My apologies if some of the links are duplicate from the day before and even duplicates in the same day. My search engine gives me a 24 hour period and I can't read every article to see if some are the same. And some sites make a simple edit and put it back out there and it looks new to me.

The McDonalds game was tonight and boy, is Notre Dame going to be loaded. Erin Boley and Jackie Young are two dynamite players that will fit right into McGraw's offensive and defensive schemes.
But UConn did just fine with this Dangerfield kid. She will be getting plenty of respect!!!
She only scored 6 points but in an all-star game that you don't see a lot of assists, she led everyone with 6 assists. And she hit a 25 foot shot for three of her points.

UConn was still celebrating their victory against Texas, on the court, when several "fans" penned articles claiming the game "exposed" the Huskies. I guess when you don't win by 60, it was a bad game. Instead, let's consider why the Huskies had a wonderful 40 minutes against a team that finished 31-5 this season. Consider:
1. UConn led by 23 points with 36 seconds to play and won the game by 21 points.
2. The Huskies shot 56.4% from the field and 85.7% from the free throw line.
3. For the game, all five starters made at least one three point basket & the team was 12-21 or 57.1%.
4. Led by Moriah's 9 assists, the Huskies had 24 assists on 31 baskets.
5. Stewie had a double-double of 21 points and 13 rebounds.
6. The defense held Imani Boyette, the 6'7" center from Texas, to 4 points and 6 turnovers. She also had 3 fouls & played only 24 minutes.
7. Texas missed 38 shots (60%), including 17 three point attempts.
8. UConn never trailed in the game, had a halftime lead of 15, a 3rd period lead of 19 and a final margin of 21.
9. Three Texas starters scored a combined 11 points on 4-16 shooting. Mo and Kia scored 11 points each.
10. The Texas defense gave up an average of 56.4 points per game. UConn scored 86.
The only thing exposed against Texas was that some fans will find something to whine about regardless of how the Huskies play.
