Respect you as a competitor, but tired of your attitude. Good luck in the WNBA.

That's funny - in Taurasi or Rizzotti we called it swagger

Skylar Diggins made an enormous contribution to WCBB. She was obviously the player we loved to hate-on because she kicked our team's butt on a regular basis and did so with gusto, flair, speed and skill. Now that she's headed for the WNBA and no longer eligible to make us miserable, it is easier to recognize her greatness as a player and congratulate her.

The players are all 18-22 year old, very young women.

Hating-on any of them is an illusion that causes us to temporarily lose sight of the fact that they are all kids, with athletic skills, that we like watching compete.

All the best, Skylar Diggins, and thank you for the memories. Well done.

A great college player. How will that translate in the WNBA? We handcuffed her in every game, but she still managed to be a burr in my saddle. However in those games she was able to drop it off to McBride or someone else for a score. Tonight we not only dictated to her, but we controlled the rest of them. I just wonder about how she will do at the next level? She will probably be a 2 and I am not so sure she has the speed and size to be a factor.

I could not disagree with the original poster more. What I see in Skylar Diggins is a beautiful young woman who is a great competitor and very talented basketball player, with intellect and great on camera speaking skills. She is an incredibly well rounded young woman and one of the most memorable female college basketball players I can recall. Skylar has helped to create some level of parity in the Women's game and will be missed when she moves on to the WNBA. I wish her nothing but the best.
