We're seeing the value of depth tonight

[alexrgct]

UConn starts slow. Geno puts in the three freshmen. Not only do they pick the team up, but everyone else starts playing better when they rotate back in.

Last year, when UConn wasn't playing well, all Geno could do was shake his head and throw his arms in the air. Now, he can make adjustments and get better results. We're going to miss the hell out of Maya, but I'm pumped to see a UConn team with a full clip this season.

And only Tiff is gone next season! And the two best high school players in the country, plus another super-elite player, are coming in!

Speaking of depth, KML can hit the deep three!

All the frosh played well.
Are they ready for Stanford though?

Is Stanford ready for us? Glad it's at home -- mostly i think it's a useful game for both teams and will help'em in the long run.

CD talked about Stanford a bit on post-game. Great early test for both teams. Obviously a big concern will be the O sisters on the O boards, but CD suggested UConn might have the advantage at the guard spot.

Speaking of deep threes, I noticed Doty and either Faris or Hartley making a point of looking down at the floor to make sure they were behind the new three point line. I wonder if this habit will persist, or if it is just an early season thing. I'm not complaining, they nailed them, so it might be a good habit.

From the Post's Rich E.:

WHAT WE LEARNED
HELPING HANDS: Led by freshman Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, Brianna Banks and Kiah Stokes, the Huskies received 53 points from their bench (32 in the first half). Depth was a problem last season for UConn.
