Don't forget Napheesa

[eebmg]

Her impact on the game was immeasurable. And she gets her special game in St Louis including her HS retiring her number.

 

[Soxx]

She is always so steadily and almost quietly productive. Love her game.

ONO off the bench was really needed and she played well. Proud of UConn and their ability to keep the offense moving today.

One of the announcers today talked about how every time the crowd started to get into the game, Napheesa would get a bucket and silence them.

Now we understand Naphessa's brillance. She purposely got her 4th foul to give ONO some important playing time.

Yet Napheesa still got 15 rebounds. I guess she’s still pretty selfish about her rpg

Kept CW's rebound numbers down.

Again, Naphessa falls further into the background of the BY.

Thanks to Nan's link of a St Louis eight up, we should be following Naphessa's story more. Some great quotes by her and her dad abount why she is the way she is.

Question. Any idea if her highschool number retirement ceremony will be streamed?

Why is there a need every game to say "Don't forget naphessa"? What about what Katie Lou brought to the game... and what Dangerfield brought, and Walker, Williams, ONO......????????

 

[Millenial23]

Wow, we only had 7 turnovers the whole game?!?! That's a great number! I like it!

My point was to try to get the BY to get excited about her HS visit and her home game and I did not create a new thread but simply added to my own as is my right.

Forget? Never.

People have been starting threads for each player in order to give her her due. I'm sure the OP didn't mean to slight Napheesa's teammates in any way.

It does not happen EVERY game. Don't read it if you don't like it.

Because Phee is taken for granted. She is the most consistent UCONN player. The others sparkle but not game in and game out like Phee. Even Geno has said so.

She's the Rock and she never stops.

Like I've written before, Pheesa is close to the perfect player, and she always has been the perfect teammate. Few UConn players I have liked and admired more. She is truly more than the sum of her talents.

She's been my favorite since she arrived. Class personified.

 

[DallasBUFan]

I honestly never really paid much attention to her until this summer. She she looked good with team USA and really impressed. I like her a lot and plays well as an undersized interior player. She is one of my favorites that not in the green or gold.

 

[BigBird]

As I’ve said before, if her playing days wind down, she has a bonafide future in broadcasting. She is extremely skilled as a speaker and is obviously very bright. What a great Husky she is and has been.

 

[Gus Mahler]

I've admired her greatly since she was a junior in HS. And who is a better player in America right now?

 

[Huskee11]

Napheesa is like a skilled surgeon quietly at work in the operating room, with a deft touch, regularly interrupted by Lou, and now CW as well, marching in beating bass drums and banging cymbals. Her game is as quiet as theirs is loud. But no less valuable or important.
