Sarah Strong could end up being best ever in college basketball
There is barely anything that Sarah Strong couldn’t do on the basketball court. The daughter of a former WNBA All-Star player, Allison Feaster, Strong has been a dominant name in college basketball since her freshman year.
Despite being on a stacked UConn roster last season with Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers, Strong created her own identity by standing out on both ends. In 40 games, she averaged 16.4 points and shot 58.6% from the 3-point line. She also averaged 8.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.7 blocks per game.
In last year’s national championship game, Sarah Strong showed why she could be the biggest threat to any team’s championship hope. She had 20 points, 15 boards and five assists as the Huskies defeated the Gamecocks for the national title.
This season, Strong has been even more lethal and better on both ends, leading UConn in multiple categories. In six games in the sophomore year, the Huskies’ forward has averaged 18.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 3.0 steals and 2.7 blocks per game. She leads her team in rebounds, assists, steals and blocks.
In college basketball, there is no better name than Sarah Strong to represent Jordan Brand.
