UConn’s Women’s Basketball: The Untold Story Behind a Potential New Dynasty

The odds at most sportsbooks for Naismith Player of the Year suggest that it is a two-player race between Audi Crooks of Iowa State and Sarah Strong of UConn. While Crooks is completely unstoppable as a scorer, Strong’s all-around game should give her the edge.

She leads UConn on a per-game basis in points, rebounds and steals while being tied for the team lead in assists and blocks. All while shooting 60.0% from the field, 42.4% on 3-pointers and 88.9% from the free throw line.

Sarah Strong 2pt percentage

Among all Division I players who attempted at least 25 3s since 1999-00, only two have averaged more points than Strong while shooting 60% from the field and 40% on 3s: Middle Tennessee’s Alysha Clark in 2008-09 and UConn’s Napheesa Collier in 2016-17.
