UConn stats...6 stats that may make you say Wow..!!

[DavidinNaples]

While we wait for Thursday's exciting game against Tennessee, here are six interesting stats from the 23 games so far.

1. The only two players to start all 23 games were not on the team last season. Sarah Strong and Kaitlyn Chen are the only Huskies to start every game. Ashlyn and Jana have played in every game, but only started 12 and 11 respectively.

2. UConn has 257 steals in just 23 games. That is 11.2 per game. Opponents have only 115 steals, less than half the Huskies total.

3. The Huskies have an even 500 assists so far this season, on 743 baskets. That comes out to 21.7 per game. That is the highest average in the last 7 years.

4. Ash Shade is the most accurate 3 point shooter at this point in the season. She is 36 for 81 or 44.4%. Three other players are in the 40's for accuracy. Azzi is at 42.5%, Paige comes in at 42.1% and Morgan is at 40%. (Sarah is at 37.3%)

5. UConn is 21-0 when opponents score less than 70 points. ND scored 79 and USC scored 72.

6. UConn has scored 453 points in the last 5 games. That is an average of 90.6 points per game.

Thoughts ?
Thursday's game is at 6:30 pm on ESPN.
Go Huskies..!!

#2-4 are thrilling and bracing. #5 appears to be the bellwether statistic. One I’d add is that UConn is arguably the second best defense in D1, second only to SC.
