Rich: Making a 3 at MSG a memorable moment for Lawlor

[pap49cba]

“That’s unbelievable, isn’t it,’’ Auriemma said. “Did you see her reaction? I looked up at the scoreboard and I thought maybe the score was 78-77 and that was the game-winner, because that kid acted like that was the shot of the century. And you know what? That’s what sports are all about. A kid like that. You think last year that kid was sitting at home going, `You know what? Next year at Christmastime, I’m going to be at Madison Square Garden and I’m going to knock in a 3 on my only shot attempt.’ You’ve got to be crazy. The kid is living a dream. And God bless her, she deserves it because she works her butt off every day in practice. And the kids love her. The kids’ reaction was probably just as great as hers. That’s what you love about sports, when you have opportunities to see kids do stuff like that.’’

TLaw is now 6-14 from 3 pt...42%... I believe she got the rebound that led to her final shot... What a good thing to happen to a great kid..! Go TLaw..!!

I had the good fortune to be sitting 20 feet from her (thanks TJI) when she turned and reacted - I don't think I've seen a kid that happy in some time. Then I looked at the bench, and they looked like they were vying for "who's the happiest" honors, then I looked at Geno, and I don't think I've seen him that pleased since he gave Faris a hug. It was a great moment.

The bench's reaction was reminiscent of the reaction to Heather's steal and layup in the national championship game.

Who doesn't expect D.T., Maya or Stewie to make the play when needed. But somehow I get a tremendous amount of joy seeing players like Buck, TLaw make those kind of plays, even with the big leads and see the joy it gives them. To be surrounded by so much talent, busting your ass every day in practice, knowing you might get just a few minutes per game to make some impact, it is great to see them drain a bucket.

She got her Christmas wish early..........

Exactly.

 

[DishNSwish]

Which is exactly why people should stay until the game ends. You never know.....

If you watch the video in my Journal News Saniya Chong link, you will see TLaw's shot and reaction.

They're all good, but I'm struck by Shea.

 

[CTyankee]

I think the guards belong to Shea... No wonder she is delighted.

It's like a Christmas present for Shea to see TLaw knock it down.

And a great screen by Stef to free her up...

 

[rocky rococo]

Same here Phil. Nice to see Shea so ebullient. She's so goal-oriented that it seems sometimes she isn't having any fun. It's good to see an occasion when she obviously is enjoying herself.

Can you provide the link?
Thanks

 

[Bestiarius]

Lets be thankful. It's the superb play of Stef, Breanna, Bria, Moriah, Kaleena, Brianna, Morgan, Kiah & Saniya that enables these wonderful moments to occur.

It reminded me (us) of this:



Definitely a great moment. Being thousands of miles away, it still brought a huge smile on my face!
