This year’s UConn women’s basketball team won’t be remembered for their size. For some teams, that’s not a good thing. But for the UConn Huskies, they’ve just used it as another way to dominate the competition.
“We have five guards on the floor. Well four and half, Napheesa’s not really a guard,” said head coach Geno Auriemma. “Relatively speaking she’s a good passer. The other guys are just really good passers.”
It’s not atypical for UConn to be a good passing team. In fact, it’s become a staple of the program.
“There's a lot of times when I'm watching film where the offense created a great opportunity but the passer couldn't find them,” said UCLA coach Cori Close.
