Pretty sure it's not earth-shattering news for me to declare that UConn alums have enjoyed success at the WNBA level.
The seven former Huskies scheduled to play in Saturday's WNBA All-Star Game are the most from one school in the game's history topping the previous mark of six (also by UConn) in 2011. Tina Charles and Tiffany Hayes will start for the East with Sue Bird, Maya Moore and Diana Taurasi set to start for the West. Stefanie Dolson is a reserve for the East and Breanna Stewart is a reserve for the West. Seven times in WNBA history four players from the same school have been selected to play in the WNBA All-Star Game and on six of those occasions, UConn was the program to pull off this remarkable achievement.
