No she didn't.  No one expected her to. She's not a freshman. She's had two years of exposure to D1 WCBB, and she's 20 years old. She looked good for the brief amount of time she was in there.

The Blue Devils were suppose to be the quintessential three point specialist coming in to the game. I commented in another thread that they did not gain that reputation against the kind of defense they were going to see from UConn, I was right. Just the opposite occurred. UConn flipped the script. The Blue Devils got a dose of their own medicine. It was the Huskies that put on a show of how to make shots behind the arc. Lots of DePaul's shots were either blocked or changed because of UConn's tight unrelenting defense.

The game started out fast with each team trading baskets in the first quarter, but slowed to a crawl by the middle of the third quarter. DePaul realized at that point UConn was not going to give them any open looks at a three point shot, in addition to being down 20+ points and falling. They were reduced to playing "conventional" basketball, and not relying solely on making 3's.
