How good was Sarah Strong in the Nationalchampionship game?

[CL82]

Pretty darn good:

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Way better than good enough.

 

[leepaul]

The "Natural"---- Mom and Dad sneaked into a gym and conceived her at center court in the jump ball circle.

 

[jcoton56]

Theoretically this the worst we’ll ever see her. Freshmen are supposed to improve no?

 

[JonathanXIV]

So, are we thinking she's going to be any good?

 

[CL82]

Hundred percent agree. I've been saying that all season long.

Edwards did not her sophomore season. Just saying.

The "Natural"---- Mom and Dad sneaked into a gym and conceived her at center court in the jump ball circle.

I read a report that her mother actually played after she became pregnant. Will this start a new trend?

 

[todbo]

My favorite moment used to be her passing while on her backside, but now I think it's her accelerating suddenly for an easy layup while her defender is caught flatfooted.

 

[uh-no]

yeah if she works at it, she could be a national champion one day!

But, if you're going to be that guy, at least be correct. Aaliyah averaged 7.9 points per game for freshman year in nearly doubled that in her sophomore year averaging 16.6 points.

That was sophomore to junior year. Her second year was a bit of a struggle.

Ugh, you are right! Thanks for correcting me!

The point is she had doubled that by the time she graduated. Nothing is guaranteed, but it is fair to assume that Sarah will continue to get better over the course of her career.

 

[Dove]

Pretty darn good:

And this folks, is how you get 26 LIKES in 14.5 hours.

Very

 

[AmeriConn]

Best player in women’s college basketball! More to follow.

 

[PAHuskeyFan]

I believe she played WAY above her years...She gave arguably one of the best performances by a Freshman in the Biggest Game of the Year EVER. I know some will argue that Stewie may have had a better Championship Game...that's why I said "one of the best performances by a freshman.."

 

[SVCBeercats]

Pretty darn good:

So good she, not Azzi, was the MOP! Look at their stats.

 

[Samoo]

She caused that despondent look from Staley barely into the second quarter.

Yup. Dawn saw there was no one on her team who could stop Sarah. It must have felt like watching the beginning of an avalanche.

 

[bantamlaker]

So good that I don’t bother worrying about next season !

I'm excited about next season, but Paige left huge shoes to fill. We've got a tremendous amount of talent, but it wouldn't surprise me if it took a little bit to establish our new equilibrium.

No. She played on a team this year with other superstars and she was somewhat the third option as teams prepared for UConn. Next year she will be the ONE that teams prepare for so unless she has sufficient help around her her stats could suffer even if she is a better player. To me she is very good but what separateds her from the others is she doesn't shy away from the big moments.

I not accurate to say she was the third option on the team this year
