Better

UConn looked a lot better against St. Johns today. (Their numbers were a lot better, too.) Sophomore center Stefanie Dolson had a great game, and Bria Hartley even managed to drive to the basket once or twice.

They'll play Notre Dame tomorrow, on ESPN. I'm not hopeful, but maybe they'll surprise me?


In the world of the local Huskies, freshman point guard Jazmine Davis won freshman-of-the-year. Her numbers were CRA-ZY this season. She wasn't even supposed to be a starter, but their superstar senior Kristi Kingma was lost to a season-ending injury during the summer and Davis was moved to the starting line-up. She played a team-high 35.4 minutes a game and is the Huskies second-highest scorer with 16.2/game (center Regina Rogers has 16.3/game). That 16.2 points/game makes her the highest scoring freshman in the Pac-12 and makes her the fourth-highest scoring freshman in the country.


Speaking of freshman-of-the-year, the UConn Huskies had one, too. Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis (who was the top ranked high school senior) was the Big East's freshman-of-the-year and sixth-woman-of-the-year.

Dolson has come a long ways since the summer of 2010, when she was kind of overweight and under fit. She has trimmed down a bit, but more importantly has much better stamina, which helps her scoring through the end of the game.
 
Most of the transformation happened in her freshman season. I seem to recall a Big East Tournament game last year where she played the full 40 minutes!

But yeah, she's come a long way since the Baylor @ UConn game in 2010 -- the first game I ever watched!
