FanDuel—Official Partner of Super Bowl Fifty-Nine. In today's episode of Locked On UConn, we break down the Huskies' hard-fought 72-61 victory over Creighton and how Sarah Strong continues to make her case as the best player in the country. With a dominant 26-point, 12-rebound performance, Strong carried the team early when they struggled offensively, proving her value on both ends of the floor. We also discuss Paige Bueckers' second-half surge and how UConn's relentless defense secured the win in front of a record Creighton crowd. Segment 1The UConn Huskies solidified their place atop the Big East standings with a 72-61 win over Creighton in a highly anticipated road matchup. The victory extended UConn's winning streak to nine games and marked their 30th consecutive conference win. While Paige Bueckers came alive in the second half, it was Sarah Strong who carried the Huskies from start to finish. Strong's 26-point, 12-rebound double-double marked her fifth of the season, proving once again why she's not only a frontrunner for National Freshman of the Year but arguably the best player in the country. Key Game Highlights:• Sarah Strong's Dominance:• 26 points, 12 rebounds, 5 steals, 4 blocks• Perfect 8-for-8 from the free-throw line• Paige Bueckers' Second-Half Surge:• Scored 19 of her 22 points after halftime• Helped seal the game when Creighton attempted to rally• UConn's Defensive Pressure:• Forced 18 Creighton turnovers, leading to 17 points• Creighton's Record Attendance:• The game drew 11,141 fans, a school record, but the energy wasn't enough to stop the HuskiesSegment 2:Why Sarah Strong is the Best Player in the Country Sarah Strong's performance against Creighton adds to her already impressive resume this season. Here's why she deserves recognition as the top player in women's college basketball:1. Two-Way Dominance:• Strong isn't just an offensive powerhouse; she's an elite defender. Her five steals and four blocks against a tough Creighton squad highlight her ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor. Few players in the nation can match her defensive versatility and offensive efficiency.2. Clutch Factor & Composure:• In a game where UConn struggled to find its rhythm early, Strong delivered with 16 first-half points, providing the team with much-needed stability. Her perfect free-throw shooting (8-8) under pressure showcased her poise in big moments.3. Consistency & Reliability:• With her fifth double-double of the season, Strong has consistently been UConn's most reliable force. Whether it's scoring inside, stretching the floor, or anchoring the defense, she fills every role the team needs to win. Segment 3:Takeaways and Looking Ahead• For UConn:• Despite a season-low shooting percentage (40%), the Huskies showed resilience, thanks to Strong's leadership and defensive intensity. They'll look to continue their dominance on Wednesday against DePaul.• For Creighton:• The Bluejays' impressive run hit a roadblock, with turnovers and missed opportunities proving costly. They'll try to rebound in their upcoming matchup against Georgetown. In summary, UConn's win over Creighton reinforces their championship aspirations, and Sarah Strong continues to prove why she should be considered the best player in the country. Whether it's her offensive versatility, defensive intensity, or leadership on the court, Strong's impact is undeniable.

