Hard to argue about those selected. The fact there's other players worthy of mentioning is a testament to how many great players wore that UCONN Jersey!
I'd have included Rebecca Lobo because she was not only a great player but she was really the key to UConn's unbelievable success these past 20-plus years. When she came to UConn, everything changed.
Can't argue with your picks here. It will be interesting to see if Paige Bueckers manages to crack this list in four years as she would have to beat out Sue Bird to do it.
IF she stays healthy, Paige definitely can win multiple title and maybe win 4 Wooden Awards which has never been done, but that's alot to put on a young player so it's probably best to just see what the future holds and not hold her to lofty expectations
YUP YIP YEP,.....agree those R some majestic incredibly talented players, but one I can think of,.....Rebecca Lobo, my goodness U can’t possibly leave her OUT 🙏🏻‼️🙏🏻
DT is Goat! But her, stewy, moore is the toughest question in sports as who was better at UCONN. I like arguing but I would not even argue against anyone who thinks one is better then the other...
I completely agree with this list, though if I was adding a bench, my sixth woman would be Rebecca Lobo. You can also make cases for Shae Ralph, Swin Cash, and even Paige Bueckers- we'll see where she is in 3 years.
Other favorites beyond the starting five - a Huskie True Blue Gritty Team: Carla Berube, Jen Rizzoti, Sveta, Bam Bam, SHEA, SWIN, Barbara Turner, Kaili McClaren, Sweet Caroline Doty, KML, Big Mama Steff, Kiah Stokes, Soniya Chong, the trifecta Kia Nurse / Gabby & Lou, and rising gritty star Nika Muhl. Honorable motion to Briana Pulido - the best walk-on with the best ever "walk-off" shot!
Just for fun, let's add any other combination of players from any era and team VS this Husky starting lineup PG: Cynthia Cooper SG: Sheryl Swoops SF: Candace Parker PF: Lisa Leslie C: Britney Griner
No debating the selected 5 on this team. However, with all National Championship Teams there's still some worthy of mentioning. Nykesha Sales, Swin Cash, Svetlana Abrosimova, Shea Ralph, Katie Lou, Napheesa, Kia, Gabby, Lobo (who got the championship started), my personal unsung hero was Stokes!
There are many Honorable Mentions...and only one questionable starting Five. Although I love Tina Charles it took Geno benching her at various times during her first two years before she finally woke up and realized her potential. For that Reason I'm going with Kara Wolters as my starting Center. My bench would consist of: Charles, Swin Cash, Sales, Lobo, Rizzotti, Collier, Jefferson, Ann, Renee.
People still sleep on Stephanie Dolson's contribution to UConn, particularly in tandem with Stewart. Dolson's ability to pass was for a big, incredible. I can't think of a big who passed better than her at UConn. Certainly, she deserves a mention, it did take her several seasons to live up to her full potential, perhaps that's why she is easily overlooked.

Lobo was the first big star at Uconn but that doesn't mean she is on the all time starting 5. This girl actually got this right
This may be one of the hardest debates ever. Not to mention how many honorable mention that you may have
PG- Sue Bird
SG- Diana Taurasi
SF- Maya Moore
PF- Breanna Stewart
C- Tina Charles
Man Maya was so fun to watch at U Conn
My favorite college b- baller ever.
This list needs Rebecca Lobo, SHE IS LITERALLY THE UCONN HUSKIES
we don’t get the dominance and the legacy without her.

@@robertpalatsky5017 dang she's hurt again
Rebecca Lobo would be my very first pick. Tina, wonderful player, is an honorable mention
Dude I think you nailed the starting five. The only reason I had forgotten about Tina Charles was Maya Moore. Charles was HARD.
I’m with you on your selection.

If you ever saw Maya play live…. Unreal. Absolutely unreal.
I’ll agree wit this top 5 for UConn💯💯
for me it was and still is the entire starting lineup from the 2001-2002 season.
Agreed, overall the greatest team UConn ever put on the floor at once. However, this video is not addressing that perspective.

I love Nika Muhl, but if she's on your list, then How did you forget Paige?
@@Ball_Black I thought the list started with her, so I was expanding to other GREATS!
@@retiredarchitect3462 understood. In that case, great list. 💯💯💯
No other team will ever reach and maintain Uconns level of dominance. The parody is too solid nowadays. Great list.
Nice job…well done !
Your lineup actuallly took the floor to start the game at Bridgeport arena. It was atune up game for team USA b4 the 2016 Olympics.
This starting five would beat any other starting 5 even if you could choose any player from any other team combined
Just for fun, let's add any other combination of players from any era and team VS this Husky starting lineup
PG: Cynthia Cooper
SG: Sheryl Swoops
SF: Candace Parker

It would be interesting if there was a way for this All-Time team to play the Current UCONN Huskies Team [ all injured players available for this].
It's easy: PG Sue Bird, SG Diana Taurasi, SF Maya Moore, PF Stewie, C Rebecca Lobo, sixth woman Shea Ralph!!
Maya Moore was my girl. The only 3 time Wade trophy winner in history 🏆🏆🏆
Honorable mention to Swim Cash!
Rebecca Lobo has left chat
How can You leave out Rebecca Lobo?
This video is now lame. Add BB* to the title. (before Bueckers). She is already UConn's GOAT, even without a title.
The real question is if UConn’s best starting 5 could beat USCs best starting 5 (Cooper, Cheryl, juju) would be a close one!
4 years from now you can take Sue off and put Paige on!
Breanna Stewart is the best uconn player in my eyes she won 4 straight
Diana T. won three championships with arguably less talent as the starting five
Srry maya is da best
Paige buckets will top all them
Pshhht not maya
Hello
No Rebecca lobo whaaaatttt

DT is the GOAT! Can't argue with a single choice of yours... for now. But in four years what will we all think about Paige?
Svetlana Abravamoso
Throw out to some grinders - Stefanie Dolson and Meghan Pattyson
This is an unfair roster. Lol.
Take off Stewart and put her on Second Five. Put Tina C at PF and Lobo at Center.
So take off a player directly responsible for winning 4 consecutive NC’s and replace with a player who won one. OK, got it.
I'm surprised that with all the hype she gets, being called a "generational talent", Azzi Fudd isn't already here.
To be honest i think maya moore better than all of them
Put in Lobo and take off Stewart
