In case you missed it, here is my UConn/Notre Dame Post Game Report.

And me UConn/Kansas State Pre Game Report is available.

If you get the link to my blog from Facebook, don't forget to share it. I know some of you do, but I'm always looking for more readers. Thanks!!


Here is Logan after watching the UConn/Notre Dame game. He really enjoyed it!!!!

***************************************************************************

Only one good game Saturday among the top 25 teams. No. 2 Notre Dame is taking on No. 16 DePaul in McGrath-Phillips Arena, Chicago.

If this game is anything like last year's barn-burner, it should be a great one to watch. Notre Dame won that one 95-90. The Irish scored 65 points in the first half to take a 64-39 lead at the break. The second half was all DePaul, outscoring Notre Dame 51-30. McGraw was livid with her team after the game.

"I thought we got complacent in the second half, and we can't do that," McGraw said. "The defense was just absolutely unacceptable."

There was a total of 47 three point shots taken between the two teams and they made a an amazing 23 of them. A definite shootout.

It doesn't look like it's on my cable system or ESPN3 at this time. I really want to watch this one.

UConn's record after eight games is 8-0. For some fans, and most of the competition, this is a shock. Even Geno seems surprisingly pleased with the progress of his young team. There are still some statistics, however, in which opponents lead the Huskies. That is not normally the case. Consider:

1. Last season UConn had nearly twice the number of steals as their opponents. This year, the other guys lead 70-67.
2. Opponents have 118 offensive rebounds while the Huskies have only 88. >:(
3. Three Huskies have fouled out this season vs 0 for the other guys.
4. Blocked shots normally are totally in favor of UConn. With Stewie gone, the Huskies lead only 30-29.

Some statistics are as they should be... For example, UConn has scored 639 points vs only 459 for opponents. Made threes are 60-43 for UConn and free throws are 109 to 58. By far the biggest difference is in assists. UConn has double the opponents total, 167 vs 80. That and the point differential explains a lot about this team's success this season. :D

Go Huskies..!!

                                                        ---------------------------------                           

It is Friday and the Huskies don't play again until Sunday, versus Kansas State. So here is an easy, true false quiz for your stats viewing pleasure. If you get them all correct, the Huskies will cheer you..!!

1. UConn has fewer blocked shots than opponents.
2. The Huskies are scoring 80 points per game and holding opponents to under 58 per game.
3. The Huskies have twice as many assists as the teams they have played. :D
4. Opponents are making at least 26% of their three point attempts.
5. The leading scorer for UConn is Katie Lou Samuelson. ;)
6. The leading rebounder for the Huskies, also leads in assists. :o
7. Opponents are out rebounding UConn.




Answers:
1. False, UConn leads by one, 30-29.

3. True, 167 versus 80..!! :)
