UConn Women’s Basketball: Megan Walker Primed for a Second-Year Leap

To say Megan Walker underwhelmed in her first season with the UConn women’s basketball team is a bit of an understatement. Despite coming in as the top-rated recruit in the nation, Walker struggled for much of the season, failing to earn a consistent spot in the rotation before getting relegated to the bench for the NCAA Tournament.

Even with some high points — most notably playing 16 minutes and pulling in six big rebounds in the Huskies’ first matchup with Notre Dame — more often than not Walker drew the ire of head coach Geno Auriemma for much of the season.
