Big Breakaway

We watched the Duquesne game on SNY earlier today.

The moment I will remember is Azura stealing the ball and gracefully running the floor to a layup. I don't remember any of our other bigs ever running so smoothly and effortlessly.

Life's too short to spend all the time it would take to cut a paste clips of the dozens and dozens of swift and graceful sixt foot plus women who have left their mark here. But I will throw this up as a reminder that running is one thing and then there's post play at UConn...

Yes, who could forget the three blocks in one possession? May never be equaled,

Correct I watched it and was kind of shocked to watch it, then again on replay, and again and again. VERY SPECIAL ! She knew how to move

Tina Charles. She runs the court like a gazelle.

No Video of Heather Buck's last basket as a senior?!

I don't want to take anything away from the observation that Z looks great running the floor but yes, we've been blessed. Both Tina Charles and Breanna look great.

Breanna had an interesting stride that made her look like she wasn't moving fast but I have a distinct memory of seeing her running down the floor looking like she's casually charging but then working at the wannabe defender who is running like a sprinter but losing ground.

I don't know that we can't quite call Gabby a "big", but the subject is running the floor, is no more beautiful site than watching her run the length of the floor.

I was joking with a friend that when she retires from basketball she should start an airline call it Gabby Air with the slogan "come fly with me"

By coincidence, we have a lactation specialist visiting my daughter at the moment and she mentioned that she's worked with Heather Buck.

If we can believe published measurements (ha!), Tina and Stewie are 6'4"; Z is 6'6". Just makes Z's agility look more exceptional. Also, Z. is really just learning to play this way. Whether or not "unique," it's really exciting.
