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.

UConn Huskies head coach Geno Auriemma and Rutgers Scarlet Knights head coach C. Vivian Stringer have faced off against each other countless times as coaches. It dates back to when Stringer was at Iowa.

Morgan Tuck missed the 2014 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament for the UConn women’s basketball team with an ACL tear. So you’ll have to excuse her if she was a little excited to play.

Tuck made up for lost time against the St. Francis Brooklyn Terriers on Saturday night when she scored 20 of her 26 points in the first half in the 89-33 win. She actually outscored the Terriers 20-14 in the first half.

Oh yeah, Tuck also had a career-high eight assists.

The fans of the St. Francis Brooklyn Terriers made the trip to Storrs, CT knowing their team had about .0001% chance of beating the UConn Huskies in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. That didn’t stop them from showing up though.

There was 3,666 fans at the game won by UConn 89-33. At least 1/3 to 1/2 were supporting St. Francis Brooklyn. Sure it helped that they had Canton, CT native Sarah Benedetti but it probably didn’t matter.

This was the first time any basketball team, men’s or women’s, from St. Francis that had made the NCAA Tournament.

And while they didn’t see a win, SFB fans did see their team give a maximum effort for 40 minutes and look like they were enjoying the moment. That’s all you can ask for in a situation like this.
