On Thursday, UConn women’s basketball announced the freshmen class’s new jersey numbers on Twitter. And to fans, those numbers will look awfully familiar. Four out of five chose numbers that were worn by the Huskies’ departing players last season — Mir McLean was the only one to go in a different direction.
As a reminder, NCAA rules only allow players to wear numbers with the digits 0-5, so the options are somewhat limited.
