Obviously, this team needs to work on its conditioning.

Sorry to be picky, because I love your stats and enthusiasm, but if an opponent shoots, hits the rim, misses, gets an offensive rebound, and then the ball is stolen, it counts as one of the steals, but that's a possession in which the opponent did get the ball on the rim. Mutatis mutandes on blocks.

I got lost in that Latin....my motto was "Nihil en moderato".... Could your example actually be two possessions, one that hit the rim (missed shot) and one that failed to get to the rim (steal)?....at this point I'm confused...lol

If the shots clock resets, it's a new possession. So that possession did not get to the rim.

As a typical UConn fan, I can only echo Geno and say "I'm sorry but being good is not good enough." Kiah, Stewie, and Stef has each got to dig down deep and just say, "I'm not going to let the other team beat me."

So my take away is that Bria is obviously second rate in just about everything she does!

Or that she is very good at everything she does, just not quite as good at steals as MoJeff, scoring as Stewie, etc..... She is providing some awesome Senior Leadership....tied for 1st w/ Stef...lol

Why is it that BRATS are never mentioned in your stats. And they rhyme

Because they make him hungry and then he ends up going to the kitchen and cooking up something.
