Jeff Jacobs : Phee Is UConn's Stable Pony

Jeff Jacobs: Steady Napheesa Collier a calming force for UConn

She calms everyone in the building including opposing teams.

"She calms seas. She stills the blustery wind. She isn’t the biggest talker in the world and maybe that’s fitting, because nobody can quiet the loud, ugly turns of a game like Collier. "

Then there is the whole "no pulse" issue.

"But, mostly, they won because of Collier and the sort of ultra-efficient stat line that makes you wonder if she even has a pulse.

“No, I don’t think she does,” coach Geno Auriemma said."

Thanks to all for not going off on "stable pony" - so I guess people got the play on words or decided to just tune out. She's so stable and calm she does what the man said. But she isn't someone put in the thoroughbred's stall. She's a magnificent thoroughbred with a warm bloods head. The thoroughbred is rearing and pounding the door to it's stall or attacking ....

She's a singularity really. Ever been a tie for NPOY - a 3 way tie?

It isn’t mentioned often, but Pheesa moves about and plays in the most graceful ways. It is almost balletic at times. She is a marvelous athlete who is a joy to watch.

In the dictionary, the second definition of beatific is : "having a blissful appearance; a beatific smile". To me that's always described Pheesa - don't know how she does it, but everything about her is so damn calming. She puts the Mona Lisa to shame!

She is the Gale Sayers of WBB
