Fuller: Bria achieves a career first double-double

[pap49cba]

"I was pretty excited when I saw it," Hartley said. "I've always said I wanted to get a double-double, I have come close a couple of times but I am not a rebounder so it is tough. Assists, you have to count on people making shots. It is really exciting."

Geez, I completely missed the fact she had a double double.

Right now, Bria is playing as well as any combo guard in wcbb. Possible exception: Kayla McBride. And, of course, Odyssey.

The WNBA draft could be interesting.

Maybe biased, but I think I take Bria over the other two if I am drafting - close choice between her and Kayla. I think Sims is phenomenal, just not sure how well her game will adapt to the pros.

According to John A, Bria is 16 rebounds and 8 assists shy of joining Maya and Diana as the only UConn players with 1,500 points, 500 rebounds and 500 assists.

great- a couple of no-names with whom to be grouped statistically.

I'm actually really hoping she'll drop to Phoenix. Because I want her on Phoenix. So people can continue underrating her.

I don't know that Bria is the traditional Uconn Player, which is why I think she gets overlooked..but that little statistic highlights how good of a career Bria really has had.

It's funny how Maya's name keeps popping up on those lists, no matter which one it is

Never trusted anything Bria said. Obviously she is a rebounder.

Amazing when you think of all the great players UConn has had. Rizzotti came up a bit short on rebounds and Ralph and Strother were a little short on assists, while huskybill was short on everything. Sveta would have made the 1500-500-500 club if she hadn't gotten injured as she was 27 assists short, which she would have gotten in 15 more games. Kara needed just 370 assists to get to 500 to complete her triple.

Not quite everything; Bill is long on wit.

With MoJet also getting double digits in assists we had a different kind of double double as well. Was that a first for UConn?

Yes = furst game with two players in double figures on assists.

Cool! Hadn't seen confirmation on that.

I understand that Maya is now showing up on Chinese lists too.

Her box score is like a Chinese menu:

40 from column A

12 from column B

8 from column C

and a few nagging injuries

Nor had I. I thought it was possible it might have happened in the days of Sue and DT in the backcourt. Congrats to Bria and Bonn_Bonn on their landmark!
