That being said, I'm going to miss these guys!!!!

Here is my UConn/Notre Dame Pregame Report

UConn/Seton Hall Full Game Replay
UConn/Seton Hall Highlights
Geno - Seton Hall Post Game Interview
Megan Walker - Seton Hall Post Game Interview
Molly Bent - Seton Hall Post Game Interview
Aubrey Griffin - Seton Hall Post Game Interview
Classic Geno
“Molly makes a jump shot. She makes a layup. She keeps it simple, pass, pass,” Auriemma said. “Then she loses her mind and wants to drive in and think she’s Moriah Jefferson and she turns around and throws it to the other team. Another time she’s running back on defense and she’s got No. 5 (Mya Jackson), whose made like nine threes. She runs to the opposite side of the court to guard a kid who is already guarded. So what does Molly give me? Incredible heartburn.
“At the same time, nobody deserves it more to be able to play meaningful minutes in a meaningful game as a senior at UConn. It means more to her and Kyla Irwin than anyone will ever know. Right now, Molly is probably the happiest kid in Connecticut. No doubt about it. Nobody works harder than her. I’m really, really proud of her. If I can keep her calm, I can keep her coming in ... Like a backup quarterback, hand it off, throw a little 5-yard slant, pitch it out and get out of the way. She wants to scramble and think she’s Aaron Rodgers.”

It is amazing how one game can change the overall stats for individual players and the team. For example, Aubrey raised her free throw % from 43% to 62% with her 10-12 night at the charity stripe. Here are a couple more..
1. Molly Bent made 4 shots last night. She had taken 4 shots all season prior to the Seton Hall game.
2. Aubrey scored 28 points in the first 6 games. She scored 25 just last night.
3. Olivia's average minutes played went from 33 minutes per game down to 30 because she played only 14 minutes.
4. Molly Bent raised her points per game from 1.0 to 2.8, by scoring 10 points.
5. Liv, Christyn and Megan now have 70% of the Huskies' personal fouls.
6. ONO now had 75% of UConn's 40 blocked shots.
**************
Christyn Williams is not playing well. At least that is what I read from experts on another board. Here's the money quote.
"After last year I thought Williams would have a terrific sophomore season. So far she has been ok but far from what I anticipated."
Stats don't lie, so hear are her numbers.
1. Minutes per game = 254, 2nd to Megan's 259. (Maybe Geno is unaware she sucks)
2. Field goal % inside the arc = 61.2%, highest on the team.
3. Three-point % = 30% (9-30) Needs improvement.
4. Assists vs turnovers = 19 dimes vs 11 turnovers. Very good.
5. Steals = 9, 3rd on the team.
6. Points = 119, 2nd on the team and 17.0 average per game.
7. Rebounds = 33, including 9 offensive which is 3rd best.
Seriously, 17 points per game, deadly inside shooter, great assist/turnover ratio and on the court 36.4 minutes every night but she is "far from what I anticipated." This guy probably orders a whopper at Burger King and complains it isn't filet minion.
GO HUSKIES!!!
