Breanna Stewart.

Stewie being Stewie. The incomparable one.

P.S. Game comment: "We had 'em all the way!"

 

[BigBird]

You meant "Stew-wow!" Right?

 

[HuskyNan]

Gotta give Morgan co-Badass. The Huskies couldn't guard the post with Morgan sitting.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Yeah Morgan had a huge game! I think since we're allowed 3 per game it should be our 3 seniors. No question about it tonight.

Morgan may have locked up enough 1st team AA votes to get her name on the wall of Honor tonight. If not 1st place then Definitely 2nd team which would also get her name on there.

Great game by Tuck, Stewie and Mo.

 

[Kaizen]

Yes, Tuck should share this award because not only she is health but also great performance.

 

[TheGOAT23]

Stewie, Morgan and Mo.

 

[chrissaran]

I agree, TheGOAT23. All three. Kia also played a strong 39 minutes. She'll be the team leader next year if Morgan leaves. Thankfully we'll have someone to fill that role.

How anyone can not see Morgan as one of the top 10 if not top 5 players in the country boggles my mind. She is so good it is just ridiculous sometimes watching her work down low against players that have a height advantage. We heard coming in all about the South Carolina height, and Morgan did a great job neutralizing it I thought.

 

[Kaizen]

Although KLS has only 2 pts but I think her defense is solid good...

 

[ctfjr]

"The Beast Underneath" did great tonight. All that Stewie did was great but without Morgan it would have been a really tough game.

 

[Baroloboy]

How about Geno. Sitting Morgan for two weeks to make sure she was ready to dominate tonight was brillant!

I had the same thought while watching tonight's game. I had been worried that missing some games might hurt her AA chances in some people's eyes, but she was dynamite tonight and you have to figure that most of the voters were watching. I'm encouraged by the fact that the 10-member WBCA AA first team has had 3 Huskies on it each of the last two seasons, so there's little reason why they shouldn't be willing to do that again this year. I'm pulling hard for this because Morgan has earned her place on that wall. Hope like hell she gets it.

I think there should at least be a shout out to Amanda Kimball. Her strength and conditioning regimen allowed the team to play at a high level. Players logging 40, 40, 39,33, 22,22 minutes. Outstanding prep work AK.

Very nice to see Breanna's Mom and Dad on the court with hug/hug after Stewie was interviewed post game.
I hope they are saving up for a trip to Rio this summer!

 

[Bigpetunia]

At 25-12 in the 2nd quarter, the game was already over! Stewie was magnificent in every way, especially in contributing to the 25. But Morgan, who made her own contribution to that number, had even more to do with SC's 12. She had Coates completely demoralized and the game still had twenty-six minutes to go...a true badass, Kib!

 

[Hongster]

Morgan's defense last night was the best I've seen, we're doomed!!!!!!!

 

[MJL243]

At halftime of the Maryland - Ohio State game, Kara Lawson said that Morgan Tuck is the third best player in the country. The only two better are Stewie and Mo.

 

[HGN]

STEWIE...............Hands down. With a royal Salute to Tuck for guts and play. And a Shout Out to Mo for her disruptive defense.

After watching her go to work last night, who could argue that? Plus she saved KLS from getting T'd up on that last foul.

Dang! Morgan is a beast and my favorite player on this team because of her old skool game (inside, outside), but third best player in the country on a gimpy knee?? That's RESPECT!!! Imagine if she was healthy...... those 3's would have dropped last night. No one has more post moves than Morgan in WCBB. I'm surprised that she didn't go into her bag and used the reverse layup during the game. Also, her defense on Coates was vital. Coates is nearly unstoppable when she gets touches close to the basket.

"Stew Art" sounds good, too.

And a shout out to the unbelievable Gabby, little noticed, very effective, great future.

CoCo , I hadn't thought about that until you brought it up.........But Morgan did show well against SC in a highly anticipated Nationally televised game. One has to wonder how the AA voters can exclude Tuck when she just went head-to-head with Mitchell , Wilson , and Coates and came out on top. Game wise and statistically. She proved her worthiness of 1st Team AA consideration. South Carolina was 22-0 and the front-line was arguably the best in WCBB. And the front-line of UConn took them apart. With Tuck playing superior defense and putting up points.

Tuck may not get the press of all the others but she showed she deserves the votes.
