Tip of the hat to Sonny44 for his thread on "keys to success for UConn", which prompted me to look up the following stats. They support the idea that Stewie is the biggest key to UConn's success next season. IMO, she does the most important things UConn needs to win games:
1. Points - Stewie led the team in points each of the last two years w/ 777 and 686 points. Even more impressive, the next closest scorer each year was 130 & 121 points away. Despite the defensive attention, Stewie scores & scores...
2. Rebounds - Stewie was 1st in rebounds this past year, and 2nd two years ago. But, she was 1st BOTH years in offensive rebounds, a critical stat for winning.
3. Assists - After finishing 4th in assists two years ago, Stewie was 2nd this past year to only MoJeff. This is critical to UConn's offense w/ Stewie increasingly receiving double coverage.
4. Blocks - Over the last three years, Stewie has finished 1st, 1st and 2nd in blocked shots. There is no telling how many shots opponents didn't even try with the threat of Stewie near by. She is a defensive presence even without blocking or rebounding.
5. Games - Stewie has started 79 of 79 games in the past two seasons. Her 2,325 combined minutes played was more than anyone on the roster.
6. Free throws - Nobody gets fouled more than Stewie. She has been 1st all three years. Also, nobody makes more free throws than Stewie. She has scored 362 points from the charity stripe, far more than anyone else. Can't stop her and shouldn't foul her....
No one on the UConn team does ALL the things that Stewie does... Last year she was 1st in points, rebounds and free throws. She was 2nd in assists, steals and minutes. The biggest key to UConn's success is Stewie. Just my opinion.
Go Huskies..!!
P.S. - Love that pic of Breanna...
