Notebook: How does UConn women’s basketball prepare for DePaul? ‘It’s impossible’

UConn women’s basketball hasn’t exactly faced a murderers’ row of high-octane offenses in its first five games, with only one of the Huskies’ opponent — Seton Hall — ranking in the top 100 nationally for scoring offenses. But with the No. 18 DePaul Blue Demons coming to Storrs on Tuesday night, UConn will go see an offense like no other.

DePaul plays at a furious pace, averaging the second-most possessions per game in the country (84.6), while also launching threes at an astonishing rate (27.7 per game). This typically results in high-scoring shootouts. DePaul’s victories this season have ended with final scores of 128-66, 86-82, and 90-81, while its losses closed with scores of 93-91 and 116-76.
