Message: [QUOTE="Pride fan, post: 2083313, member: 7682"] UConn players are at a disadvantage on this kind of list because the Huskies are typically unselfish and are surrounded by great players, so their individual stats are relatively modest (except maybe assists) compared to what they would be if they played on almost any other team. A strong player who is on a team with mediocre players often looks much better stat-wise and in relative importance to her team . How many teams would have pulled a player who had hit 10 straight threes? How many points and assists would a certain 5'5" Freshman have scored on any other team in the country? What would the stats look like for a player who makes almost 50% of her shots, 40% of her threes, 80% from the free throw line, is a precise passer and and plays excellent Defense if she was something other than a "mere" 5th starter? It makes it all the more impressive that Lou and Pheesa are still at the top of their list. In reality Gabby and Crystal would (should) be higher if the list was based on quality of play rather than stats [/QUOTE]
