NO BENCH, NO PROBLEM?

Four Huskies played 30 minutes or more on Sunday. Fudd played the whole 40-minute game, while both Nika Mühl and Edwards played 36-plus minutes. While UConn’s starters are all more than capable to play full games, it doesn’t leave much room for breathing.

Caroline Ducharme continues to work her way back after sitting out the first game and exhibition with neck stiffness. But her 11 minutes on Sunday, showed she’s still not quite at 100 percent. Ducharme was UConn’s only player off the bench to attempt a shot (she went 0 of 2).

Ayanna Patterson was third on the team with five rebounds, but the freshman is still learning how to control her physicality to avoid fouls.
