""In the next three years, she might be the best player to come out of UConn," Staley said at the Final Four. "And those are strong words. But what she's able to do -- stay calm, the IQ is off the charts, the skill set off the charts. Big play after big play after big play.""
""We put the ball in Sarah Strong's hands," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said, "and we're going to get something really, really good.""
Sarah Strong helped UConn win the 2025 NCAA title and posted 24 points and 15 rebounds in the national championship game against South Carolina. She started all 40 games last season, averaging 16.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.3 steals as a freshman. The 6-foot-2 sophomore is averaging 20.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 3.3 steals through a 4-0 start for No. 1 UConn. Strong produced a 29-point, 13-rebound, 7-assist, 5-steal, 3-block game versus Ohio State. UConn will face Michigan and Utah at the Basketball Hall of Fame Women's Showcase in Uncasville.
