In the precious metals world, 24 karat gold is considered "pure gold." For UConn basketball, #24 is as close to pure gold as one can get. Napheesa Collier struck gold in Sunday's rout of Texas by scoring 24 points, many in close to the iron. The undersized, over performing forward finished with spectacular stats. Consider:
1. Pheesa's 24 points came from all over the court, in close, from the 3 pt arc and from the free throw line.
2. Collier led the team with 8 rebounds, including 6 defensive boards.
3. Again leading the team, Napheesa had 5 of the Huskies 9 steals.
4. Collier played 39 minutes, the whole game, until Geno brought in fresh subs in the last minute.
5. Her two three point baskets came on just 3 attempts. She is now hitting 50% of her threes.
6. Napheesa is now averaging 19.0 pts per game, just behind KLS's 19.1 per game.
7. The 2 blocked shots from last night raise her team leading total to 13.
8. For the season, Collier leads UConn in rebounds (50), made baskets (56), blocks (13) and is one point behind KLS in total points (133 vs 134).
Napheesa Collier has shown up big in every game this year. #24 is playing pure UConn basketball against bigger and taller opponents. The best is yet to come..!!
Go Pheesa..!!
