I hope Collier and Samuelson can still be friends!

I would hope that they got together after the game and both had a good chuckle about Pheesa's excellent play.
Pheesa only did what she is being paid to do, as is Lou, but Pheesa did her job better in this instance.

This is sport; it's competitive; it's NOT life or death.

The competitive arena is a no holds barred. Afterwards, "competitive" moments are reminisced fondly and are actually more binding. Shared moments, such as this, compliment both athletes.

It was a perfect moment though. Here we have KLS: in full stride; takes off for the layup; shooting right-handed and protecting with her left arm; elevation is good; ball in right hand, arm fully extended; ... looks like a certain two points. And yet: here comes Collier, stride for stride; elevation is good; left arm at maximum reach; timing is perfect; cleanly rejects the shot.

Teammates in college. Best friends then and now. I think they would have a good laugh about it later.

I have to think that similar things happened hundreds of times on the practice floor at UConn. I hope that Lou won her fair share of those duels.

Ouch. That was one decisive block.

Only $20 and in stock -- Phees out to send her sister one as a reminder.

I am sure these two are still friends.

I am sure these two are still friends.

I remember that one!!! That was an even more brutal and classic "beat down" block than Phee's was on Lou ...!! Plus the commentator was great

Regarding Pheesa's block, note that their former teammate Gabby hustles in to recover the ball.
