My favorite moment from yesterday's game

I would normally agree with your comment, but Pheesa is the very last person who I would ever dream would mock an opposing player in such a manner, which leads me to the inevitable conclusion that Mabrey deserved it and the fact that it was Pheesa mocking her made it priceless.

Most of the time it is deserved (except with refs. most fans are clueless when it comes to officiating), but I still hate it.

For my money I think Mabrey runs too heavy and flat-footed, not as fluid as someone with more natural ability/athleticism would display. That's where she resembles her sister. She makes up for it thru hard work and perseverance but I think someone like Crystal, if she so desired, could take her at will. It will be interesting to see what the appetite will be from the WNBA, for Mabrey.

Doris hit the nail on the head with Mabrey. Get in her face/ kitchen or grill or whatever you want to call it and she looses her composure. Pheesa's clapping was the perfect way to get to Mabrey. And that's all part of the game. Mabrey has an attitude and she shows it off regularly. She was working the officials the entire game. On that particular play, I think she was very close to getting a technical. Refs are only going to take so much jawing from a player.

She was whining quite a bit in that game.

What strikes me about this moment in the game is that although Notre Dame was still ahead, Mabrey was acting as though she was defeated and Collier was acting as though she knew uconn was going to win. They both knew the game was over!

Wasn't it Mabrey who clotheslined Gabby last year near the end of the game?

IMO, Mabrey has several questionable defensive tactics. She disguises them well, but I think she gets into flagrant foul territory more than the refs notice.

If nothing else, Mabrey certainly gets under the skin of the Boneyard. She really rubs me the wrong way, but she can play. Sorta like a certain ex-UConn player who also spends a lot of the time crying to the refs. Like height, you can't teach that kind of competiveness. Definitely a Jersey girl, though I don't know which exit.
