She needs 45 more assists to tie Maya Moore, the three-time Wade Trophy winner, for tenth place. With more than 600 assists, she will rank seventh all-time assuming she stays healthy, keeps up her current pace of five assists per game, and UConn advances to the Big East Tournament championship and NCAA Sweet 16. With the exception of No. 1 Moriah Jefferson (659 assists), who played with eight, every player in the Top 10 had at least two first-team All-American teammates. So far, Mühl has performed with one (Bueckers).
The chances are in Mühl’s advantage because she has multiple assists in the last 50 games that she has played.However, for the senior guard from Zagreb, Croatia, not much has gone as planned.
the first twelve shots she attempted while playing for the Huskies, prior to hitting a 3-pointer against Butler in the sixth game of her rookie campaign. She was in coach Geno Auriemma’s dog house her freshman year at Tennessee and missed 10 games in three seasons as a result of several injuries.
As her 84th career start, she has also endured going into Wednesday’s game. Since the award’s inception in 1998, she is one of five players to have won Big East Defensive Player of the Year twice. She might become the third winner, after Ruth Riley of Notre Dame and Essence Carson of Rutgers. She became a junior by shattering Bird’s single-season school record and breaking Bueckers’ single-game assist record at UConn.
