Message: [QUOTE="Littlemin, post: 4459551, member: 10363"] Just a comment on DeBerry and thought this was the most appropriate place to put it. And no, I am not suggesting she get any “award”; singling out individual players for awards in a team game is just not my cup of tea but that is nothing but a personal opinion, obviously the OVERWHELMING majority of sport people disagree with me. Anyway, I pretty much know nothing about DeBerry except what I have seen at Uconn; until last night obviously all mop up time minutes. But put into the game early last night and playing major minutes throughout, I was impressed with the way she played, especially the way she carried herself on the court. No stats to speak of but she played a nice floor game and had no hesitation hitting the floor on several occasions fighting for loose balls. Those are the kind of things that can get you “started” if you will; sitting and watching and then being asked to go out and help your team win is a very, very tough situation to be in. Not at all sure if it says anything that she got in before Patterson and played almost 4 times the minutes but Bobby Knight used to always say you have to watch what players do when they don’t have the ball to judge their true value and I thought she played very well under those tough circumstances. Major KUDOs to her IMO. [/QUOTE]
