In 1988, UConn women’s basketball added seven freshmen to the roster — a group that included Debbie (Baer) Fiske, Meghan (Pattyson) Culmo, and Wendy Davis — and went on to win the program’s first Big East regular season and tournament championships.
32 years later, the Huskies are favorites to win the Big East in their first year back while again integrating seven players that have never suited up for the team before — newly-eligible Tennessee transfer Evina Westbrook and freshmen Paige Bueckers, Autumn Chassion, Aaliyah Edwards, Piath Gabriel, Mir McLean, and Nika Muhl.
