NCAA Womens Basketball: Boston U at Connecticut - Source: Imagn

The Bulls (2-1) have a solid team but this game just proves that they are not among the elite quite yet. The Huskies (2-0) are in contention for the national championship this year.
Let’s take a deeper dive into the box score and discuss what happened.
The USF Bulls struggled shooting the basketball as they were 21-of-58 (36.2%) from the floor. Even at the free-throw line they struggled, knocking in just 3-of-12. They crashed the offensive glass and collected 12 offensive rebounds but they just could not capitalize and keep the game close.
The UConn Huskies were absolutely dominant and looked like a well-oiled machine. They shot 66.7% from the field and 37.5% from beyond the arc. The Huskies also had a 35-27 rebounding advantage. However, their dominance came at the basket as they outscored the Bulls 58-24 in the paint.

Vincent's education has helped him approach sports writing from the understanding of what it takes to run a program/team and the business side of it. He has interviewed dozens of players, coaches and analysts and believes he asks the questions readers are interested in.

Vincent doesn’t have a favorite team or player, as he tries to remain unbiased. However, he considers John Wooden the greatest coach of all time and the 1990 “Fifth Down Game” between Colorado and Missouri the most iconic College Sports moment.
For Vincent, College Sports is on par with the pro leagues as it is a professional pipeline with media rights deals and a free agency of sorts. He plays video games and hangs out with friends and family when he’s away from his keyboard.
