South Carolina's A'ja Wilson poses unique challenge for UConn defense

UConn has certainly shown that it is capable of slowing down or even shutting down the best player on opposing teams.

Stanford's Brittany McPhee is averaging 16 points per game but she finished with nine against the Huskies while going 3 of 12 from the field. UCLA's star point guard Jordin Canada was 5 of 16 shooting the ball. Notre Dame's Arike Ogunbowale and Jackie Young combine for 34 points per game (actually 33.9) on 45-percent shooting but they had 30 points while missing 21 of their 30 field goal attempts. It's been a similar story in American Athletic Conference play as South Florida's Kitija Laksa was 0 for 11 from the field and Tulane's 2,000-point scorer Kolby Morgan was 1 for 10.