We explore whether this injury could be a blessing in disguise for UConn, as younger players gain valuable experience in the thick of Big East play. We also preview UConn's upcoming matchup against Georgetown and analyze whether the Hoyas can make this game more competitive than their first meeting. Finally, we take a look around women's college basketball: LSU remains undefeated, South Carolina faces a major setback with Ashlyn Watkins' injury, and the national landscape is heating up as March approaches. Segment 1: Who Needs to Step Up Without Paige Bueckers?Azzi Fudd and Sarah Strong have stepped up admirably in Paige Bueckers' absence, with Fudd leading the offensive charge and Strong continuing her reliable two-way play. Allie Ziebell has been the breakout star, scoring 17 points off the bench in the win over Xavier, including five made three-pointers. Her poise and confidence raise the question of whether she's ready to contribute consistently. Other players to watch include Jana El Alfy, who has adapted well to her new starting role, and Morgan Cheli, who could provide impactful minutes off the bench. With Aubrey Griffin set to return in about a week, the rotation will gain even more depth, and her defensive energy and veteran leadership will be crucial. Segment 2: Is This Injury a Blessing in Disguise?The timing of Paige Bueckers' injury could actually be a positive for UConn in the long run. With the Huskies in the middle of Big East play, Geno Auriemma has an opportunity to give younger players extended minutes, allowing them to build confidence and gain experience. UConn's upcoming matchup against Georgetown presents another chance for players to step up. In their first meeting, the Huskies dominated, but the Hoyas have made adjustments, with senior center Ariel Jenkins and guard Kelsey Ransom leading the way. Jenkins has been a force on the boards, and Ransom brings scoring versatility, making them key players to watch in this rematch. UConn must show they can maintain their dominance without Bueckers, and a strong performance will reinforce their position as title contenders. Segment 3: Around Women's College BasketballLSU continues to impress with their perfect 18-0 record, punctuated by a road win over Tennessee. The Tigers are proving themselves as legitimate title contenders, but questions remain about their strength of schedule. Meanwhile, South Carolina suffered a devastating blow with the loss of Ashlyn Watkins to an ACL injury. Watkins was a key defensive anchor and a strong presence in the paint, and her absence will significantly impact the Gamecocks' title hopes. The national landscape is also shifting as teams jockey for position ahead of March. UConn is currently projected as a No. 2 seed, USC is surging behind JuJu Watkins, and several teams outside the top five are making a case for deeper tournament runs. This is shaping up to be one of the most competitive seasons in recent memory, with every game adding more intrigue to the race for a national championship.  “Thanks for listening to Locked On UConn.

College basketball analyst Ryan Hammer joins us to discuss Duke and the ACC's struggles this season, as well as his unique “Trapezoid of Excellence” and how it's shaping his view of March Madness contenders. Finally, we preview UConn's upcoming game against Georgetown and discuss teams poised to make a splash in the NCAA Tournament.  Segment 1: UConn, Villanova, and Big East OutlookWe start by recapping UConn's nail-biting loss to Villanova, their third loss by a combined total of five points this season. There's an ongoing narrative that Dan Hurley's teams struggle in close games, but could these losses actually help the Huskies in the long run? Key moments from the game included Villanova's execution down the stretch and UConn's struggles in critical moments, despite standout performances from players like Alex Karaban and Jaylin Stewart. We then take a step back to evaluate the Big East. Marquette, UConn, and St. John's seem like tournament locks, but Villanova and Georgetown are squarely on the bubble. How many Big East teams will ultimately make the NCAA Tournament, and what do their résumés look like so far? Segment 2: Duke, ACC Struggles, and Ryan's Trapezoid of ExcellenceRyan Hammer joins the show to break down why the ACC is having a down year. Duke's metrics continue to be skewed by weaker competition within the conference, and the broader implications of the ACC's struggles could make March Madness more challenging for its teams. We explore how this impacts Duke specifically and how their performance compares to other powerhouses nationally. Ryan then shares his concept, the “Trapezoid of Excellence,” a unique way of evaluating teams heading into March Madness. He explains how he developed this framework and how it helps him analyze teams' strengths and weaknesses. We also dive into Ryan's journey as a basketball analyst and how he got his start in the media landscape. Segment 3: Georgetown Preview and March Madness ContendersWe preview UConn's upcoming game against Georgetown. Key matchups include Ariel Jenkins, who's been dominant on the boards, and Kelsey Ransom, Georgetown's dynamic guard. Can the Hoyas make this a competitive game, or will UConn assert their dominance once again? We then pivot to March Madness contenders. Ryan revisits his top three teams—Auburn, Iowa State, and Duke—and highlights sleeper teams to watch, including potential Cinderellas. What makes a team dangerous in March? We explore the critical factors that separate contenders from pretenders. Wrap-Up and Outro Recap Major Points:• UConn's close loss to Villanova and its impact on their season.• Big East outlook and the potential number of NCAA Tournament teams.• ACC struggles and Duke's metrics.• March Madness sleepers and contenders. Follow Ryan Hammer:• Social media: @RyanHammer09 on X. And @Ryanhammer on Instagram. • Stay tuned for his upcoming projects and analysis.

