UConn played Team USA and did themselves proud!!
It was 31-31 at the half and 52-51, Team USA after three quarters. It was a only a three point lead for Team USA in the fourth quarter when UConn started to tire against the great players on the National team.
Team USA won going away and had their biggest lead at the end of the game winning 79-64.
A valiant effort by the Huskies!
Shout out to Megan Walker, who had a confidence building game with 21 points on 9-16 shooting, 3-7 on threes and 7 rebounds. We will ignore the turnover number.

TOP TWENTY-FIVE
The latest AP poll came out and after a great week where UConn beat East Carolina 98-42 and then No. 23 Tennessee 60-45. A really good week by any measure. So, No. 3 UConn is now......wait for it....here it is....now.....No. 4 UConn. Really. They dropped a spot.
No. 4 Oregon jumped ahead of UConn after beating No. 7 Oregon State twice in three days.
Hey, I get wanting to give Oregon more points. They deserve it. But it just doesn't seem right that they moved ahead of the Huskies.
Even worse, No. 23 Tennessee, who actually lost a game this week, moved up to No. 22.
Please explain how this happens.
I'll explain it. the Pollsters are idiots. Your welcome.

Bueckers has a wave and game perfectly tailored for the transition vibe this game has every year. Whether HS, club or with USA Basketball, the future UConn guard has shown the willingness to play fast with the rock in her hands. -- BC

McLean is as good of an athlete as any prospect in the game. She jumps two times before most players can jump and land once. This week will be big for getting a feel on exactly where her game is skill wise as she gets ready to head to Storrs. -- BC
Saylor Poffenbarger had a great game as well.
Here are some DEEP threes

By David in Naples!!!!
UConn Women's Basketball has lists of all the all-time greats that played for the Huskies. The main categories are points, assists, rebounds, steals and blocked shots. Crystal is obviously moving up the assist and scoring lists. Currently, she is 7th in assists with 549 and 39th in scoring with 1,291 points. Great seniors tend get to the top of those kinds of lists.
Up and coming Juniors, and even some Sophomores, also move up those lists. Megan is poised to become the 47th player at UConn to score 1,000 or more points. She is currently at 994. Her 373 points so far this season will go up with the weak AAC schedule coming in February. Her average of 19.6 points per game could help her reach up to spot #40, Kris Lamb with 1,244 points. Moran Tuck would be next at 1,298 points.
Even more remarkable, is Olivia's rise to #16 in the blocked shot category. Combined with last season, Liv's 69 blocks give her 123 for her career. Just ahead of her are Jessica Moore at 125 and Swin Cash at 130. Her best case target is probably Maya Moore at #8, with 204 blocked shots. She would still have two more full seasons to reach #4 Kiah Stokes at 325 or #3 Kara Wolters at 370.
Go Huskies..!!
