Relentless, indeed. It is the "play hard" part of "Play hard, play smart, and have fun."
Case in point re: "relentless" -- do you recall that play where SU got a steal and started running the break, and Tiff went at a
full-out sprint to catch up to the girl and steal it from behind, just as they were about at the top of the key? That was my favorite "Tiff play" of the night. Just a freak-out, 110% effort play. And we were up 30 at the time probably.
The funny, and endearing, thing about the way Tiff did that steal compared to Maya's steal at DePaul is that Tiff is like a whirling dirvish---a blur of elbows and knees--she looks like she's on overdrive and about to explode, ready to accept floor burns at a moment's notice if that's the price that need be paid. Which, for Tiff, it usually is! Maya, on the other hand sprints even a bit faster down the court but with a more contained control, like Secretariat making a bee line to the defender. Then of course, she also *takes* the steal, not only causing it, and then calls time-out. Not that I would change a THING about Tiffany Hayes! Far from it !!
