We'll also dive into Allie Ziebell's breakout performance off the bench and her importance moving forward. Finally, we'll take a look around the world of women's college basketball, including South Carolina's devastating injury news, USC's rise behind JuJu Watkins, and UConn's projected seeding in the NCAA Tournament.  Segment 1: Azzi Fudd Leads UConn to a Blowout Over Xavier Let's start with UConn's dominant 81-27 win over Xavier. While Xavier isn't a strong opponent, this game showed us a lot about the Huskies' ability to adjust and thrive without Paige Bueckers. Azzi Fudd led the way with a season-high 23 points. What stood out was her aggressiveness—she wasn't just relying on her three-point shot but attacked the basket and created opportunities for herself and her teammates. Fudd said after the game that she felt freer on the court, and it showed. She's building trust in her knee, and that confidence is translating into her play. Sarah Strong also had a fantastic game with 15 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 steals. Her energy on both ends of the floor was key to UConn's success. And then there's freshman Allie Ziebell, who scored 17 points off the bench. We'll talk more about her in the next segment, but her performance was a significant bright spot. This wasn't about making a statement—it was about growth. UConn used this opportunity to build confidence and develop its depth, which will be crucial as the season progresses. Segment 2: Allie Ziebell's Breakout Performance Allie Ziebell had her moment in UConn's win over Xavier. The freshman came off the bench to score 17 points in just 18 minutes, hitting five three-pointers in the process. What made Ziebell's performance stand out wasn't just the numbers—it was how poised and confident she looked. She didn't force shots or try to do too much. Instead, she found her spots and played within the flow of the game. That kind of maturity is rare for a freshman, especially in a program like UConn, where the expectations are sky-high. With Paige Bueckers out, the Huskies need players who can step into larger roles, and Ziebell showed she's capable of doing just that. Her performance adds another layer to UConn's depth, which is critical as they navigate the challenges of conference play and prepare for the NCAA Tournament. Even Paige was hyped for Ziebell. She cheered her on from the sidelines and shared a picture with her on social media after the game, showing the kind of support and unity this team has. This game was a confidence-builder for Ziebell, and if she can build on this performance, she'll be a key contributor for UConn moving forward. Segment 3: Around the World of Women's College Basketball Now, let's zoom out and look at what's happening across women's college basketball because there's been a lot of movement this week. First, UConn is projected as a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, potentially in the same bracket as Notre Dame. That feels about right for now. UConn has been strong but hasn't quite done enough to claim a No. 1 seed over teams like South Carolina, UCLA, and USC. A potential matchup with Notre Dame would be fascinating, though. Both teams are disciplined, well-coached, and equipped with talent that can thrive in March. Meanwhile, South Carolina got hit with devastating news this week. Ashlyn Watkins is out for the season with a torn ACL, and her absence is a huge blow to the Gamecocks' national championship hopes. Watkins was a defensive anchor and a key rebounder, and without her, South Carolina's margin for error just got a lot smaller. On the other hand, USC continues to trend upward. Led by JuJu Watkins, the Trojans handed No. 8 Maryland their first loss of the season. Watkins has been incredible, not just as a scorer but as a leader who makes everyone around her better. USC is quickly becoming a team no one wants to face in March. #uconnwbb #azzifudd #genoauriemma #uconnbasketball #uconnwomensbasketball #uconnwomen

On this episode of Locked On UConn, we welcome Tee Baker, writer for The Next Hoops and basketball scout for Prep Girls Hoops, to discuss the state of the UConn Women's Basketball team heading into a marquee matchup against USC. We break down the Huskies' recent dominance, key injuries, and rising stars who are stepping up to keep the team on track. In addition, we preview the upcoming showdown with USC, focusing on Sarah Strong versus JuJu Watkins and what it will take for UConn to secure a statement win. Finally, we dive into a fun hypothetical draft debate—if underclassmen were eligible, would Sarah Strong go No. 1? Tee weighs in with his picks and thoughts on the future of women's basketball. Thanks for making Locked On UConn your first listen every day.

Tee Baker shares his thoughts on standout players like Sarah Strong, Ashlynn Shade, and Paige Bueckers and how they've kept the Huskies rolling despite injuries to Ayanna Patterson and Azzi Fudd. The conversation highlights the depth and adaptability of this UConn team, with contributions from Morgan Cheli, Allie Ziebell, and KK Arnold helping to fill key gaps. Tee discusses how UConn has handled adversity and offers insight into which player has stepped up the most during this challenging stretch. The segment ends with a discussion on whether UConn's depth can sustain their success into March. Segment 2: USC PreviewThe spotlight shifts to Saturday's highly anticipated matchup against USC. Tee and Mark dive into what makes USC such a tough opponent, from the physical play of Kiki Iriafen to the star power of JuJu Watkins. UConn's shooting efficiency and ability to handle USC's size in the paint are identified as critical factors in securing a win. The conversation also focuses on the marquee matchup between Sarah Strong and JuJu Watkins, exploring how this clash could set the tone for the game. Tee provides his predictions for the final score and key players to watch, while discussing how this game could shape UConn's trajectory for the season. Segment 3: Hypothetical Fun – Draft DebateIn the final segment, Mark and Tee have some fun debating a hypothetical WNBA Draft where underclassmen are eligible. Mark champions Sarah Strong as the No. 1 pick, citing her versatility, size, and potential to dominate the modern game. Tee weighs in with counterarguments for proven stars like Paige Bueckers and explosive players like JuJu Watkins and Hannah Hidalgo. The conversation shifts to the evolution of women's basketball and how players like Sarah Strong represent the future of positionless basketball. The duo also discusses which player from this hypothetical draft class is most likely to have the biggest impact in five years. Ads Featured in Today's Show: Today's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

