Besides leading the team in scoring, rebounds and blocks, Napheesa comes up big in the biggest games. She does so in such a consistent and quiet way that we don't remember them (and the commentators don't talk about them) like we remember and talk about Katie Lou's Maryland heroics or Gabby...

Sorry for the misunderstanding!

I love Kia and she is integral to UConn's success. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Kia didn't make the All-Conference First Team for the American Conference. Now we might think that was an injustice but it is quite a leap to say that a second team all conference player should be a...

Picking All American teams is art not science. It is impossible for the panel selecting the teams to see all the games of the top candidates or even more than a handful of their games. Remember most teams don't have more than one or two games a year on national TV. I'm not sure Kelsey Plum...

Geno's pretty amazing comments on Pheesa: "She is the same everyday. So what you are seeing every game is what she does every day in practice. Nothing ever changes. She is a lot like Maya Moore in that respect.... If you think about it, there may not be another player in the country who can...

I was certainly reporting my daughter's impressions. But just to be clear, my daughter was not an athlete and she was not saying that she, my daughter, worked harder (nor was I implying that). I was not talking about her at all other than to give context to relaying her impressions of the...

My daughter attended Stanford and while she was not an athlete she was a Resident Advisor with several athletes in her dorm (at Stanford athletes are in the same dorms as the rest student body for their freshmen year). My daughter marveled at the work and diligence of the athletes many of whom...

Except that if you go to neutral sights you have teams playing in empty stadiums. When you get past the top 10 teams in attendance most of WCBB teams play to virtually empty stadiums on their home court and have few fans that travel to neutral sites. Syracuse averaged less than 1,500 for their...

1. KLS has improved this year. She is not the same high school girl her big sister dominated. If KLS is taken out of the game by her sister (a good but not great college player) then she doesn't have the mental toughness I think she has ... and we should stop hawking her as an All-American...

I don't think the narrator even mentioned Napheesa's name. I get that perhaps she is not the most loquacious player so there are not many clips of her being interviewed but come on. They went through the entire regular season. How could the team's best player not even be mentioned? The player...

I think we are in an interesting moment as a nation. We are in a moment where sharp divisions are being drawn. Sensitivities are raw. There are many who feel they should speak out to share their concern and defend those who are marginalized. The recent comments of Wiggins and Mulkey seem to...

We just have to grow as a society and that will take time. The same arguments were made about why we couldn't desegregate lunch counters, bathrooms and other public facilities -- people weren't thrilled to have to explain ... or come into contact with .... I don't doubt that people feel...

I love Gabby and KLS and understand that the core four help and make each other better. But looking at that chart I just don't understand how anyone could make the case that Collier is not the most deserving of All-American recognition. On the best team, she performs the best against the best...

I think it is totally fair for Geno and others to say that they believe Ms. Wiggins is exaggerating or lying, just as it is fair for people to say they accept her story as true. No one has to accept someone's story just because they say it. Particularly when the story is devoid of specifics...

In light of last night's game I thought I would revive this thread with some updated statistics. Since the original post in mid-January Napheesa has gotten better! In the 11 games since the original post after the SMU game she has stepped her game up even further. Her yearly scoring average...
