It seems to be the day for former UConn stars to receive prestigious honors.
First, it was Sue Bird, Swin Cash, Maya Moore and Diana Taurasi named to the WNBA 20@20 as the 20 best players in the 20 WNBA seasons. Now it is Breanna Stewart and Morgan Tuck being nominated for NCAA Woman of the Year.
They are now in contention to join 1995 honoree Rebecca Lobo as the only winners of the award from UConn.
Rachel Banham, Tuck's fellow rookie with the Connecticut Sun, is also a candidate.
