Ucla’s Ally Rosenblum Goes Way Back With Uconn’s Katie Lou Samuelson

... who is Katie Lou’s older sister. “It just prepared me tremendously,” Rosenblum said. “Coach (Kevin) Kiernan, Coach (Jesse) Vargas and just the whole staff, our practices are run like college practices, we’ve had so many amazing players come out of Mater Dei that I think that level has always been there, the standard they have always held us to.”. Rosenblum is not shocked that Samuelson is on the verge of breaking UConn’s single-season mark for 3-pointers set by fellow Mater Dei alum Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis. “She has always been a great shooter,” Rosenblum said. “I think she has started as a great shooter and now has molded her game into being a more versatile player. She does it all so she has always been a great shooter, that whole family has been great at shooting 3 s.”. Homage to Bobcats. UConn coach Geno Auriemma’s press conference on Friday was not going to end until he revealed a piece of clothing he was rather proud to slip on. Just as the final words were coming out of his mouth, Auriemma unzipped his jacket to show the assembled media the Quinnipiac T-shirt he was wearing. “I’m just glad we’re not in their ...

Can Any Roadblocks Derail Uconn Express

... meetings with Duke - between 2007 and 2014, all with Joanne P. Mc Callie as the Blue Devils coach - the Huskies have won by an average of 28.6 points. If UConn gets through Bridgeport and makes it to Dallas, then what might be the obstacles? Baylor actually played UConn well for much of their Nov. 17 meeting in Storrs; the score was tied 54-54 with 7:29 left. Then UConn took off, outscoring Baylor 16-2, and that was that. The Huskies won 72-61. The Lady Bears have considerable size, led by 6-foot-7 Kalani Brown, and a lot of depth - with or without senior guard Alexis Jones. But Baylor will be a tougher team to beat if Jones, who has a bone bruise, is able to play. The other No. 1 seeds also lost this season to UConn: Notre Dame fell 72-61 at home in December, and South Carolina lost 66-55 at Storrs in February. Of course, it might not be all No. 1 seeds in Dallas. Last year, UConn was the only top seed that made it to the Final Four. But no matter how you predict it, the Huskies still come out as big, big favorites. Maybe not as big as last year, when it seemed inconceivable they could be beat. But they've kept their winning ways going and don't ...

... is now three wins shy of capturing his 12 th national championship at the school. Yet, despite the perennial powerhouse basketball team, not all UConn students consider themselves Huskies super-fans. “It wasn’t a selling point,” said Andre Hristu , 20. “I’m not even a fan of basketball.”. Hristu, who studies economics, commutes to Stamford from Easton. He plans to transfer to finish his degree in Storrs. “At the Storrs campus, you’re there all the time,” he said. “Here, most people are working and they come here after work, so no one really has time to unite like they do at Storrs.”. Anthony Santiago , an 18-year-old city resident who is majoring in finance, said the Huskies have a following on the Stamford campus, “but definitely not as much as Storrs, probably. I feel like there you’re just in that kind of ...
