So here are some stats that may, or may not, surprise UConn fans. 1. [B]Katie Lou can still shoot the three[/B]. After nailing 3-6 from 3 pt range in the first game, she improved to go 3-5 in the 2nd. Going 6-11 or 54.5% is great considering the travel, time off and foreign gym. :) 2. [B]Napheesa is a double-double machine[/B]. :cool: First game, 16 pts & 11 boards. Followed by 12 pts and 10 rebounds. Looks better than a year ago. :D 3. [B]As a team[/B], shooting 56 -123 (45.5%) from the floor and 31-42 (73.8%) from the free throw line. Numbers for the starters are dramatically better, which is no surprise. 4. [B]Collier is 9-10 from the charity stripe[/B], which is good 'cause the only way to stop her may be fouling. ;) Lou is 6-7, which is good for the same reason. 5. [B]Azura is the real deal..! [/B] Points = 21, rebounds = 13, threes = 2 for 3, blocks = 2 and steals = 2. Seems to fit well with the four starters (plus Dangerfield) from last season. 6. [B]The rookies and sophomores are NOT in mid-season form yet[/B]...:rolleyes: Walker 4-13 shooting, Molly 6 turnovers in 2nd game, Camara 4 fouls in less than a half, Kyla 4 turnovers in game two and the four freshman a combined 0-9 from three point range. :eek: Not to worry.... 7. [B]Gabby is Gabby & Kia is a stud. [/B]Gabby is filling the stat sheet with points, rebounds, assists & steals. Probably also driving the bus... Kia played 6 games in 8 days, flew 1/2 way around the world, changed in cab and then scored 18 pts and grabbed 4 rebounds. :p 8. [B]The most important stat of all[/B].... the team looks like they are having lots and lots of fun..!! Geno must be in heaven showing the kids his Italy. Special thanks to the fellow who sent the video and to all the BYers who post scores and stats..!! Go Huskies..!! [/QUOTE]
