Of course Breanna was savy enough to know that if she suggested otherwise she might be joining a whiny Candace Wiggins.  Vic Schaefer got the ball rolling on that one of course, saying UConn could play with any WNBA team.  Kara the Shrewed said it best:

"UConn beat a WNBA team?

"Not going to happen," Lawson said. "I just laughed at it. ... This UConn team has Breanna Stewart. That's why anybody is entertaining the conversation in the slightest, because they have a superstar player."

Lawson says, regardless of what happens in the Final Four, Stewart is the greatest player in women's college basketball history.

"Next year are you going to say UConn can [beat a WNBA team]?" Lawson said. "No. It's because of her presence.[B] She is going to walk into the league and be one of the 10 best players from day one. [/B]She's great. But she doesn't play with other people at that level. I don't want to demean them in the slightest. [The Huskies] have other good players who could eventually go on and have great pro careers."
