      • Duke convincingly beat yesterday #8 Louisville and was once again led by PF Azurà Stevens, one the top freshmen in the nation.
        A reason of concern for Blue Devils comes from the unbalance between starters and reserves (four players entered the game), as all 66 points were scored by the starting five!

        • Geno Auriemma reached yesterday the 900-wins milestone (on "just" 1034 games) when UConn routed Cincinnati 96-36.
          Huskies were surprisingly led by freshman Gabby Williams, who posted a fine double-double with 18 pts (on 8/11 FG shooting) and 14 reb.

          • Waiting for the big clash with UConn next Monday, #1 South Carolina dropped yesterday #22 Georgia 58-35.

            Another fine performance of freshman Brianna Turner who led Notre Dame over Virginia with 26 pts (11/14 FG) and 13 reb.

            • UConn top stars Breanna Stewart and Morgan Tuck were benched yesterday by headcoach Auriemma early in the game vs Memphis, after a sluggish start, and never returned to the game. Reserves Saniya Chong and Gabby Williams each played over 30' and scored 17 & 16 pts. UConn easily won 80-34.

              Princeton continues its winning streak and is now 21-0. Despite a relatively low level competition in their conference, #18 Tigers should deserve a better ranking.

              • Solid performances of Duke and Florida State centers in yesterday games.

Bulgak is a former Juco All-Am and has played with Canadian developmental NT last summer.

                Junior guard Michaela Mabrey scored a career-high 20 pts and hit 6 on 9 threes in Notre Dame rout of Boston College.

                            FSU greatly improved since ex Kansas State Romero joined the team and Seminoles are now rated in the Top-10.

                              • It was a fine "Senior Day" for Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and Kiah Stokes in UConn's rout of Memphis.
                                Mosqueda-Lewis topped the Huskies with 21 pts and surpassed the 2000 pts mark in her career, while Stokes reached her 302th blocked shot. Mosqueda-Lewis is already the team's all-time 3pts scorer.
                                At the same time UConn has already clinched its conference title.
