Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 2660873, member: 7548"] As usual, Carl Ademac beat's his competition with the best stories. His reporting on Gabby as MOP (Most Outstanding Player) of the regional is fantastic on many levels including the use of the BY name change.:D [URL="https://www.sny.tv/uconn/news/huskies-reach-final-four-destination-but-journey-not-complete/269846972"]Huskies reach Final Four destination but journey not complete[/URL] [B]SIMPLY 'GABULOUS'[/B] [COLOR=#0080ff]Williams has been a leader on the Huskies in their tradition of messing up the hair of a postseason tournament MOP award winner. The tables were turned on her Monday night after she was honored but, as usual, Williams was prepared. "There's a lot of gel in there, so they couldn't move it," Williams said with a laugh. "They tried."[/COLOR] During the game, South Carolina tried to contain Williams and the Gamecocks, too, had no success. [COLOR=#0080ff] "She was amazing, as usual," Stevens said. "She had so much energy offensively, so much energy defensively. She really stepped up, but that's no surprise. That's what Gabby does."[/COLOR] It was the fifth straight postseason event that Williams has been named to the all-tournament team. A year ago she was recognized by the American Athletic Conference championship event and at the Bridgeport Regional and Final Four. She made the AAC all-tournament team earlier this month, In four NCAA Tournament games, Williams has averaged 18.3 points on 73.9 percent shooting from the floor (34 for 46), 6.7 rebounds, and 5.8 assists. She is within three rebounds of 1,000 for her career and becoming the seventh member of UConn's 1,000/1,000 club. [COLOR=#ff4d4d]"I felt good today, felt bouncy,"[/COLOR] Williams said with a smile. "I don't know if it's different than any other day. We were playing great team ball so I was able to get a lot of good movement. "I want my teammates to know they can count on me. I don't know if that's reflected through a Most Outstanding Player award but rather by my teammates trust in me and through our ability to get things done. I never expected it. I never thought about it. It's not something any of us thinks about. I thought any of our starting five could have gotten that award." [/QUOTE]
