Mega kudos to Caroline [merged]

After all of the grief heaped on this young lady she deserves a "Hell of a game" from the BY. (And for the Stanford game as well.)

Two great and very different games for in a row CD'.

I was truly rooting for 3 assists in the 2nd half but the shots didn't fall. I really wanted her to get that triple-double.

the numbers were great - but her leadership midway through the first half when Oregon seemed to be "outplaying" us and Geno sent her back in was key to her value on the floor.

At this point in her career she has truly achieved coach on the floor status.

Yes, she was spectacular in this game.

Geno is so dumb... It is now obvious CD has been playing out of position all of these years. She is a natural post player.

She handled the point a lot today, has she been doing that all season? Or just in Bria's absence?

 

[Icebear]

When Caroline plays Bria is at the 2 and Caroline is the PG. Really Bria plays better as a 2.

Wish I could have seen it. Would have loved to see CD going to town on the Ducks.

I am one that doesn't comment enough on Caroline...and I should because she is one of the players that epitomizes UCONN women's basketball to me. My favorite moment of the Stanford game was a sequence under the basket with Stef defending Chiney with a lot of contact from both players...resulting in one of Chiney's few baskets that weren't putbacks. After the play Chiney was charged up and started to run up court right through Stef who essentially draped herself on Chiney for a moment causing her to throw up her hands to avoid being called for a foul that frankly could've gone either way. The first person over to Stef was Caroline with a huge smile on her face telling Stef (I imagined) that she was doing a great job on Chiney, keep it up etc.

Instead of being a little bummed she got beat on the play, Stef strided down the court with what looked liked a triumphant smile. That's the difference a Caroline or a Kelly makes...and we have a number of others that are assuming that mantle, as well...
