What does Ecuadorian native Blanca Quiñonez's commitment mean for the UConn women's basketball team?
A controversial no-call ended UConn's comeback hopes, resulting in a 23-20 Wake Forest win at the Rent Saturday.
UConn battles Louisville in the women's champions classic on December 7. What exactly makes that matchup so significant?
Where does Aaliyah Edwards rank among UConn's all-time greats? Back in June, I wrote a column about the highly anticipated matchup between Sarah Strong and Audi Crooks. It went down Tuesday night at Mohegan Sun Arena in the second game of the Basketball Hall of Fame Women's Showcase. Although the No. 4 UConn women's basketball team's three-point shooting stole the spotlight in Uncasville, Connecticut, that battle of the bigs more than exceeded expectations. Strong won the first meeting between the giants after scoring a career-best 29 points with five three-pointers and five two-pointers. The North Carolina native also finished a…
No. 4 UConn Women's Hoops comes back down 18 but falls to No. 7 USC Another instant classic between the No. 4 UConn women's basketball team and the No. 7 USC Trojans came down to the final five seconds. Sophomore sensation JuJu Watkins had just committed her fourth foul trying to defend four-time Big East Freshman of the Week Sarah Strong's shot. With Connecticut trailing 72-69, Strong had a chance to equalize the contest. The North Carolina native only made one of her three free throw attempts. Her first went through the hoop; her second bounced off the back of…

No. 7 UConn Women's Hoops ends 2024 with defensive-minded win over Friars When the Providence Friars last entered the XL Center 11 days into 2024, they committed 13 first-quarter turnovers in an 85-41 defeat. Less than 64 hours before 2025 arrives, the No. 7 UConn women's basketball team re-enacted one of their greatest hits from the past 363 days. The Huskies forced 31 turnovers, collected 17 steals and allowed just 13 field goals. In the first quarter alone, Connecticut scored more points off turnovers (13) than Providence had on offense (six). Beyond the box score, the Huskies' press defense consistently…
No. 7 UConn Women's Hoops mashes Marquette in Milwaukee Redshirt freshman Jana El Alfy needed a little time getting back up after trying to grab a missed three-pointer in the second quarter. As she returned to the bench, El Alfy gripped the lower part of her back. The No. 7 UConn women's basketball team's offense stagnated when the athletic trainer evaluated the Egyptian native. The Huskies went three minutes without a point before first-year student Morgan Cheli ended it with a driving layup. When El Alfy rejoined the bench minutes later, Connecticut's small-ball offense rediscovered some momentum. The Huskies, ahead…
Bueckers injured in No. 7 UConn women's hoops victory over Villanova What started as a bounce off the knee quickly turned into stunned silence. Redshirt senior Paige Bueckers unintentionally dribbled the ball off her leg with 1:20 left in the third quarter. A tussle for the loose ball between her and first-year student Jasmine Bascoe ensued. Nearly everyone inside Finneran Pavilion fell silent when Bueckers twisted to the ground and immediately grimaced in pain. She remained down, primarily holding her left knee, for what felt like an eternity. The Minnesota native only required assistance getting back up on her feet,…
No. 7 UConn women's hoops, sans Bueckers, triple up Xavier in Hartford One of the No. 7 UConn women's basketball team's key questions heading into the season involved how they would look without Paige Bueckers on the court. Several players, from KK Arnold to Morgan Cheli, answered the call repeatedly throughout the Huskies' first 15 games of the season. Nearly two years had passed since Bueckers had missed a contest entirely, however. Despite not having their leading scorer because of an ankle injury, UConn more than handled that dilemma against the Xavier Musketeers. As had been the case across the…

No. 6 UConn Women's Hoops wallops Pirates on eventful afternoon in Storrs Paige Bueckers said during a media availability Friday that her “ironic” dream way of crossing the 2,000-point mark would be a free throw. That nearly came to fruition two days later. Bueckers' 1,998th and 1,999th career points came at the charity stripe; point No. 2,000 came around that area. The Minnesota native drove toward the lane less than two minutes into the second quarter. Instead of going for a layup, however, Bueckers pulled back and buried the midrange jumper from behind the paint. The two-time Big East Player…