UConn pulled off a hard-fought 78-74 victory against Butler, showcasing their resilience in the face of a tough road environment and a desperate opponent. The Huskies shot an impressive 46% from three-point range, compared to Butler's 33%, which is significant considering Butler is a team that heavily relies on its three-point shooting to generate offense. This stark shooting contrast brought to mind the Purdue defense from last season's title game against Zach Edey—where allowing tough twos and limiting threes became a bulletproof strategy. UConn's ability to force Butler into less efficient shots while hitting big ones on their end proved to be the difference. However, this wasn't without challenges. The whistle didn't favor UConn, with a 20-to-10 foul disparity at one point, largely benefiting a desperate Butler team on a four-game losing streak. Late whistles evened it out to 20-13 by the end, but many of those felt like make-up calls. Despite the adversity, the Huskies stuck to their game plan, limiting Butler's perimeter shooting and finding ways to execute offensively. Let's break it down in the box score. UConn Huskies Player Contributions Starters:• Liam McNeeley: Led the team with 17 points, shooting 5-13 from the field and a perfect 3-3 from beyond the arc. Added 5 rebounds and a team-high 7 assists, showcasing his playmaking ability.• Alex Karaban: Top scorer with 21 points on 7-16 shooting, including 4-9 from three-point range. He also grabbed 6 rebounds and provided stability on both ends of the court.• Samson Johnson: Perfect from the field with 6 points on 3-3 shooting. Contributed 3 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block, while staying efficient with limited opportunities.• Solo Ball: Struggled offensively, scoring 4 points on 2-8 shooting and 0-5 from three. Added 1 rebound and 1 steal but had 4 fouls, limiting his impact.• Hassan Diarra: Scored 12 points on 4-8 shooting, including 2-3 from three. His 7 assists and 3 steals highlighted his ability to create for others and disrupt Butler's offense. Bench:• Jayden Ross: Contributed 4 points on 1-2 shooting, hitting a three-pointer and going 1-2 from the free-throw line. Added 3 rebounds and 1 assist.• Jaylin Stewart: Went scoreless on 0-2 shooting but grabbed 1 rebound and provided energy off the bench in limited minutes.• Tarris Reed Jr.: Provided 7 points on 2-4 shooting and 3-4 from the free-throw line. Was strong on the glass with 6 rebounds, including 1 offensive board, but struggled with turnovers and fouls.• Youssouf Singare: Did not attempt a shot but contributed 1 rebound in limited minutes.• Aidan Mahaney: Scored 7 points on 3-4 shooting, including 1-1 from three. Added 1 assist in a solid outing with limited opportunities. Butler Bulldogs Player Contributions Starters:• Jahmyl Telfort: Scored 7 points on 3-12 shooting, including 1-3 from three. Added 6 rebounds and 7 assists but struggled with efficiency.• Pierre Brooks II: Contributed 13 points on 4-8 shooting, including 1-3 from three. Went a perfect 4-4 from the free-throw line and added 2 rebounds.• Patrick McCaffery: Tied for team-high with 17 points on 6-12 shooting. Hit 1-3 from three and 4-4 from the free-throw line. Added 2 rebounds and 1 block.• Andre Screen: Dominated inside with 17 points on 4-7 shooting and a perfect 9-9 from the free-throw line. Pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds and added 4 blocks.• Finley Bizjack: Scoreless on 0-2 shooting but added 1 steal in limited action. Bench:• Boden Kapke: Scored 3 points on 1-3 shooting, including 1-3 from three. Added 2 rebounds and 2 assists.• Landon Moore: Chipped in 8 points on 3-5 shooting, including 1-2 from three. Also had 1 rebound and 1 steal.• Kolby King: Added 9 points on 2-5 shooting and 5-8 from the free-throw line. Pulled down 8 rebounds and had 1 steal in a strong effort off the bench. This game highlighted key contributions from UConn's starting lineup, particularly Alex Karaban and Liam McNeeley, while Butler relied heavily on Andre Screen's interior dominance and Patrick McCaffery's scoring to stay competitive. Gametime Ad: The holidays are here, and there's no better time to make unforgettable memories with your loved ones.
