“I hate to lose,” says @therealdanger32 Crystal Dangerfield. "“I hate, hate, hate to lose." #UConnwomen

There's more: "I know they [UConn] like winning. Well, I hate to lose even more than I love winning.” @therealdanger32 #UCOnnwomen

Not only does @therealdanger32 play PG, she plays the drums, xylophone and some piano. #UConnwomen #multitaskers

Didn't we have another decent player a few years ago that played the drums?

 

[rvwsleep]

She's on a mission and she's going to get the band back together.

She's on a mission and she's going to get the band back together.

I can see it now. Playing the national Anthem on the xylophone at the National Championship Game. Sweet!

Maya Moore played the drums.

Maya Moore played the drums.

She also sang the national anthem.

Diana hates to lose more than she likes to win too.

 

[UConnChapette]

So Crystal has some Maya in her and some Diana as well. Should we call her Diamayite?

 

[huskeynut]

She's on a mission and she's going to get the band back together.

So give the girl the baton and let her conduct the symphony on the court.

John A's article in the Courant a couple of days ago quoted Crystal Dangerfield as saying (approximately) that she was a Tennessee fan when they had Candace Parker, but became a UConn fan when she watched Maya and Tina play.

I found it surprising that she mentioned Maya and Tina, but not Renee Montgomery, who played the position that she is likely to play. I'm not sure what conclusion to draw from her admiration of how UConn played and won with Maya and Tina, other than that the basketball was standard-setting. Or maybe she just likes to play for winners, and sees UConn (at this moment in history) as being that.

timing is everything... kids gravitate to the next hottest thing.

and we wonder why kids like certain music or athletes but dont have a clue about the Beatles or Magic Johnson.
