A while back, I started this poll posing the question of which non-UConn alumna do you wish Geno had had. In introducing Sheryl Swoopes as a choice in this poll, I asked (rhetorically), "I mean, come on; have watched the 1993 national championship game?". Well, whether you have watched that game or you haven't, here it is. Some amazing facts:
1. Swoopes basically carried Texas Tech to victory herself, scoring 47 points.
2. She did so essentially evenly by half: 23 in the first, 24 in the second.
3. She picked up two first-half fouls, and did so early. Fortunately for Tech, she was (wisely) left in the game.
4. She came into the NC game having played four of the five previous 1993 tourney games (don't know why she didn't play in one), and had AVERAGED 33 points in those four contests.
Here's the video:
