Louisville is PRETTY bad offensively. Give some credit to Uconn defense but nothing at the basket just a lot of weaving on the perimeter and missed jumped shots and turnovers. They don't look like a top team at all. I think we could beat both teams at this point in the season.
Was an entertaining game. Lousiville turned it on in the second half and looked much better. They are solid defensively. Any day UConn loses is a good day. They really miss Bueckers. Curious to see how much Fudd will help them when she returns from injury.
With back-to-back outstanding breakout performances by freshman Caroline DUCHARME (#5 overall recruit from Class of 2021) and Dorka JUHASZ now showing why she was a Big 10 First Team selection last season, UConn will be scary good once BUECKERs returns in late Feb or early March, just in time for the NCAA Tournament.
These past few games were just really tough for UConn, given that they have ALL 3 (BUECKERS, AZI and MUHL) of their designated PGs injured, leaving them with only 3 available guards (WESTBROOK, WILLIAMS and DUCHARME) none of whom played PG over the past 2 seasons (although WESTBROOK played PG at Tennessee during her first 2 seasons, but the most recent being the 2018-2019 season).
Agree, UConn will be scary good down the road. I think this difficult time for them is going to benefit them later, giving experience to players who wouldn't have had it otherwise. They are going to be deeper in a real sense, not just on paper.
