Kudos to Megan Walker

[psconn]

I know she's a freshman and subject to highs and lows, but my sense was that if Megan had come in and did the deer in the headlights thing, the game could have gone very differently. When Gabby had to exit due to fouls that gave UCLA a psychological boost, but Megan's general level of play and those fearless consecutive 3s were highly demoralizing to the Bruins. Well done young lady.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Yeah, the kid from Virginia who kept shooting daggers in the 2nd quarter is a freshman and has nearly 4 full seasons left.

 

[cbraarj]

I love watching her play and the beat will go on!

 

[BostonCanuck]

It was Megan that allowed the team to finally gain sufficient separation to put the game out of reach. She had ice in her veins to drain those three threes at THE critical time in the game. That, plus the say she moves, really reminds me of DT. But then the GOAT does make most of her bunnies.

 

[HawkHusky]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Megan Walker has arrived.

What a gutsy performance she had in a tough environment.

 

[eebmg]

and unless I am wrong, she hit a 4th three around the same time that was called off when Crystal had a foul called against her.

Megan Walker just isn't your average Freshman. Simply amazing, with nerves of steel. She alone for a part of the first half kept Uconn going.
Megan had me out of my chair at 11 Pm and 12 Am---I kept yelling (my neighbors are miles away) that ain't no freshman (Kibs can correct the grammar, but it was effective).

I hacen's seen the stats yet but I believe you are right--Amazing Walker--she can't go to LA, she'll get arrested for murdering UCLA chances.

Geno will kick her butt, maybe while kissing it, for missing the bunny---the 12 killer points certainly made up for that. NO FEAR FROSH

 

[huskeynut]

Megan is the real deal. The look in her eyes when she is on the court tells it all. She is focus and ready. No fear.

doesn't that make you feel warm all over? Amazing Walker, super frosh.

 

[Ozimoto]

Yeah, I would say last night was her coming out party.

Doesn't Megan deserve the Junior Badass award?

 

[GoingPostal]

I couldn't watch the game so the only highlights I've seen have been on ESPN this morning. The 2 minute recap featured all 3 of Megan's 3's. I know 4 games isn't a true barometer of a full season but what progress from the Stanford game to last night. It's going to fun to watch!

 

[UConn82]

I have posted about MW before. She is going to be really great, and she was excellent last night. She is more than "in the rotation." On almost any other team, she starts. On most teams, she would already be the best player. Much, much more to come from her.

 

[Kaizen]

UConn girl Megan, just awesome.

 

[LasVegasYank]

After watching her last night, it's obvious she's something special.

I hope I live long enough to read the conversations during the coming years with comparisons to Diana. I think they're coming.

You will... like a rock to live long long enough and healthy. God always blesses good people like you.

 

[jimazee]

Superb performance at a critical time.

IIRC recently there were some 'questions' about her shooting here. I think (for now) that's behind us.

 

[CL82]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Megan Walker has arrived.

What a gutsy performance she had in a tough environment.

Too soon to say yet. Remember Crystal's performance against Baylor last year?

Still, Megan looked good didn't she?

(Well at least in the first half, I fell asleep for the second...)

 

[UConnNick]

She wasn't the only one who missed an uncontested layup. We missed a few of them. That needs to be improved.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Too soon to say yet. Remember Crystal's performance against Texas last year?

Still, Megan looked good didn't she?

(Well at least in the first half, I fell asleep for the second...)

You mean Baylor, but I was thinking the same thing.

 

[ME Husky Fan]

Quite simply - welcome aboard...

 

[CL82]

You mean Baylor, but I was thinking the same thing.

Yep, thanks. I'll go fix that.

 

[ME Husky Fan]

Maybe it was supposed to read 'in Texas'?
