UConn Women's Basketball

 I came up to Tampa on Monday to watch the #1-ranked Connecticut women's basketball team play against the University of South Florida.  

UConn won by 85-51, with most starters on the bench in the fourth quarter.

Sarah Strong, a sophomore, is probably the best college player in the country.  I photographed her during the pre-game practice.  She scored 14 points and had 10 rebounds, which would be great by most other players' standards, but below Strong's averages. 

My in-game photos of Strong are kind of blurred and fuzzy.  Sorry.

Senior Azzi Fudd is expected to be a high draft pick in the WNBA draft next spring.  Her shooting was off.  Fudd had 10 points on 5-for-14 shooting.

More Fudd photographs.   I guess I shouldn't hope to become a sports photographer.  At least not when I am sitting upstairs and using a compact camera.

I watched UConn men's and women's basketball teams in person from time to time when I lived in West Hartford.  Living in Florida in the winter, now I can only watch them on television.  This was the first time I could see a game in person in quite a while.
