But in beating Georgetown 90-49 last Sunday, the Huskies produced a few memorable highlights. Christyn Williams’ nifty move to the basket caused an opponent to fall down and her teammates on the bench to erupt. And then there was Nika Mühl setting an example of unselfishness. On one of UConn many turnover-driven fast-break opportunities, Mühl passed up an easy basket for herself and fed the ball to freshman Amari DeBerry for an even easier layup, bringing another celebration on the bench. On a day UConn, with 22 assists on 33 buckets, was making the extra pass, Mühl made the extra-extra pass, and it created a feel-good moment, extending the Huskies’ lead to 34 with 5:59 left. The basket with 5:59 left vs. Georgetown was an indication that the Huskies, now nearly completely healthy, are back to playing to their identity of getting everyone involved, whatever the score, as the regular season winds down.
