I was a little surprised at how upset that her mother was at Geno because she went to UConn. Obviously all has been forgiven because it certainly worked out for her. She never would’ve gotten the publicity at UCLA or USC. Sue Bird’s commentary was also excellent. She pointed out something that was obvious to those of us that followed her career closely. She made everyone around her better. The teams that she took to those three national championships weren’t of the caliber of say teams that Tamika Williams, Swin Cash, Breanna Stewart etc. were on. Taurasi I think took the pressure off of everyone else on her team so they could just play. Truly, a special player and special person. [/QUOTE]
