Part of the reason is that many of us who are passionate about a sport - in my case, baseball - actually, it could be anything in life - hit a brick wall, a time when it looked like we weren't going to make it, a time when we were totally over our heads. We know that the hardest thing in that situation is to not give up, to stay the course, to double down. The easiest thing is to give up, to throw in the towel. Well, her answer was to become the UConn all-time assist leader, and by quite a bit. I saw her play in person probably 30 times or so and was always captivated by the way she went about things. Just pure intensity, fire, exuberance, spirit. Highs, lows, in betweens, it was captivating. What a character. What a warrior. All the while reaching out to teammates and fans, a huge, generous, vibrant personality. She was just such a delight to watch. My favorite Husky ever. Her basketball skills, while formidable, was only part of the story. It is the spirit she embodies. The zest, the drive, the passion. I have a funny feeling the Liberty will pick her at eleven.
