ask best east game last played situation teams
The two best teams in the Big East are Connecticut and Rutgers. What better situation could you want than to have this game played and be the last one? I don't think you could ask for anything better than that.

Every team we play is a rivalry in a sense, because you try to win every game. That's what it's all about. Who knows who came up with this rivalry?

Every possession was crucial. Every point, every missed cut. It was that kind of a game. It's nice to finally win here.

Offensively we were not making the extra pass and not getting a nice, smooth transition look. We were not attacking or executing our patterns. It wasn't Villanova. It's just the way we play.
anybody break distribute handle improvement next result simply understanding wants year zones
Anybody can distribute the ball, but what she wants to do is know how to break zones and how you can handle things. I think she wants to go to the next step, understanding that you can't play the same way. I think her improvement is simply a result of a year of reflection.
