If you ever have the chance to sit in the floor seats for a game DO IT! My granddaughter and I had a great time at the UConn men's game against No. 8 Wichita State. Thankfully it was a competitive game before they lost 72-62. But the experience is just great (and expensive).

From the Valet parking, to the great pre-game food to the closeness to the court, it was a great basketball experience. I will definitely save my money to buy the same tickets to a women's game. Amazing.

Here are some pictures to give you a feel for it.

The shrimp were the size of my fist! And delicious! Open bar as well!!!

As you can see, we were right in front of the UConn band. My feet were on the court!!! Crazy!!!

This was on the board at halftime!!! What a great surprise!!

So, heading to Florida Sunday morning and coming home on 1/9. Can't wait for a little warm weather and some golf! Going to see Billy Joel New Years eve for the second straight year. Whoo Hoo!!!!

The recent Fun with Numbers quiz highlighted an unusual statistical oddity. UConn has six different players leading the team in the six major stats categories. For example, last season, Napheesa led the team in points, rebounds and made baskets, but Katie Lou had the most 3 point baskets & Gabby had the most assists. It is very unusual for one player not to lead in a couple of categories.

Stewie's senior year, she led the team in points, rebounds, made baskets and made free throws. But, she was 2nd in assists and 3rd in steals. Stewie's freshman year, Kaleena led in points and baskets, Dolson in rebounds, Bria in assists, Kelly Faris in steals and Stewie led in made free throws. It makes sense that the leader in points probably has the most baskets. Or that the leader in assists, also has the most steals (see Moriah her junior and senior year).

Here are the stats on this season's leaders:
1. Points = Kia with 164
2. Rebounds = Azura with 85
3. Made baskets = Pheesa with 64
4. Assists = Crystal with 52
5. Made free throws = Katie Lou with 22
6. Steals = Gabby with 25

Six starters, six leaders.... weird.

Go Huskies..!!
