WSU has given her plenty to grab. They've missed 51 (and counting) shots.
Osahor had 24 defensive rebounds, which means she alone rebounded 45% of WSU's missed shots. That's a huge percentage.
Quite a performance, but it helps when you play 35 minutes in an 87-44 blowout, and your opponents miss 53 shots.Midway through the 4th quarter, Chantel Osahor of Washington has 20 points and 30 (THIRTY) rebounds.
This has gotta be some kind of record.

She had 30 rebounds, but....
There is no "but." WOW! That's like saying "UCONN has won 90+ straight games, but...."
It's not just unseemly; it's very embarrassing as a Uconn fan. There's a difference between being proud of your team and being downright arrogant and incapable of giving credit where credit is due. This athlete goes out there and works her ass off every game. It's not as if she hasn't shown her rebounding prowess all season; she's a very skilled rebounder. So why try to diminish her MASSIVE accomplishment just because she's not on Geno's team? So what if the other team is shooting a low percentage? The only way one gets a rebound is when the ball doesn't go in the basket. The thing about Osahor is that she wants to be the ONLY one to get those rebounds. That's talent and dedication that only a hand full of Uconn Huskies have ever exhibited.Thank you for this. It's unseemly how some people feel compelled to undercut anything and everything achieved by anyone and everyone not affiliated with UConn.
Great performance, but you need help from the opponent to get that many rebounds.
On a side note on Layshia Clarendon. She is still the best player i have seen in So Cal HS basketball. I didnt see DT. Layshia single handly won her team, the Cajon Cowboys/cowgirls, 2 sectional championships. She isnt my favorite player, just the best i have seen. She had a very good career at Cal too.View attachment 18937
On edit: OMG, while checking the integrity of the link I noticed the names on the screen and had not recognized Layshia. I looked at the clip while it was playing trying to figure out who that was. I figured it must be some PAC12 color analyst. Without the blonde mohawk I had no clue. She looks GREAT.
I didn't perceive any comments that diminished the accomplishment. Explaining the facts that enabled her to collect those rebounds just fleshes out how the feat was made possible. Those posters did acknowledge the incredible feat.It's not just unseemly; it's very embarrassing as a Uconn fan.

And some of you on this board still wonder why fans from other teams have such a deep disdain for Uconn fans...
That is an awful wide brush that you used to paint UCONN fans with. Deep distain is probably from multiple ass thumping not from what (ONE) UCONN fan thinks about Chantel's game.It's not just unseemly; it's very embarrassing as a Uconn fan.

Chantel's has received many complements here and at least one poster (ME) put her on his AA team. This was a great accomplishment by Chantel. Maybe some UCONN fans are not easily impressed- a very good thing IMO.
I just made up:
Phil's Law of Online Massage boards: If 99 contributors at the Boneyard say they like a player, and one says they do not, others will declare flatly that "The Boneyard hates the player".
