, a steal and only 2 turnovers. She is now 23-43 shooting threes or 53.5%..!!
2. UConn had 34 assists on 41 baskets, a season-high for dimes. The Blue Demons had 13 assists.
3. DePaul outshot the Huskies 76 to 69, but missed an incredible 53 attempts.
4. Not surprisingly, UConn had a season-high 53 rebounds, led by Gabby, Pheesa and Z with 10, 10 and 9.
5. Katie Lou started the game 1-6 with 2 points. She finished by making the next 7 of 10 shots for a total of 20 points.
6. DePaul had 10 players try a total of 43 three-point attempts. Only 12 went in for 28% accuracy.
7. UConn's starters hung 61 points on DePaul in the first half, and held the diminutive demons to 13 points in the first 15 minutes of the 2nd half.
8. Pheesa went 8-11 (73%) from the field and Azura made 7-8 (88%) from inside the 3 pt arc. DePaul had no answer for UConn's inside game.
9. Geno now has 999 wins and goes for a grand on Tuesday, December 19th.
10. Gabby and Napheesa each had a double-double with 10 rebounds..!
Here are some stats that don't matter:
1. In the last 3:39 of the game, DePaul scored 18 points, mostly by their starters, against the bench.
2. UConn had 24 turnovers, including 7 in the last 3:39 of the game, against a full court press.
The Huskies are 8-0 and deserving of their 10 day rest period during final exams. (Maybe "rest" is the wrong word.) They have the weekend off and CD promised practices this week will be short and sweet. Yes, short and sweet, just like #5...
Go Huskies..!!
