From Jim Fuller's blog today:
Time with family just what UConn's Jefferson needed
...NURSE CONTINUES TO SHINE
In the take it for what it is worth department, after 10 games as a freshman Bria Hartley had 137 points. Yesterday was Kia Nurse's 10th game at UConn and she also has 137 points.
Obviously they are playing with different teammates and against different teams but it is interesting to compare stats and see how the points are being accounted for.
First of all, Hartley played five more minutes per game than Nurse and attempted 15 more shots. Nurse has the edge is FG percentage (57.1 to 49.5) and assist/turnover ratio (38/15 for Nurse, 29/19 for Hartley). Hartley attempted 12 more 3-pointers and made four more. The biggest difference is at the free-throw line as Nurse has attempted nearly twice as many foul shots but she is shooting just 64 percent from the line while Hartley was at a sizzling 86.4 percent at this point in her career.
I did some research on best scoring starts through 10 games but forget to include Jen Rizzotti on the list. Although I know Rizzotti had 96 points in her first eight games thanks to some previous research I did, I don't have her 10-game numbers. But here are the numbers of some prominent UConn stars both then and now.
Breanna Stewart (12-13) 169Maya Moore (07-08) 165
Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis (11-12) 158Rebecca Lobo (91-92) 143
Bria Hartley (10-11) 137
Kia Nurse (14-15) 137Nykesha Sales (94-95) 134
Svet Abrosimova (97-98) 131
Shea Ralph (96-97) 130
