More from the Courant's John Altavilla:

All she wants is to be consistent and become a leader. Jr. C Tina Charles is looking for that consistency coming into her third season as UConn's main offensive and defensive threat in the post. Her coach says he will keep pushing Charles around until he gets that consistency. He wants her to impact and not just be a part of every game. And if she wants a career in the WNBA, she better start playing much harder and much, MUCH MORE physical.
