Asia Durr = class act

[HuskyNan]

She and Geno shared a nice hug and he gave her a kiss on the cheek. You could clearly see her say “go get it all”. What class in defeat.

Good luck in the pros, Asia. I’m now one of your fans.

 

[ProSkeptic]

Amen to that! Ms. Durr is composed and sportsmanlike. Go get ‘em in the WNBA!

 

[Plebe]

If Doris Burke were still working women's basketball, she would comment on how extraordinarily well Asia Durr has comported herself.

Asia is a fantastic player and, even more importantly, has demonstrated high character.

How a person handles defeat always shows their true character

True. Also how they handle victory.

 

[hipressure]

I can't wait to see Durr at the next level!

 

[pghhuskydoc]

Love her game. She’ll be a star in the W. Classy, classy young woman.

 

[dtbtbtb]

The WNBA team that gets Asia Durr is an extremely lucky team! she will be an All Star!

 

[BRS24]

It's telling on how Geno approaches players that he's recruited when UConn beats their team. Nothing but respect on both sides. Hopefully it makes folks realize that it's just a game, and these are still "kids".

Unless it is against Lou or Pheesa.

Durr is a class act and very talented player who will have a fantastic pro career. The entire Louisville team is a class act. Yes, they play hard and can play physical when they need to. They play up until the final whistle. Never count them out. Credit Jeff.

If you ask me, I think its a better rivalry with Louisville than ND.

 

[CL82]

Like the love the whole staff showed Asia. Clearly they have a lot of respect for her.

 

[UConnCat]

Geno spoke to the crowd before the trophy presentation and paid tribute to Louisville and Durr specifically. Said what a pleasure she has been to watch.

 

[Newfie]

Hopefully that will be posted somewhere. I can go watch tape of the game now. I was so nervous I went on a 50 minute walk/run to de-stress myself. Couldn’t handle watching it.

 

[Blueballer]

That was nice to see. Losing gracefully is a sign of good character. She played hard and did her team proud!

 

[Bigboote]

I believe Asia hugged most, if not all the UConn players in the postgame line. That really floats my boat, and, as with Nan, I’m now a fan, never having been before.

 

[Waquoit]

I'd be surprised if she is not a perennial All-Star. I think her game will get even better playing with better players.

 

[DaddyChoc]

Durr has always been cool... never gave UConn fans a reason to dislike her! I always was a fan

 

[UconnMark]

Ol' "what's her name" is a great player and even better person.

 

[WrenchFan69]

She had an incredible college career. Multiple time ACC PoY, Final Four appearance, $50k for attending Louisville. Happy for her

They would need to win at least 2 of 20 before I would agree.

 

[WBB_FAN_WA]

Durr has my respect. A true warrior and honest player, earned every points without much antics. What a good skilled player, she'd do well at the pro level.

 

[JellyBean]

Agree. Asia Durr is a class act, great basketball player, a gladiator/warrior, and going to be an excellent player at the next level.
