This is more like it. Also should have been a Finalist for the Dawn Staley Award

Congrats to Moriah. In a way I can't fault the "committee" regarding the Staley award, since it seems that award is for the best 2G in the nation. I think it's logical that Mitchell is on both lists as she's THE player who has the ball in her hands, and she scores a ridiculous amount of points, and she's easily the NFOY (unless you live in the woods and only pay attention to the "published" hype of the "other" players in the NPOY race)...

I agree. Moriah is clearly the most dynamic PG. Stunningly quick. Awe inspiring ball handling skills. Scoring at will theses days. The description from Doris Burke when she spoke of Stewie applies. Once or twice every game, she does something that only she can do.

Hmmm.... this is winnable

Congrats for making the Finalist List Moriah.........Win , lose , or draw you are still The Best. Good Luck the rest of the Tournament.

I saw a guard on a men's team try the move Moriah makes. She is much better. It gives an appreciation of the patience, control, and ball handling Mo displays. The guy fumbled the handle and rushed the pull back. She is playing so well these days.

That is a list of some great point guards. I like her chances.

Again, I think Johnson is Moriah's main competition, with Logic as a dark horse.
Mitchell is too young. Yes, she scores a ton of points, but as a point guard,when I've
seen her, she sometimes can be out of control (as freshmen sometimes are). Allen
is a nice player, but not in Mo's class.

Nice to see the nation's top PG is up for something.

Where do we vote??? Ready with lots of time & energy, I am!!!!

ITT: I learned that Mo actually has competition for best PG. Not that I believe it.

On Moriah, I will defer to 2 experts.

Jose Fernandez says she is the UConn MVP. I would think that the MVP of the nation's unanimous #1 team is deserving of a top award.

Sue Bird, the best PG in the world, is asking when MoJett graduates, because she doesn't want to play against her in the WNBA. No one, not even Geno, knows the role of PG better than Sue. Sue won the first THREE Lieberman Awards. Dee won the next two. Later on, Renee won one. The Lieberman belongs in Storrs. That 5'7" dynamo takes over games like no one else anywhere near her size. She's the new best!
