Looks to me that if either Baylor or Notre Dame win this, JBB is going to be the winner. But being a UConn fan....how can he live with himself????

Here is my UConn/Syracuse Post Game Report.

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

By David in Naples!!!!!

I asked and David delivered!!! A few stats from the last three games for UConn.

Three amazing stats from the last three games....
1. Katie Lou going 10-10 from 3 point range vs USF...finishing with 40 points. Only third Husky to get 40 in a game.
2. Totaling 95 assists in 3 games..!! Average of almost 32 per game..!!
3. Napheesa shooting 22-30 from inside the arc. That is 73.3%..!!

P.S. - Bonus stat = UConn went 41-76 from 3 point range in last three games. That is 54%..!

And now some more numbers -

Over the last three games, covering the AAC championship and the first two rounds of the NCAA, UConn has been playing their best basketball of the season. Every player seems to have reached the optimum level of energy, decision making and chemistry. Geno's engine is running smooth and efficiently. Consider:

1. In the last three games, UConn has scored 310 points or 103+ points per game.
2. The Huskies have 95 assists on 114 baskets. That is 83.3%..!
3. Three point shooting is on fire at 54% on 41 made threes on 76 shots.
4. UConn has made 41 of 49 free throws for a 84% team average.
5. Opponents have turned the ball over 51 times and UConn has blocked 17 shots.
6. Gabby and Napheesa have made 43 of 59 shots from inside the 3 pt arc. That is an amazing 73%.
7. The margin of victory in these 3 wins has been 49 points.

Everybody is shooting and passing well. Lou went 10-10 from three range, then followed that with 11-13 from the free throw stripe. Kia scored 53 points in two games on 18-23 shooting (78%). Saniya has 17 assists and averages 31 minutes per game. And Pheesa and Gabby are...well, they are playing like senior All Americans.

On to UCLA on Saturday..!!

Go Huskies..!!
