On Saturday against Seton Hall, UConn women’s basketball notched an assist on 25 of 31 baskets — a rate of 80.6, tied for its second-highest mark of the season. The Huskies are on pace for one of their best passing seasons ever.

In the Her Hoop Stats Era (2009-present), their 24.3 assists per game would be their top mark in a single campaign — one full assist better than the next closest squad — while their assist rate of 69.3 would rank second only to 2016-17 (71.3).

While unselfishness and a willingness to pass have always been hallmarks of the program, Geno Auriemma suggested that the current squad may be taking it too far.

“One of the not-so-perky perks, I guess, of coaching women's basketball at UConn, you get a lot of unselfish players,” he said. “It's a good problem to have that they want to be very unselfish, but there's a fine line.”