In today's episode of Locked On UConn, we break down the Huskies' Big East opener against Xavier at the XL Center. With Samson Johnson sidelined in concussion protocol and Xavier missing their star, Zach Freemantle, this game will test the depth and adaptability of both teams. We'll dive into the matchups, spotlight key players like Liam McNeeley, Tarris Reed Jr., and the returning Ahmad Nowell, and discuss the evolving roles of Jaylin Stewart and Jayden Ross. Plus, we'll analyze the impact of an energetic XL Center crowd and predict how UConn can start Big East play with a statement win. Show Notes UConn's Big East opener against Xavier is shaping up to be a clash of depth and adjustments. The Huskies are looking to overcome the loss of Samson Johnson, whom Dan Hurley called the “heart and soul” of the team, while Xavier is without their leading scorer and rebounder, Zach Freemantle. Tonight's key storylines include the continued rise of Liam McNeeley, fresh off his career-high 26-point game against Gonzaga, and the potential impact of Ahmad Nowell, who is returning to action after a shoulder injury. Jaylin Stewart has stepped up as a dependable shooter and passer, while Jayden Ross has emerged as a defensive spark plug, using his length to disrupt opponents like he did against Ryan Nembhard at Madison Square Garden. This game will also test UConn's ability to handle Xavier's likely smaller lineup, with players like Tarris Reed Jr. and Youssouf Singare stepping into critical roles. A strong showing from the XL Center crowd could be the difference-maker in what Dan Hurley has called a “fortress” atmosphere. Ads FanDuel AdGet ready to tackle the NFL action with FanDuel, America's Number One Sportsbook!

Let me start with this: if the WNBA held a draft today, and Sarah Strong was eligible, I'd take her No. 1 overall— Don't get me wrong, there are phenomenal players everywhere, but Sarah Strong has that once-in-a-generation combination of skill, versatility, and poise. She's just 11 games into her collegiate career, and already, she looks like a fully polished pro. Like she's already has a mortgage, 4 kids she manages an ungrateful husband and crushes here day on the daily, she looks like she has grown people problems, not whether her teammates called her go go gaget arms lol. Nothing rattles her. She's incredibly. Strong is averaging over 16 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals per game, and she's doing it efficiently while being UConn's defensive anchor. She doesn't just fill a role; she dominates the flow of the game. Her ability to shoot from outside, attack inside, and create for others is unparalleled. When you're looking at franchise players in the WNBA, you want someone who can do it all, and Sarah Strong is that player.  When looking at the projected 2025 WNBA Draft class, Paige Bueckers is the clear headliner, pegged as the potential No. 1 pick by the Dallas Wings. Known for her elite ball-handling, scoring ability, and clutch performances, Bueckers has captivated fans since her freshman year at UConn. She's the definition of a complete player—someone who can run your offense, take over games, and lead a team. And honestly, you can easily make the case for Paige going No. 1 over Sarah Strong. Her résumé, experience, and proven ability in the clutch are unmatched. But when you factor in her injury history, I'd lean toward Sarah Strong. Injuries have been a recurring challenge for Paige, and while she's bounced back admirably, the pro ranks draft not just on what a player has done but on what they could become. Nobody has more upside than Sarah Strong. Now, take a step back and look at the rest of the top five in the mock draft—Kiki Iriafen, Aneesah Morrow, Olivia Miles. All incredible talents. But are any of them as impactful to their current teams as Sarah Strong is to UConn? The answer is no. Strong has the size, versatility, and poise to impact the game in every way, and that's rare. She's a scorer, a defender, a playmaker. She controls the pace of the game and elevates everyone around her. The pro ranks are all about upside and potential, and that's where Strong sets herself apart. No one else in this draft class—Paige included—has the ceiling Sarah Strong does. If I'm building a franchise and looking for a transcendent cornerstone, she's the player I'm picking. And yet, I'll say it again: if Sarah Strong were eligible, I'd take her over any of them. Even if underclassmen like Hanna Hidalgo or Juju Watkins were allowed in the draft, Strong would still be my choice. The WNBA is all about projecting where you'll be and future potential, and Strong brings the promise of potentially being the greatest baskeball player of her generation maybe of all time. She has the skillset, basketball IQ, and poise to transform a franchise from day one—exactly what you look for in a No. 1 overall pick. Now, you might argue Paige Bueckers has the track record, and JuJu Watkins has the raw explosiveness. Both are valid points. But in a league that's constantly evolving toward positionless basketball, I want the player who can impact every aspect of the game from day one. Sarah Strong is that, and that's why, if I had the No. 1 pick, she's the choice.”   