Opportunity knocks for UConn's Chong

There are so many numbers associated with the UConn women's basketball program that simply boggle the mind so why not add another to the growing list.

The last 26 UConn players taken in the WNBA Draft have appeared in at least one WNBA regular-season game. It helps that 18 of those players have been taken in the first round but there have been players like Tiffany Hayes and Charde Houston who have outplayed and outlasted players taken ahead of them. Now it is Saniya Chong's turn to try to make it at the WNBA level.

Chong was taken in the third round, pick No.
