Five by Five!!!!

Breanna Stewart obviously dominated both ends of the court tonight. But there's something else the announcers didn't bring up which they probably should have:

She had a 5x5 (5 points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals) tonight, something which few players are capable of and which is, in my mind, more impressive than a triple double. Off the top of my head, I can't remember any other UConn player matching that feat.

I am so excited that we get to see another 30ish games with her in a UConn uniform!

Great catch! Yes, that has to be quite rare.

Your Sue Bird and my Maria Conlon were at the game--waiting their turn to get in, I think.

Must be a new "well rounded player" focus for Stewie to go for, as she's never even had a 4-4-4-4-4 (5x4) be4 tonight, though she has had many 4x4s in various configurations. In any case, maybe a good sign for a 4peat for Stewie and possibly a 5peat for Morgan.

For comparison, that same night, Draymond Green had a 5x5. It was the first the NBA had had in 3 years.