FAN DUEL: Get ready to tackle the NFL action with FanDuel America's – Number One Sportsbook! Because right now, new customers can bet FIVE DOLLARS get ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY in BONUS BETS if you win! The FanDuel Sportsbook app gives you everything you need to place live bets on the NFL - all in one place! So when you get a hunch in the middle of the game, you can check out the latest stats, view live play-by-play and so much more on the same page where you place your bets. Just visit FANDUEL DOT COM to join today. You'll get started with ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS in BONUS BETS if you win your first FIVE DOLLAR bet. That's FANDUEL DOT COM Never waste a hunch and make every moment more with FanDuel, an official sportsbook partner of the NFL  PRIZE PICKS: Alright, UConn Nation, here's something to think about—do you think Liam McNeeley is going more or less than 14.5 points tonight?

The Huskies weren't just good—they were historic, setting a program record with 20 made three-pointers. UConn shot 58.8% from deep and overwhelmed the Cyclones from the opening tip to the final buzzer. The final score was 101-68, but honestly, it felt like it could've been worse. The story of the night? Ashlynn Shade. She came out firing, scoring UConn's first 14 points and finishing the first quarter with 20 on a perfect 7-7 shooting, including six threes. Shade ended the game with a career-high 27 points, going 10-13 from the field and 7-10 from three. Now, Sarah Strong was the game's MVP, and rightfully so. She posted a personal-best 29 points, hit five threes, grabbed nine rebounds, and added four assists. Paige Bueckers wasn't far behind with her third straight 20-point game, finishing with 27 points on 10-15 shooting. But here's the thing: on a night when Strong and Bueckers were both outstanding, it was Shade who stole the spotlight. Her hot start set the tone, and Iowa State never recovered. Led by Shade's scorching first quarter, UConn jumped out to a 36-10 lead, essentially ending the game in the first 10 minutes. The trio of Strong, Shade, and Bueckers combined for 83 points on 65% shooting, including 17 made threes. That's the kind of firepower that makes UConn the team to beat. Looking ahead, UConn takes on No. 7 USC this Saturday in a White Out game at the XL Center. This will be a much tougher test, but if the Huskies can carry over this shooting performance, they'll be hard to stop.” TNT CFP: CFP It's that time of the year - The College Football Playoff is back!

Ayanna Patterson is officially out for the season. It's a tough blow for a player who was showing signs of growth, and her absence will be felt in terms of depth and physicality. Meanwhile, Azzi Fudd remains on the mend, and while Geno Auriemma hasn't ruled her out for the USC game, I wouldn't expect to see her on Saturday. That said, the Huskies continue to get meaningful contributions from their younger players. Morgan Cheli and Allie Ziebell were solid off the bench last night, providing energy and making smart plays. KK Arnold was also steady, running the offense without making mistakes and playing great defense. She's not flashy, but her consistency is exactly what you need from a backup guard. What stands out about this team is the balance. Even without Patterson and Fudd, they're getting contributions across the board. Players are stepping into their roles and thriving, whether it's Ashlynn Shade lighting up the scoreboard or KK Arnold giving you the energy. Depth and adaptability are going to be crucial as UConn heads into a challenging stretch of games, starting with USC. If they can maintain this level of play, they'll solidify their spot as one of the nation's top teams.” Closing ThoughtsThe Huskies made a statement last night with their record-breaking win, and they're poised for an even bigger challenge against USC on Saturday. This has been another episode of Locked On UConn.

