This team should be similar in talent level to Seton Hall, since last year they were 19-11 overall, and 11-7 in Big East play which tied Seton Hall, and also beat SHU by 12 at home and lost by 12 at Seton Hall. Not much size- they have one girl who is 6'2" and nobody taller, meaning that ONO or Edwards or Gabriel can play center and all will have serious size advantages. This team has one of Bueckers' former AAU teammates, freshman Mallory Brake, who is playing only 9 minutes a game, averaging 0.8 ppg.

The main women players are 5'9" senior guard Tatum Rembao, 14 points per game:


and 5'9" senior guard Temi Carda, leading scorer at 14.4:


This team looks like they may have some good shooters but possibly less athletic than Seton Hall and not much size. They can be exploited inside, and are also giving away several inches to all of UConn's starting guards. The top 3 point shooter is Rachel Saunders, who shoots at 47% behind the arc.

Geno is intense this game!!! Letting Paige have it for passing to Chrystyn with 4 seconds on shot clock rather than shooting, causing CW to hoist up a rushed brick, and getting on Makurat for weak defense resulting in her cheap second foul! Go Geno, coach em up!

Well UConn played really good D (except Makurat), but offense went south the last 5 minutes. Bueckers and ONO looked good but as Geno said they are as a team missing way too many open shots!

Really good defensive game by UConn. ONO had a terrific game- 9-9 FGs, 24 points but nobody over 6'2" to cover her. Westbrook and Griffin showed real signs of life this game. But the 3 point shooting still a little spotty overall. 5-14, in 3 games it's now 14 for 49, which is 28.5%. That's not even close to where it needs to be. They have played small teams and have gone inside a lot, but bigger better teams will make them shoot more 3s and they need to start making some.
