UConn women’s basketball’s return to the Big East has the Huskies not only on the top of the conference pre-season poll, but in the top spot for pre-season individual accolades as well.
Christyn Williams was named the Big East Preseason Player of the Year on the cusp of her junior season. Williams averaged 14.6 points and 4.9 rebounds per game for the Huskies last year, following up a stellar freshman season with a good, not great, sophomore campaign. However, since returning to campus this fall, she has noted she feels more explosive on the court than ever and seems poised for a standout season for UConn.