Locked On UConn: UConn vs. Georgetown Recap, Iowa State Preview, and Key Matchups Ahead Podcast SummaryIn today's episode of Locked On UConn, we're diving deep into the Huskies' commanding win over Georgetown in the Big East opener, breaking down every key moment, player performance, and takeaway. Paige Bueckers and Sarah Strong stole the spotlight, showcasing their leadership and ability to dominate on both ends of the floor. But it wasn't just about the stars—UConn's depth and resilience were on full display, particularly after a tough loss to Notre Dame. We also look ahead to a challenging week as UConn prepares to face No. 18 Iowa State and USC. From Emily Ryan and Audi Crooks to JuJu Watkins and Rayah Marshall, these matchups will push the Huskies to prove they belong among the nation's elite. With Azzi Fudd's return still uncertain, we analyze what UConn must do to maintain momentum. Let's get into it. Segment 1: Game Recap and Player HighlightsWelcome back to Locked On UConn, the podcast where we break down everything Huskies basketball. Today, we're starting with UConn's dominant 79-44 victory over Georgetown in their Big East opener. This game was exactly the response fans hoped for after a tough loss to Notre Dame, as the Huskies came out strong, led by standout performances from Paige Bueckers and Sarah Strong. Let's talk about Paige first. She was incredible, finishing with 24 points and providing the offensive spark UConn desperately needed to start the game. Her ability to score in transition, hit shots in rhythm, and make the right decisions under pressure set the tone for the Huskies. Paige looked every bit like the All-American player we know she is, and it was a joy to watch her control the game. Then there's Sarah Strong, who was nothing short of dominant. Her 17-point, 14-rebound, 5-assist performance was a masterclass in versatility. Sarah isn't just a force in the paint—her ability to facilitate, defend, and control the boards makes her one of UConn's most valuable players. Watching her hustle on every possession was a reminder of why she's one of the most exciting young players in the country. The game didn't start perfectly for the Huskies, with just four of their first 13 shots falling. It seemed like they were trying to find their rhythm, but once they did, they never looked back. UConn closed the first quarter on a strong run and completely dominated the second and third quarters, putting the game out of reach. They used a nine-point burst in the second to take control and a 14-point explosion in the third to slam the door on Georgetown. Ashlynn Shade also deserves a mention here. She came off the bench and contributed nine points, adding another layer to UConn's depth. When you have players coming off the bench and making meaningful contributions like that, it speaks to the overall strength and depth of this team. Georgetown, unfortunately, didn't have any answers. Kelsey Ransom, the Big East's leading scorer, was held to just seven points on 2-of-9 shooting and committed nine turnovers. UConn's defense was relentless, forcing 19 turnovers that led to 25 points. It was a textbook example of how defense can fuel offense, and the Huskies executed it to perfection. Segment 2: Key Takeaways and What's NextThis win gave us plenty to talk about, so let's break down the key takeaways and what this means for UConn moving forward. First, the defense was nothing short of spectacular. Georgetown managed just 16 points combined in the second and third quarters, and that was because of UConn's ability to pressure the ball, force turnovers, and dominate the glass. This wasn't just a good defensive performance—it was a statement that this team can lock down opponents when it matters most. Paige Bueckers continues to show why she's one of the best players in the country. Her performance against Georgetown was a masterclass in leadership and execution. Whether it was finding her shot, facilitating for her teammates, or setting the tempo, Paige was in complete control. After a slower start to the season, it's clear that she's finding her groove at the perfect time. We also need to talk more about Sarah Strong. This game wasn't just a breakout performance—it was a declaration. She's a game-changer on both ends of the court, and her versatility gives UConn an edge against just about any opponent. Her ability to score, rebound, and defend makes her an invaluable piece of this team's puzzle. Finally, let's not overlook the team's resilience. Coming off a tough loss to Notre Dame, the Huskies could have let that frustration linger. Instead, they bounced