Imagine if Kyla had Kelly’s athleticism....

Or Kelly had Kyla’s size....

The wonderful aspect of Kelly Faris was that on a team loaded with stars, she was the consummate roll-player on any given night. Need tough defense? Kelly would provide it. Need extra help on the boards? Kelly was inside crashing the boards with the Bigs. Need some extra scoring? Kelly could step out and knock down a 3 or drive to the basket.

Her nickname, the Swiss-Army Knife, was well deserved over countless games at UConn, doing whatever was necessary to help the Huskies win. As the daughter of a HS coach, Faris was similar to Kyla Irwin, doing all the little things that don’t always show up in the box score, but are critical to the team’s success.

You beat me to it. You pretty much explain what made Kelly so valuable to that team. It isn't just about stats but supplying what a team needs. The teams Kelly played on had plenty of scorers so that is what they needed the least. That makes their offensive productions less relative with respect to what each player provided offensively. To the present Uconn team scoring is more important than any defense or other intangible that she might provide, so comparisons of their offensive capabilities are mote. This is a different team with different priorities with respect to needs.

After careful examination and days and days of exhausting research I have finally discovered the Ncaa's method of decision making. The members gather around a large ornamental table. After a prayer is said by the Chaplin a small box is brought into the chamber by one of the stewards. The senior member then opens the box and takes out a two headed coin. The name of the student who has requested eligiliity to play is then announced. The coin is tossed and, depending on whether it is heads or tails, the decision is made.

Merry Christmas to you also. Someone been sippin on the adult eggnog a little early I see.
This post is so wrong on so many levels! One small example: Diggins never blocked Kelly's shot during that game. It was Bria Hartley's shot that she blocked twice cleanly.

Correction: blocked once, fouled once, and to add insult to injury Bria was called for a foul on a clean block
