Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3837072, member: 5798"] For me it was Aaliyah’s block and score with an and 1. I was in the chat room when she made that play and I commented RIGHT THEN that it was (to that point) the play of the game. Looking back, it still is because it took more athleticism, effort and hustle to pull off than Paige’s play, which in my humble opinion is the runner up here. Both plays were great and exciting, but Aaliyah gets the nod and the tip o the turban. You’ll see another UConn player make an “up and under”, or as Gary Apple called it, a “dipsy-do” before you'll see another player go up on a shooter behind the arc, getting ready to launch one, get a clean block, recover the ball and take it down to the other end of the court (running full speed) with an opposing player in hot pursuit, [B]and hit the lay up[/B]. Aaliyah’s play was the POG, and a testament to the urgency level of her game to make plays like that and her will to win. ;) This was another example of the "toughness" that Christyn and other players told us about this past summer. A lot of players simply don't have THAT type of motor that allows them to make those types of plays. It took her a split second to see the player getting ready to put up an uncontested 3, and make the decision to challenger her. 18 hours later, we're still commenting on it. I loved it!! And I bet she'll be wearing a mouth guard from now on too. [B]Gabby Williams[/B] was the last UConn player that I can remember that ALWAYS wore one. :D [/QUOTE]
