Very good article in Five thirty Eight with extensive statistical work.

May be enlightening for those who haven't seen fit to watch much UConn women's basketball the last 4 years.

On March 12, 2013, University of Connecticut freshman forward Breanna Stewart played 37 minutes. She scored 16 points but collected only two rebounds and one block while going 0-4 from 3-point range. With the game tied at 59 and less than 10 seconds to play, Skylar Diggins of Notre Dame stole the ball and dished it to Natalie Achonwa for the game-winning layup — it was the Fighting Irish’s third win against the Huskies in three months.

In the Final Four, less than a month later, the Huskies got their revenge. Stewart scored 29 points, grabbed five rebounds and threw in four blocks while hitting four of five 3-pointers, leading her team to an 83-65 victory and ultimately her first national championship. It’s been all uphill from there.


The article should have mentioned that it didn't hurt that this year Stewart plays with arguably the second best player in wcbb.

Second best senior, anyway.
