This season Williams averaged 6.7 points and 4.4 rebounds per game and made 58.8% of her shots to help the Huskies reach the Final Four. She posted a season-high 14 points on 7-for-8 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds against Georgetown in the opening round of the Big East tournament.
At Wisconsin, she averaged 16.4 points and 8.5 rebounds per game in 91 contests for UW. She was a all-Big Ten first team selection as a sophomore and junior and the conference's defensive player of the year as a sophomore.
The UConn experience, however, allowed Williams to show her athleticism, versatility and ability to defend on a bigger stage.
