Hoopfeed: Lineup changes key UConn victory over Creighton in home opener, 96-60

[DishNSwish]

With Kia Nurse and Morgan Tuck in the starting lineup for the Huskies, there was an aggressiveness and focus not seen in the previous two regular season games. Ball movement was crisp (24 assists on 36 baskets), defense was intense (nine steals), and the shots were falling (55.4 percent for the game).


Breanna Stewart led the Huskies with 25 points on perfect 10-for-10 shooting from the floor (3-for-3 from three-point line), along with 10 rebounds and four assists. However, as Stewart emphasized afterwards, it was in the flow of the offense, which helped everyone excel.


“We really wanted to show that the way we played Monday night isn’t how this team can play,” said Stewart. “Yes, shots were going in and they felt great, but it was all within the offense, and other people got going, and we had a real collective effort.”

I think UConn would have won by the same margin regardless of lineups. People already forgot how good they looked against a less talented team. See first game of the season.