back with energy, focus, and determination, showing why they're still one of the most dangerous teams in the country. Looking ahead, UConn faces a significant test against No. 18 Iowa State at Mohegan Arena on Tuesday in the Basketball Hall of Fame Women's Showcase. This game will be a great opportunity for the Huskies to prove they can handle top competition. Georgetown, meanwhile, will need to regroup before their final non-conference matchup against Maryland-Eastern Shore. Segment 3: Previewing Iowa State and USCNow let's shift our focus to what's ahead, starting with Iowa State. The Cyclones are ranked No. 18 for a reason, and they're going to present some tough challenges for UConn. Their offense runs through Emily Ryan, a talented guard who can control the game with her playmaking and scoring. She's smart, composed, and dangerous in transition, so UConn's backcourt will need to be sharp defensively to contain her. Then there's Audi Crooks, Iowa State's sophomore center, who's a dominant presence in the paint. At 6'3”, she uses her size and skill to control the boards and score effectively in the post. This is where Sarah Strong and Tarris Reed Jr. will need to step up. Their physicality and defensive discipline will be crucial in keeping Crooks from taking over the game. Iowa State's ability to execute in the half-court and stretch defenses with Crooks' versatility will be a big test for UConn's defense. After Iowa State, the Huskies will take on USC, another tough opponent led by JuJu Watkins. Watkins is one of the brightest young stars in the game, capable of taking over with her scoring and playmaking. UConn will also need to keep an eye on Rayah Marshall, who brings physicality and a strong presence in the paint. USC's defense will test UConn's ability to execute under pressure, making this another critical matchup. And, of course, the big question remains: Will Azzi Fudd return for these games? Her status is still up in the air, but if she's able to play, her shooting and leadership would be a huge boost for the Huskies. If not, players like Ashlynn Shade and Jayden Ross will need to step up to fill the gap. Both games are big opportunities for UConn to prove they belong among the nation's elite.

In today's episode, we dive deep into the intersection of metrics and narratives in college basketball, focusing on UConn's recent climb back into the AP Top 25 and their marquee matchup against Gonzaga at Madison Square Garden. We explore why metrics like EvanMiya's BPR and KenPom tell a more complete story of UConn's potential and how the AP poll reflects their resilience after a rocky start in Maui. We'll also dissect Gonzaga's metrics, why they're ranked No. 1 on EvanMiya.com, and what UConn needs to do to secure a statement win. This is about more than just rankings—it's about proving who's built for March. Segment 1: Metrics, Narratives, and the AP PollThe AP poll is often dismissed as irrelevant come March, but right now, it's a fair reflection of UConn's progress. Sitting at No. 18 after a gritty win over Texas and a victory over Baylor, UConn is proving they're more than their Maui struggles. The narrative, however, remains inconsistent, with pundits cherry-picking metrics to suit their biases. We dive into the Big East's standing as the fourth-ranked conference and why the Huskies' climb back is as much about grit as it is about numbers. Segment 2: Disrespect or Motivation? UConn as a 6-SeedBracketology whispers of UConn being a 6-seed are fueling the Huskies' fire. Despite a resume supported by KenPom and NET rankings, the media loves to downplay the Big East. We break down why the Big East is alive and well, outpacing a declining ACC, and why the Huskies are primed to outplay their doubters. This segment explores how this underdog treatment plays into UConn's identity and how they've thrived in these moments before. Segment 3: UConn vs. Gonzaga—The Analytics BreakdownThis matchup isn't just about rankings; it's a chess match of metrics and styles. Gonzaga boasts the top spot in EvanMiya's BPR rankings, led by Ryan Nembhard's elite offensive and defensive contributions. We break down what BPR is, why it matters, and how fans can use tools like EvanMiya and KenPom to analyze matchups. For UConn, Alex Karaban and Liam McNeeley are keys to the game, but can they slow down Gonzaga's interior dominance and force them into low-percentage threes? The Garden will be rocking, and this game is a chance for UConn to validate their resurgence—or give critics more fuel. Ad Copy FanDuel:Get ready to tackle the NFL action with FanDuel, America's No. 1 sportsbook!

