The UConn women’s basketball team begins defense of its American Athletic Conference Women’s Basketball Tournament title from last season on Saturday at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT.
And if there is one thing that UConn Huskies head coach Geno Auriemma can count on, it is the fact that junior Breanna Stewart will become a totally different player, in a good way of course.
As the season has gone, Stewart has stepped her game to another level. She gets her teammates involved all of the time. But when she wants to score, she can do that to.
If you look at the box scores as of late, you’ll notice that Stewie’s offensive numbers have gone up. And as the conference tournament starts and then the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament, you’ll most likely see her at the top of the scoring charts for the UConn women’s basketball team.
Watch and/or listen below as Auriemma talks about Stewart’s game rising in the postseason.
