Stewie and MoJeff dominate college basketball just like Batman and Robin cleaned up crime in Gotham City. Stewie, the top high school player in the country, dominated post season awards with gaudy stats and big game performances. Moriah, probably the 2nd best player in the country, worked her magic slightly in the shadow of her partner, but carved out her own place in the record books. Now that those two have graduated, is there a new Batman and Robin playing at UConn? Here's the case for Katie Lou and Napheesa to take over as the new dynamic duo. 8-)

Consider a comparison of all four and their stats freshman year.

1. Games started - KLS = 22
                                          Stewie = 14
                                          Napheesa = 9
                                          MoJeff = 2

2. Points scored - Stewie = 497
                                        KLS = 408
                                        Napheesa = 258
                                        MoJeff = 182

3. Rebounds - Stewie = 229
                                Napheesa = 197
                                KLS = 124
                                MoJeff = 64

4. Assists - KLS = 82
                          MoJeff = 69
                          Stewie = 35
                          Napheesa = 34

5. Three point field goals - KLS = 78
                                                            Stewie = 28
                                                            MoJeff = 17
                                                            Napheesa = 2

In those five statistical categories, the new Dynamic Duo lead in all but points scored. One could also argue KLS and Napheesa had more consistent freshman seasons, with fewer highs and lows. All four brought home a National Championship, but obviously the new duo still had the old duo leading the charge. The test will come this season, with Batman and Robin I in the WNBA. Can Batman and Robin II take over and fight off Notre Dame, South Carolina and Texas for supremacy in Dallas? Time will tell...

Go Katie Lou and Pheese...!!

P.S. - Tomorrow, a look at the other Dynamic Duo, Kia and Gabby..!
