Glad to say.

Sister Joan Christe IHM taught me differently in grade school. She said all prayers do get answered, just not the way we want them to sometimes.

So you mean the rebounds Brenda was praying for got given to the Huskies instead? Somebody up there is being a bit mischievous.
 
I noticed in the pre game that she had the UCONN players numbers listed and next to each name, notes on how to guard them. I believe it said next to Kia Nurse - "foul prone - take the ball at her". I did not think any UCONN player was foul prone...

Sometimes the answer is No...

I guess it's all relative, but even so Nurse has more foul relatives: Tuck 65, Stewie 64, Nurse 58, Stokes, 58, MoJeff 56, KML 44. On a per minute basis Stokes would have the highest rate, and among the starters Tuck would be the highest. And from my recollection, a fair amount of Nurse's fouls have actually occurred when she is on offense and trying to drive the paint, so Brenda's "facts" may have come from the two quick PFs in the Dayton game, which were an aberration not a tendency for a player who averages 1.7 PFs a game.

Jones, Howard, and Mincy are more "foul prone" than any Husky, and Walker-Kimbrough trailed only Tuck and Stewie. MD commits almost 18 PFs a game; UConn less than 12.

Small difference between a u and a w but
maybe she was trying to say the Kia preferred chicken, turkey, quail or pheasant.
Thinking of it, I'm SURE that is the meaning that was trying to be conveyed since as Dobbsy point outs, some of Kia's teammates have more fouls.
 
but those are all maryland numbers and initials except for 23 KML
No, it's UConn numbers with mainly the MD player initials assigned to defending them, so Stewie by Howard, Tuck by Jones, Nurse by Brown, and MoJeff by Walker-Kimbrough. Not sure why KML's #23 is followed by her own initials rather than Lauren Mincy's (they do share an L and M), but it's either a mistake or it was a feeble attempt to disguise the code from being broken by intrepid BY sleuths.
