The KML "Brush-Off" Three will be....

[hussybulldog]

Yes it should be in the UCONN play Hall Of Fame!

Other candidates (Or obvoius choices)

The famous Jen Rizzotti drive in the 95 NC game.
Sue Bird's shot to beat ND at buzzer in BE Champ game
Taurasi's shot OVER the backboard
Meghan Gardler fixes her hair then drains a 3
Swin shooting at the wrong basket

I'm sure there are many others

Swin's basket shall always be No. 1 shot of all time! I mean how often it happens? Ever?
I would also add Taurasi's buzz beater-half court 3-pointer at half time and then another buzz beater at the second half of the same game to beat Tenn.

KML will forever be missed. Love everything she does on the basketball court. There will never be another like it comes around..........

 

[mhshuskies]

Loved it! Swagger and attitude, like brushing off a pesky fly.

 

[WestTXFan]

To me, it was a down-the-middle, over-the-defense, slam dunk. It transcends women's basketball. You can see it in the, "Oh My" expressions in the crowd. I could just hear Stuart Scott: "Cool as the other side the pillow."

We can't leave out Stewie's full court run-down monster block last year against Rutgers!

As much as I liked the KML play in this game it would be behind that Mo Jeff move where she totally faked her player and drove to the basket uncontested.

Add Geno's shuffling his feet, face guard, and chest bumping of Faris as the ultimate sign of respect after Faris single handedly tore Duke Apart-Offensive and Defensively. 48:41 mark of this video.

Another Classic!

 

[Geno-ista]

Stewie's block where she chased the Rutgers' player 3.4 of the court and denied the breakaway layup.

Classic-right in front of us at Mohegan Sun! That was something!

 

[HuskyNan]

I was thinking of that play as well, but not sure you put in the "wow" category like many of DT's plays. Maya had those cobra like reflexes to knock a ball loose from behind. ESPN back in the day had a Science Behind Maya Moore segment where they calculated how fast her hands were to poke those balls away from the opposing offensive player.

That play plus the time UConn played a game in Bridgeport, want to say it was vs Kansas State, a kid stole the ball and took off alone up the court. Maya ran about 75 feet up the court for a clean block on what looked like an uncontested layup.

I was just thinking of a forever KML memory- Mo Jef certainly had her highlights!

 

[HuskyNan]

There are Gamecock fans who need this explained to them. Do you have that slowmo vid of the play you shared the other day? I can't find it right now.

Link to the post with the slo-mo video

Great compilation. Thanks for posting.

Would be great if someone could assemble videos of these some where.

 

[Geno-ista]

Htfd Ct- Big East Championship vs Rutgers I think! Renee Montgomery has early foul trouble. Freshman? Lorin Dixon plays much of first half and a lot of 2nd half and does a great job! Leaves court to allow Renee back in in 2nd half and flies at Geno and leaps up into his arms! That was fun!!!

 

[Geno-ista]

Geno, this is what I posted in another Thread yesterday.

I was going to start a new thread "Favorite parts of last's night game" For me it was KML so casually shedding Tiffinay Mitchell on her backside looking at Mitchell and draining a 3. Priceless, Iconic! Equal to DT popping the UCONN on her shirt against Tenn.

Sorry- I must have missed that! U hit it perfect! I had a world class male Siberian Husky for 15 yrs. love the copper! Your dog I assume?

 

[ThisJustIn]

Will's dive for the ball against Tennessee. Without that, Annie's behind the back, step back, drive and DT's ridiculous tying three don't happen.

Nan- I was at that game. I was right at the point where Maya was on a full tilt for an offensive break beyond mid court when the ball changed hands and the girl trying to catch Maya intercepts a bad pass and had a head start on Maya that was not even close. We were up by 25-30 on Texas- almost sure it was Gail G at Texas- 2nd game that night. The look on Maya's face when she stopped on a dime and bolted in a direct line for the opposing teams basket. She went high and far thru the air and swatted that ball10 rows or more up into the stands. One of the greatest plays ever! I think she was a freshman- maybe sophomore. She was healthy and an absolute gazelle. One of my all time fav's!

 

[HGN]

Forever etched in my memory! And I would think it would be a staple on future highlight reels forever!!! Am I wrong???

Geno-Ista , nope you not wrong. Especially when it came in the BIGGEST game of the year in wcbb.

 

[Intpseeker]

How about Taurasi's no look backwards touch pass? Or her 3/4 court bomb against Tennessee? I'm trying to think of some plays for Maya...maybe her tip in vs. Baylor in her senior season?

How about the number of times D would drain the 3 right by the opposing coach standing in the coaches box.
Had to be intentional. It happened too many times

Not my dog. Just a picture I grabbed off the internet. Maybe someday I will acquire it.

 

[Fiftyish]

Great compilation. Thanks for posting.

Just to clarify, I was referring to Nan's link of the UConn vs USC game. Good choice of plays and good editing.

 

[JSB60]

Diana's **** *** three against Tennessee belongs on the list.

 

[Icebear]

Also, Ann Strother had a spectacular baseline spin move against Tennessee, her freshman year I believe.

Are you thinking of Ann's double crossover behind the back? It wasn't a spin move but it was even better.

Couldn't agree more....that may be the most athletic play I've ever seen in WCBB....have watched it about 5 times and its freakish in athleticism and basketball IQ

Most guards can't do this. Extremely rare in women's bb and not common in men's bb. Certainly not frequently done as well in men's bb imo. I was surprised that ESPN didn't replay it in their montage of Mo Jeff's great plays.

Wish someone would show that play in this forum. I've saved that game and plan on watching it again but that play will forever be etched in my mind.

Loved KML's play people are discussing. But shrugging off players is far more common, particularly in the men's game. Her 3 point accuracy is another thing. What a marksman she is.

The starting five is as well balanced and skilled a team as I've seen in bb both on offense and on defense.

Moriah's plays were better than many of Sports Center's Top 10.

One of my favorite plays came in the 2010 NC game vs. Stanford. Nneka (or was it Jayne?) went in for a layup. Tina blocked it and controlled it. She whipped an outlet pass to Maya who was closely guarded by Jeanette Pohlen. Maya drove to the basket with Pohlen draped all over her. Then, in an instant, Maya went airborne with her arm extended for her patented scoop shot. The layup was good, the foul was called, and Maya made the free throw. Zero points for Stanford; three points for UConn. It was a great play under pressure by the two best players in the nation.
