Talented UConn gunning for first women’s national basketball crown since 2016
UConn fans are getting a little antsy. After all, the Huskies haven’t won a women’s national championship since 2016.
“I kind of get a kick out of that, because most people if they had won one in 1916, people would be happy to win a second one,” he said. “But it is what it is. We created it. We did it. We own it and we embrace it.” “We have depth,” Williams said. “I feel like that’s something that we were missing in the Final Four. We have a lot of guys that can do a lot of different things. And it’s extremely competitive this year.”Bueckers is back at practice after having surgery in April on her right ankle.
“She’s super-talented,” Nelson-Ododa said. “She brings a very versatile skillset, so being able to compete with her and go head to head like that [in practice] I think has made both of us better.”Fudd, the pre-season Big East freshman of the year, leads another top recruiting class that includes 6-5 forward Amari DeBerry; 6-2 wing Saylor Poffenbarger; and 6-2 guard Caroline Ducharme.
Poffenbarger, who joined the team in January after graduating early from high school, is returning from a back injury that kept her from participating in summer workouts. DeBerry is expected to begin the season on the bench behind the team’s three other post players.Westbrook, sophomore guard Nika Muhl, sophomore forward Mir McLean and junior forward Aubrey Griffin may all see their minutes diminish to varying degrees if the newcomers progress.“We’re on each other’s throats,” she said.
