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




GO UCONN!!!!!

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


This is when I am annoyed with SNY not allowing anyone to post replays of the game. I was out to dinner tonight and was not able to watch any of the game. 

Sounds like Paige and Edwards led the way with Paige having an excellent second half.

The defense looked to be excellent in this game and they will need that on Sunday. Geno said in his interivew that he would be thrilled to get the same shots they got in this game for the rest of the season. He said sometimes you just miss.

Putting together the UConn/South Carolina Pregame Report. It will be out after the Thursday South Carolina game. 

Enjoy the highlight and interivew videos and the articles in the UConn Link section.

Let's hear it for the UConn practice players!!!


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

The stuff that Nika has had to live with from a certain segment of UConn fans over the years has been extensive. From UConnbbweekly - 

“She's having the best year since she’s gotten here,” head coach Geno Auriemma declared. “Even if she doesn't have 1,000 assists like last year, this is her best year by far.”

The numbers bear that out. While Mühl’s assists are down from 7.9 last season to 6.3 this year — though she’s on pace to surpass Bird’s mark of 231 again — everything else is up. She currently has career-highs with 7.0 points, 50.8 percent from the field, 59.6 percent from two, 43.3 percent from three, and 4.0 rebounds.

Mühl is doing damage from all over, too. She’s drilling 57.4 percent of her 3-pointers from the corner, 38.6 percent on threes above the break, and has developed a lethal pull-up jumper, which hits at a 60.0 percent clip. For reference, she shot just 21.1 percent on mid-range twos last season.

“She's shooting the ball better than she's ever shot it since she's been here,” Auriemma said.
All that is while Mühl is getting 6.4 fewer minutes per game and playing alongside two other point guards in Bueckers and KK Arnold..." 

I'm sure some fans will grudgingly give her credit for playing better. From my perspective, it's just too late.

SPIDER STATS
 
Plus one for every assist block point rebound and steal. I don’t add extra for offensive rebounds as it already seems to favor the bigs. Minus one for every missed shot (2, 3 or foul), turnover or foul committed.

UConn 85, Seton Hall 10.

Net positives/minutes played: Aaliyah 31/33, Paige 16/30, Ashlynn 13/37, Qadence 6/12, Nika 6/35, Ice 5/15, Ines 4/4, Amari 0/6, KK -3/28.

Oh Canada!! Subs looked better, keep improving! Go Huskies!
