Butler shines in win over ODU

[EricLA]

She posted a double double with 21 points and 16 boards. Way to go Nat!!!

GM 66, ODU 53

I am glad Natalie finally has a chance to play a lot.

Natalie worked very hard for years and deserves her time as the leader of GM. She has found her sweet spot in this conference. I am wondering how she compares --- being a sub on a championship team versus being the star on a winning team. Sounds like she is lucky enough to experience both worlds. Hope she carries her team to a Conference Championship.

Question. How does her current conference compare to the Big East when she was at Georgetown in terms of strength?

By the way, I just noticed Natalie must have a thing for Georges.

Looking good, kid! Looking good.

 

[Husky fanatic]

Keep it up Nat

Players like Natalie play for the love of the game. It's obvious, she opted for hard years at Uconn, sitting, hurt, bench then transferred when she saw what her options would be for her final year--she transferred and got the best of all worlds--great education and being a star and lots of PT. Basketball players play for the game. I always believed most pro players would play for nada if they were not part of an NBA team. Look at the Uconn Men's players--play for years in minor league (not the MINOR league) teams just to play---would Natalie do less? \
I'm one who believed Natalie was at a disadvantage at Uconn--I'm pleased she is the STAR.

She's just mean---and plays for the mean green and yellow machine. Where did she learn to be so mean?? How to go Natalie!!
