In a season where the idea of “normal” went out the window months ago, UConn women’s basketball’s past week might’ve just taken the cake for the team’s most bizarre stretch. On Wednesday, the Huskies unexpectedly lost Olivia Nelson-Ododa just before tip-off and dropped their first conference game in nine years to Villanova. Then, they earned two tough but comfortable wins over DePaul and Marquette with Nelson-Ododa (and Caroline Ducharme) still out. On this week’s episode, we try to make sense of the three games, look at the recent emergence of Azzi Fudd and Dorka Juhász, and also discuss the field for PK85 next fall.

Azzi Fudd has arrived, folks. On Sunday, the freshman broke out for a 25-point day in UConn’s win over Tennessee to help fill the void left by Caroline Ducharme, who sat out as a precaution. On this week’s episode, we talk about Fudd’s emergence, discuss what else impressed us from the Huskies’ victory and look forward towards the next few games. We also debate whether or not UConn should keep the throwback uniforms on a permanent basis along with plenty more.

Note: On the episode, we discuss the new podcast feed for Chasing Perfection. However, we will not have that up until later this week due to some technical difficulties and other problems.

UConn women’s basketball’s two most recent performances have been quite a mixed bag. The Huskies played poorly in a 69-61 win at Providence on Sunday then traveled to Creighton, where they looked horrible for the first 17 minutes and great for the final 23 to earn a 76-56 win over the Bluejays. On this week’s episode, we break down the inconsistency, look at who impressed and discuss whether or not the good outweighs the bad from the two contests. After that, we preview UConn’s big matchup with Tennessee and debate how NCAA Tournament seeding will be impacted by the result.

If it wasn’t obvious before, it is now: Caroline Ducharme is UConn women’s basketball’s newest star. The freshman hit the Huskies’ first game-winning shot in 14 years to lift the Huskies past DePaul, 80-78. On this week’s episode, we break down the game, why the win’s so important and how it changes our perception of the team. We also look at the NCAA’s initial bracket reveal, discuss whether or not UConn can become a 2-seed by the end of the season and close with a couple quick hitters.

The hits keep coming for UConn women’s basketball. Ahead of the Huskies’ matchup at Oregon on Monday, they lost senior guard Christyn Williams to COVID protocols and subsequently didn’t have the necessary firepower to play a competitive game on the road. On this week’s episode, we discuss how much we can takeaway from the loss, what concerns us the most about the team’s play, Olivia Nelson-Ododa strong performance and more. We also look back at UConn’s wins over Butler and Xavier, and explain why they’re still important.

UConn women’s basketball has been heavily affected by COVID since returning from Christmas. The Huskies’ final two games of 2021 were both canceled because of the virus, first — against Marquette on Dec. 29 — because of COVID problems in Marquette’s program and then — at DePaul on Dec. 31 — because UConn’s own problems. We discuss those cancelations and what they mean for the rest of the season on this week’s episode. We also mention Mir McLean’s new home and come up with some new year’s resolutions for the team.
