Shout-out to Saniya Chong

[schmendrick]

No, she's not an All-American. She won't be on the Wall of Honor.

But there's a quiet, sleek confidence about her in these last games. I don't know that she's remade herself. It's just that she's, finally, grown into her potential. What a beautiful thing to see.

She belongs.

I've said at nausium that she's the MVP of this team.

She's come a long way. Danger just was not ready this year. She will be missed

 

[Hongster]

Man! Did she come to play today?!!! Loved them steals from her.

 

[Bigboote]

No, she's not an All-American. She won't be on the Wall of Honor. She's not even winning any of the badass competitions.

But there's a quiet, sleek confidence about her in these last games. I don't know that she's remade herself. It's just that she's, finally, grown into her potential. What a beautiful thing to see.

She belongs.

She did win the last badass award, and deservedly so. Other than that, I agree with everything you said.

I was cheesed off that the broadcasters talked through it when she was taken out for the last time in Connecticut, and they were showing the Oregon bench. Total lack of respect.

she was on fire - and her basketball IQ and passing has come a long way.

 

[Blueballer]

She's been nothing short of fantastic!

 

[topogigio]

Her overall ball handling, shooting, and passing was outstanding tonight...but, if you watched her closely on defense, she was nothing short of spectacular!

 

[Kaizen]

Chong's defense and offense have been really improved this year. So happy for her.

 

[Bronxjeff]

Saniya was a rock! And rock steady with the rock.

They were too busy talking about daddy Samuelson!

Love watching her confidence...she even seems to stand straighter. She's managed to peak in time to have a fantastic senior season and really have an impact the last several weeks. Just one the many reasons this team is so special.

I was at the game, and they announced the All Regional team. Saniya made the team with Jordan Canada, Sabrina Ionesco, Gabby and Napheesa.

That was really nice. What a great way for her last games in the State of CT to end.

Napheesa was the Most Outstanding player in the East Regional.

That is awesome.
Congrats to Saniya, Gabby and Pheesa

Congrats Saniya on making the all regional team!!!

Wow! Breaking news on the BY. Thanks for posting. Really, really, happy for Saniya. Hope her exceptional play continues.

Saniya also got what I think was the loudest standing ovation when she went out of the game for the last time.

Hear, hear! I am simply very happy for the kid.

As I said in another thread, Saniya is The 5th Musketeer. One for all, all for one. Who said, "No stars, blue collar, just blue collar" DT? This team has 5 stars who play blue colllar beautiful basketball.

They were too busy talking about daddy Samuelson!

Am I the only one tired of the interviews and camera shots of Jon Samuelson? I know it is a unique situation but it does not need overkill. They focus on him even when play is going on. Too many live ball, split screen interviews and not just involving Jon Samuelson. Just saying.

 

[donalddoowop]

Congrats Saniya on making the all regional team!!!

AT the beginning of the season their were some who posted that Dangerfield would be the starter by the start of the conference schedule and Chong would be a reserve. It's obvious they were very wrong.

And the loudest ovation was for Saniya, I think.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Saniya is playing her best basketball. I think she is auditioning for the draft as a by-product of trying to help her team win another championship.

Saniya and Tierney just became the top class in the history of college basketball: 152-1. They passed the great Stewie, Moriah, and Morgan tonight.

 

[magic]

Great all around game for Saniya tonight. She seemed determined to set the pace right from the tip !

Count me in that group. I hope South Carolina beats Stanford just so we can stop hearing about the Samuelson family, their dogs, and first world travel problems when there's, you know, a basketball game going on while ignoring our two seniors' last moments on a Connecticut court in front of their fans.
