UConn women’s basketball kept rolling on Saturday, taking care of business against No. 11 Iowa with a 90-64 victory in the Champions Classic at Barclays Center. With the Huskies winning big despite not putting in their best performance, we look for areas they could improve going forward and why they could really benefit from legitimate competition. We also get into the top performers, discuss whether UConn’s point guard play has been up to the par and then create a Christmas wish list for the team.

I know you guys were nitpicking - what else is there to do at this point? I saw the Iowa win as proof that even when UCONN isn’t playing their best (rebounding, half-court defense, post especially) they are still basically unbeatable. Sure, if they have another 6 point quarter against a top team with someone doing a Caitlin Clark impression, yeah, they could lose. But I don’t care if it’s Texas, South Carolina, UCLA - anybody - if UCONN plays its normal game, they win. I would submit even if UCONN were well below average, any team would still have to play above average (most well above average) to beat them.

All that said, I agree it would be preferable if UCONN were tested a few times so they learn what they need to and when if the game doesn’t go as planned. It’s more insurance than a requirement, though.
