UConn women’s basketball comes back from the holiday break to a top ten match-up at No. 8 Baylor. In the Huskies’ final game before the start of conference play, they will likely face their toughest test so far this season.
Guarding the Bears’ star senior center Kalani Brown in the paint will be the toughest part of that test. The 6-foot-7 preseason All-American is averaging 14.8 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, and is shooting 62 percent from two point range. Junior forward Lauren Cox follows not far behind, with 11.7 points and 6.4 boards per game. Brown and Cox’s size and athleticism will create difficult match-ups in the paint.
