Connecticut Bringing International Flavor
A perennial powerhouse, the Connecticut Huskies bring a specific uniqueness in 2022-23 as the Huskies' projected starting five hails from five different
countries.
Aaliyah Edwards - Kingston, Ontario, Canada
Nike Mühl - Zagreb, Crotia
Lou Lopez Sénéchal - Grenoble, France
Dorka Juhász - Pécs, Hungary
Aubrey Griffin - Ossining, New York
Scouting Connecticut (22-4, 14-1 BIG EAST)
For the first time in 30 years, the Huskies dropped consecutive games, falling to South Carolina at home on Feb. 5 (81-77) and to Marquette on Feb. 8 (59-52).
Despite the consecutive setbacks Connecticut remains as a projected NCAA top seed and the clear cut favorite in the BIG EAST Tournament. The Huskies weakness this season has been injuries. Connecticut had to postpone a game earlier this season with DePaul, falling below the seven scholarship athlete threshold.
Connecticut, however, remains a dynamic team regardless of who is on the floor. Aaliyah Edwards leads the squad with 16.6 ppg and 8.8 rpg, while Lou Lopez Sénéchal brings 16.1 ppg and Dorka Juhász averages 16.1 ppg.
Edwards and Juhász were dominate in the first meeting, combining for 45 points and 38 rebounds.
Scouting Creighton (18-6, 12-4 BIG EAST)
Over the Bluejays last five games, Creighton is shooting 51.1 percent from the field (141-of-276). That has helped the Bluejays go 5-0 during the stretch. Overall Creighton has won sixth straight entering the game with #6 Connecticut.
The trio of Lauren Jensen, Morgan Maly and Emma Ronsiek lead Creighton's scoring attack. Jensen holds a team-high 16.3 ppg, while Maly and Ronsiek are right behind at 15.8 ppg and 13.5 ppg respectively.
Keys To the Game on Wednesday, February 15
Chase for 1,000 Continues for Maly and Jensen
Creighton's Big Three are very likely to become teammates with over 1,000 points in a Creighton
uniform sometime next season. Emma Ronsiek reached the plateau first on Feb. 12, 2023 against Xavier.
Emma Ronsiek - 1,000 points
Morgan Maly - 939 points
Lauren Jensen - 827 points
Pink Out Auction Concludes
When Creighton Women's Basketball hosts Georgetown on Saturday, February 18th in their annual Pink Out game, Bluejay players will wear pink shooting shirts and pink jerseys for the game.
This year's auction concluded on Sunday, February 12. There are 12 jerseys and two team-signed balls listed for bidding. The 2023 auction raised the most funds of any season, bringing $6280 to benefit The American Cancer Society Hope Lodge. The Hope Lodge offers a home away from home for cancer patients traveling To Omaha to receive their
lifesaving treatment.

Bluejays Match Road Win Mark Under Flanery
Entering the game at #6 Connecticut, the Bluejays have already match the most road wins in a season under head coach Jim Flanery at 11-2.

Bluejay Culture
In the age of the transfer portal, Creighton women's basketball does things it's own way. Since the 2010-11 season just two players to enter the Creighton women's basketball family have transferred to another school.

Over the Bluejays last five games, Creighton is shooting 51.1 percent from the field (141-of-276). That has helped the Bluejays go 5-0 during the stretch. Overall Creighton has won sixth straight entering the game with #6 Connecticut.

Keys To the Game on Wednesday, February 15
- Rebounding: In the first meeting with the Huskies, Connecticut grabbed 59 rebounds, led by 20 from Aaliyah Edwards.
- Early Offense: Creighton fell behind the Huskies 19-4 in the first quarter of the meeting on December 28.
- Confidence: Marquette's recent win over Connecticut as well as the Bluejays' six-game winning streak should provide a boost. The biggest key to beating Connecticut has been belief since the Huskies claimed their first NCAA Title in 1995.
