The Huskies have taken control of the WNBA over the years and now, the same story is told in the Unrivaled League. Unrivaled is a three-on-three basketball game, created by former UConn players Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart. The league started in 2023 and continues to improve as viewership has grown over the last couple of years. With that said, between the six teams, seven former Huskies play in Unrivaled. Let’s see how they’re performing.
Napheesa Collier
On the court, Collier proves why she is the leader and captain of the Lunar Owls. The former Husky dropped 20 plus points in nearly every matchup, except for one where she ended with 19 buckets against the Vinyls. In addition, the 28-year-old ranks No. 1 out of 38 other players, as she leads the league with a little more than 29 points a game. Moreover, Collier takes the cake with nearly two steals per contest, per Unrivaled. The two-way player also rebounds 11 and a half balls a match. The forward does all of this within 17 and a half minutes of playing time. However, the champ breaks even with Angel Reese for most personal fouls, as they both average nearly four a game. In more recent news, Unrivaled finished their one-on-one tournament with the Owls captain taking home the trophy. With that said, the founder looks like she will continue to crush her league.
Breanna Stewart
Breanna Stewart sees less time on the court compared to Collier, with nearly 15 minutes per game. However, the captain for the Mist still puts on a dominating performance. The former Husky sits at No. 7 in the rankings as she contributes 18.4 points per matchup, according to Unrivaled. To add on, Stewart comes in third with nearly 11 and a half rebounds in the league. To add on, the 30-year-old nearly tops the league in defensive rebounds, with about 10 and a half snatches. However, Stewie splits the crown with Collier. In addition, the New York native participated in the one-on-one competition but got knocked out in the first round by Aaliyah Edwards.
Aaliyah Edwards
Aaliyah Edwards joined forces with Stewart on the Mist and stands at No. 26 in the rankings, per Unrivaled. The forward only sees a little more than eight minutes of action. Despite that, Edwards has participated in every game so far and knocks in 9.3 points per contest. In addition, the 22-year-old snags four and a half off the rim. However, the former Husky struggles with assisting, stealing and blocking, as she averages under one per matchup in every category. Turning to the one-on-one tournament, Edwards came in as the No. 8 seed and made a run to the finals. However, the Canadian native fell to Collier and took home second place.
Tiffany Hayes
Tiffany Hayes sits in front of Stewart at No. 6 in the rankings, who is the third player in the top 10 to represent the Laces, according to Unrivaled. Within 13 minutes of playing time, the 35-year-old knocks down 18 and a half points per match. However, on the other side of the court, the veteran only averages a little less than six rebounds a game. To add on, the guard fails at swatting away any balls but gets at least one takeaway per contest. Despite the defensive struggles, Hayes’ contribution helped get the Laces to second in the league.
Stefanie Dolson
Stefanie Dolson occupies No. 24 in the rankings, as she struggles to hit double-digit point totals consistently. The center takes the court for nearly 15 minutes but only drops a little less than 10 dimes per clash. Despite her offensive struggles, Dolson assists defensively with a little more than five rebounds per match. In addition, the 33-year-old nearly blocks one ball per game. Dolson is the sixth-best player on the Laces roster and helps in the fights to victory.
Azurá Stevens
Azurá Stevens sits in the middle of the pack at No. 19 in the rankings and is a key factor in the Rose’s three-game winning streak. Stevens averages nearly 10 minutes and puts in a little more than 12 and a half points per clash. Furthermore, amongst the Rose’s roster, the former Husky sits behind Angel Reese in rebounds, per Unrivaled. Reese leads the team with a little more than 10 boards, while Stevens secures nearly seven and a half balls a night. In the tournament, the center came close to punching her ticket to the finals against Aaliyah Edwards but fell to Collier in the semi-finals.
Katie Lou Samuelson
Katie Lou Samuelson ranks the lowest amongst the Huskies at No. 33 for team Phantom, per Unrivaled. Despite participating in every game, Samuelson averages about six and a half points within nine and a half minutes. Moreover, the 27-year-old barely snags two and a half balls from off the glass. Turning to the one-on-one contest, the forward got knocked out in the first round by Collier. With that said, Samuelson continues to fight to make a name for herself.
