When you watch the UConn Huskies women’s basketball team, you’ll notice that they seem to pass the ball more than other teams. One could say they are a very unselfish team.
Take a look at the stats:
Moriah Jefferson – 164 assists
Breanna Stewart – 107 assists
Kia Nurse – 106 assists
Morgan Tuck – 96 assists
Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis – 89 assists
Jefferson’s 164 assists puts her at 47th in the country. As a team they have 740 assists on 1,197 made baskets (61.8%). That also averages out to 21.8 per game which is tops in the country.
Because of this, many opponents have a tough time stopping the Huskies because they just have too many weapons. Stop one, another one will get ya.
So when the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and UConn take the court on Monday night at 9 p.m., look for C. Vivian Stringer to play a man-to-man defense to try and stop the Huskies passing and scoring attacks.
Watch below as UConn head coach Geno Auriemma and Stringer talk about UConn’s passing abilities.
