An interesting question regarding UConn women's hoops….
If you took a team of just UConn players and alumni and put together an opposing all-star team made up of the best players that didn't go to UConn, who would win?
UConn's team:
G - Sue Bird (multiple WNBA all-star, champion, and gold medalist)
G - Diana Taurasi (see above; also considered to be the greatest women's player of all-time in some circles)
F - Maya Moore (see above; now considered to be the greatest women's player ever)
F - Breanna Stewart (best player in college; soon to be perennial WNBA all-star and gold medalist)
C - Tina Charles (see Bird/Taurasi/Moore - WNBA MVP, etc.)
Bench - Swin Cash, Bria Hartley, Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, Asjia Jones, Renee Montgomery, Tiffany Hayes, Stefanie Dolson, Kalana Greene, Mo Jefferson
I mean, you'd be hard-pressed to come up with a team of non-UConn all-stars that would beat this group on a consistent basis.