Alex Karaban was the star of the night, leading the team with 21 points and 11 rebounds. Solo Ball added 16 points, including four clutch three-pointers, while Samson Johnson chipped in with 12 points on an efficient 6-of-7 shooting. Despite Texas' Tre Johnson and Arthur Kaluma combining for 44 points, UConn controlled the game with superior rebounding (39-25) and balanced scoring. Segment 2: Advanced Metrics—Why UConn's Lineups ClickUsing insights from EvanMiya.com, we analyze UConn's top-performing lineups and individual contributions. The lineup of Alex Karaban, Liam McNeeley, Hassan Diarra, Samson Johnson, and Solo Ball boasts an impressive Adjusted Team Efficiency Margin of 53.7, illustrating how UConn's depth and versatility give them an edge.

We discuss how this win positions UConn for future challenges and what to watch for as the team faces tougher competition. From Karaban's consistency to the continued development of players like Tarris Reed Jr., this team looks poised to keep climbing the ranks. Closing Thoughts:This win over Texas highlights why UConn is such a formidable force in college basketball. With a combination of veteran leadership, emerging talent, and analytics-driven strategy, the Huskies are proving they can compete with the best. Stay tuned for our next episode, where we'll preview UConn's upcoming matchups and dive even deeper into what makes this team a national title contender.

 In today's episode of Locked On UConn, we dive into UConn's dominant 85-52 victory over Louisville at the Women's Champions Classic. Sarah Strong cemented her status as a rising star with a standout performance, while Azzi Fudd's sharpshooting provided the offensive spark. Even with Paige Bueckers having an off night and an injury scare for Fudd, the Huskies' depth was on full display as players like Ashlynn Shade and Jana El Alfy stepped up in crucial moments. We break down the key takeaways from the game, the emergence of Sarah Strong as a game-changer, and how UConn's bench keeps them among the nation's elite. Show Notes: Segment 1: UConn's Depth Shines in a Dominant Victory Over LouisvilleWe kick things off with a breakdown of UConn's 85-52 win over Louisville, focusing on how the team overcame an off-night from Paige Bueckers. Azzi Fudd's 18 points, including four three-pointers, kept the offense rolling, but the highlight was Sarah Strong's incredible performance. The freshman dominated with 21 points, eight rebounds, and stifling defense, leading Geno Auriemma to call her the “best player on the floor.” An injury scare for Fudd in the third quarter had everyone holding their breath, but she returned to the bench smiling, providing relief for fans. The Huskies proved once again that their depth is a major asset, with Ashlynn Shade contributing 13 points off the bench. Segment 2: Sarah Strong Proves She's the FutureIn the second segment, we shine a spotlight on Sarah Strong's breakout game. With 21 points on 8-of-10 shooting and contributions on both ends of the floor, she showed why she's already one of the most impactful players in college basketball. We discuss Geno's in-game declaration that Strong was the “best player on the floor” and compare her poise and versatility to UConn greats of the past. Strong isn't just making an impact—she's becoming a cornerstone of this team alongside Bueckers and Fudd. Her ability to score, defend, and control the game has Husky Nation buzzing about what's to come. Segment 3: UConn's Bench Depth and ResilienceThe third segment focuses on how UConn's bench stepped up after Fudd's injury. Ashlynn Shade looked every bit the future star with 13 points off the bench, hitting clutch shots when the team needed them most. Jana El Alfy, while still finding her rhythm, provided key rebounds and defensive stops. Even with Bueckers struggling offensively, her 10 rebounds and six assists highlighted her leadership and versatility. The Huskies' 23-9 third quarter encapsulated their relentless style of play, showing why this team can compete with anyone, even when they aren't at full strength. FanDuel Ad Read:Get ready to tackle the NFL season with FanDuel, America's number one sportsbook.
