Congrats to Maria, UConn proud daughter.

2 time?

While she didn’t have a big role in 02, she was on the team.

Yes, I stand corrected. Forgot she was on the 02 team as well.

Invaluable to the team in 03 and 04. Allowed Diana to do her thing. Congrats Maria, another alum making us proud.

Good choice. If she gave me that whithering gaze of hers I'd turn my pockets inside out in a heartbeat.

Then when asked why he recruited her, Auriemma said, "I have no idea. When I watched Maria in high school, she was never happy on court. She has got a miserable on-court demeanor. If she were a doctor, she would have no patients.''

 

[Lawrence]

Congrats to the two-time national champ:

Good Luck Maria. I still miss seeing you play.

 

[JellyBean]

Pretty awesome. Congrats and best wishes, Maria!! #BleedBlue.

I hope someone asks Geno about this —

I can imagine different types of responses ….

“Maria couldn’t count that when there were 2 people on her that meant someone was open but sure give her all your money”

Or

“Maria will be great. She would always tell me how many minutes she played, how many points she scored. She’s great at counting,”

Didn’t he also say something like: what she lacks in height she more than makes up for with her lack of speed.

CT loves its home bred Huskies. Congrats to Maria and her team.

[Blueconn]

Key element in our first dynasty…the threepeat of ‘02-‘04. Especially important in the season after the departure of the legendary TASS force. Played 75 minutes in the 2003 FF with just 1 turnover.
