Boy, are we old!!!! 83% of us are 50-79. At 63 years old, as my wife said, I am writing for my peers!!! And we have a couple of posters over 90??? Amazing. God Bless!!

People have said that UConn is our "pro" team since we don't have one and the fact that 90% of my readers did not attend UConn is a pretty clear indication that is true.

Thanks again to everyone that participated.

In the third and final edition of our review of the graduating seniors, we will examine Morgan Tuck's progress from freshman to senior. Geno has called Morgan the steadiest player on this year's team. She came in great and got even better. Consider these stats:

1. As a freshman, Tuck played in 35 of the team's 39 games and started 2. Her 554 minutes worked out to 15.8 per game. This season she played 26.8 per game.
2. Morgan scored 225 points as a freshman on 50.3% shooting from inside the 3 pt arc. This season, she raised that to 451 pts on 58% accuracy.

3. While Morgan's 3 pt shooting only improved from 28.9% to 32.2% during her time at UConn, she saved her best for the Final Four. Who can forget her 4 threes against Oregon State..!!
4. As a freshman, Tuck grabbed 120 rebounds. That improved to 189 boards this year, down slightly from 216 last season. Missing 5 games clearly hurt.
5. For the 2nd year in a row, Morgan passed out over 100 assists, reaching 114 this year and 115 in 2014-15. Talk about consistent.
6. Never a great shot blocker, in her three full seasons Tuck blocked 8, 9 and 13 shots.
7. Tuck's free throw accuracy also improved nicely from 66.7% (34-51) as a rookie to 78.8% (63-80) as a senior.

Morgan Tuck, when healthy, was a nightmare match up for opposing teams. Slightly undersized, she none the less frustrated bigger posts with a variety of moves near and under the basket. She was the slow, but steady balance to the speedy MoJeff and spectacular Stewie.

Good luck Morgan..!!
