Message: [QUOTE="Ricker, post: 3829401, member: 1245"] Thanks for posting that clip. That play by Maya in a big spot, and Stewie running down a South Florida breakaway from behind at full speed out of nowhere for a block, are 2 of my favorite 'effort' plays in basketball. Two stars that just have so much pride that they never give up anything, whether the play is in a big spot, or in the course of a game that is already decided. Maya's total presence of mind to call the time out is the antithesis of what we saw vs Arkansas. If you're going to be a 'legend', those are the 'brain' plays that are up to you to be totally in tune with the situation. Maya bouncing on her toes defensively with her head on a swivel playing defense with total awareness on every offensive player. I love to see effort and awareness. Lastly, others may not care, but not losing 2 in a row since 1993 is a mind blower, and an important achievement for me. I really, really, really want this game tomorrow. I hope these kids play with the mindset and commitment that the record will not fall on their watch. With that said, I wonder if they even know it. [/QUOTE]
