Why Sarah Strong Is the BEST Player in Women’s College Basketball… And It’s NOT EVEN CLOSE

Sarah Strong is not from this planet — and her performance against Ohio State proved it. In UConn’s 100–68 domination, the sophomore delivered one of the most complete games we’ve seen in years: 29 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 steals, 3 blocks, +41, and a full-court Wes Unseld–style outlet pass that only a generational player makes. In this episode, Mark Zanetto breaks down why Sarah Strong is already the best player in women’s college basketball, why it’s not particularly close, and why Geno Auriemma says the things she does are “not normal” — even though she’s starting to make them look routine. We also dive into the hottest debate in UConn Nation: Blanca Quiñónez vs. Ashlynn Shade and how Geno manages his rotations. Blanca was electric (18 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals in her second game), but her 5 turnovers show why Geno leans on experience and consistency. Starting spots don’t matter — minutes do, and Blanca is already playing like a future star. Additional breakdowns include: • How UConn avenged the 2023 Sweet 16 loss • The 23–6 second-quarter explosion • UConn’s 30 assists on 39 made shots • 37 points off turnovers • Azzi Fudd’s bounce-back after a slow start • Serah Williams’ frontcourt dominance • Why UConn’s depth is real — and why Geno trusts eight players • What to expect in the huge matchup with Top-15 Michigan This is everything you need to know about UConn’s statement win, the evolution of this roster, and why Sarah Strong is separating herself from every other player in college basketball right now. #UConnWBB, #UConnHuskies, #UConnBasketball, #NCAAWBB, #SarahStrong, #GenoAuriemma, #BlancaQuinonez, #WomensBasketball, #CollegeBasketball, #bigeastenergy Learn more about your ad choices.
