Anna and the pass seen ‘round the world.

[Dokey]

I accidentally posted this to men’s list. But you know the pass. Meg Como said Anna sees what happens before it happens. The words “perfect pass” and Anna are becoming commonplace. She’d have more assists if recipients finished plays but even when they don’t they frequently end in scores as when her fabulous roomie, Aubrey, took offensive rebounds to score. Can we now start seeing her in the linage of great UConn passers. Oh, and I suppose the eight threes were okay too.

Imagine how many more assists and points Anna would have IF they "passed" to her.

I said it back in the fall and I repeat. I’ve never seen a UConn freshman with this level of vision and panache in her passing.

Pretty sure Diana would disagree with this.

Not as a freshman, based on what I recall. Again I’m taking about passing not scoring.

If Anna heard you guys were mentioning her in the same breath as DT, we’d have to peel her off the ceiling at Gammel (sp?).

 

[Shorty Dee]

That was a beautiful pass!!

Will it make Sports Center Top 10?
It really should.......
Bravo, Anna Mak!

If it isnt Top 10 on SC, there will be no "Moore" tours of ESPN

It’s already lighting up Instagram.

That pass should but it might be shared with that 80' ECU shot.

Wait until next year.

The 80 foot shot is great spectacle, but as much luck as skill. That pass was pure basketball mastery. And she did it while still in the air from the catch! Watch the clip and see the ref and Geno on the sideline in utter disbelief. Can you even imagine her and Paige on the floor together? Wow, just WOW.

Agreed but the question was showing on SC and we know they don't do discernment

The Anna Pass - very Magic-like.

Ania's passes have a distinctive look to them, compared to others who I'd consider good passers over the years on this team. It seems that she'll float a pass more often than the others, but the float passes rarely get intercepted, because she has a knack for putting the ball on the right trajectory to make sure it doesn't get deflected.

In other words, even her "lazy" passes have surprisingly high intent and focus.

Spectacular!!!!!!!! #1 for the highlight reel.

It was only 55’. Let’s not get carried away.

Anna is BLOOMING....I keep saying it....PASS THE BALL TO HER!!!! She is unselfish & could be the BEST talent on the squad....watch Anna bloom.

Christyn looked as if she knew the pass was coming.

Great scorers always expect the ball to be coming their way.

Do I get a penalty flag if I say that I'm almost as excited by the made open layup as by the spectacular pass?

If I had $5:00 for every layup I have seen missed by D1 players this season, I would have enough money to fly to Storrs and watch a UConn game in person. Now that would be great!

All that Anna had to do to ensure that Christyn was expecting the ball was to yell "Squeaks!" (or something equivalently terse) as she was gathering in the court length pass.

I have read that it is a UConn team requirement that the sender of every pass must holler the name of the intended recipient as the pass is made, in practice and in games. Makes sense; it probably cuts down on turnovers, and is useless to the opponent, who would have no time to react.
