Message: [QUOTE="Wally East, post: 2091667, member: 3065"] I did :) I saw a bunch of home games her junior year, my freshman year, and all of the home games plus the three road tournament games her senior year. I was in the band for the team, which was the first time the team had a band :) Anyway, at the time, we thought of her as the team's version of Larry Bird. There were long stretches, especially in tight tournament games where it was her, Orly Grossman (an Israeli who played at UConn for one season), Wendy Davis, Meghan, and Kerry Bascom -- Debbie Baer, the team's point guard was a pass first, second, and third type of point guard, so it made it easy to double off of her and onto Kerry. So, he'd sit Debbie and let Laura run the point, which she did really well. Today, someone would've made her a point guard, either by the time she got to college or in college. It doesn't make any real difference one way or the other except that it's nice to have the contributions of players from that first Final Four remembered :) [/QUOTE]
