In the week leading up to UConn women’s basketball’s season opener against Arkansas, former Husky star and SNY analyst Kara Wolters visited campus and inquired about the team’s supposed depth.
“‘There’s a difference between depth having a lot of depth and having a lot of bodies. So you guys, you have 14 players, can all 14 of them contribute right away?,’” Geno Auriemma relayed. “That’s obviously not true. Then that’s a big question: How many can?”
In UConn’s 95-80 win over the Razorbacks, three players proved they can be counted on: Paige Bueckers, Christyn Williams and Evina Westbrook.
