Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2443331, member: 5798"] Gabby Williams had a successful homecoming, having one of her best games this season, scoring 18 points. It was a season-high for Williams, who was playing her first game at Nevada's Lawlor Events Center since she led her high school team to a state title in 2012. Her father, Matt, and sister, Kayla, both played basketball at Nevada, joined a host of other family members and friends behind the UConn bench. This was supposed to be Gabby's night. I guess no one told Kia because she tried to steal the spotlight. She was smoking hot tonight. I've seen players in a zone live and on TV. Kia's play tonight had all the earmarks of someone in a zone. Nevada reserve 5' 6" Sophomore Guard Camariah King also tried to steal some of Gabby's thunder as she put on her own display of how to shoot 3 pointers, making 5-6 for 15 points. It almost seemed like she was trying to match Kia basket for basket. This was a much better game than I thought it would be. The Wolfpack played them tough to the buzzer, never giving up or in. Surprisingly Geno kept his starters in for most of the game (2 of them played 36 minutes, 1 logged 35). Nice crowd tonight to support Gabby and the home team. The TV announcers said that there were over seven thousand fans in attendance tonight. The largest crowd to see a women's basketball game ever in the state of Nevada. That's impressive. I attended the UNLV/Minnesota women's game at the Cox Center (UNLV campus) game on Sunday, there were less that 300 people in attendance. [I]''It was weird,''[/I] Williams said. [I]''It was kind of like the Twilight Zone a little bit. I used to be here all the time, every week, watching my sister play, up in that front row, right where my parents were sitting, where my sister was today. Then having so many people messaging me and texting me, people I haven't heard from since high school. Pretty cool that they still welcome me.''[/I] Overall, a great 3-0 west coast road trip for the Huskies. Now they head home to get ready for the 6-0 fighting Irish on Sunday. Notre Dame is coming off an impressive 92-85 win over defending champion South Carolina. Since this was Gabby's homecoming game, and she played as well as she could, I'm going to default to Gabby, and give her my BA award for tonight's game. in person, (Crystal English [/QUOTE]
