Skylar's attitude: do we need some of it to win it all?

[TRest]

They are not mentally tough enough. Period.

Yep. They get punched in the nose by this team and always fold. Somebody needs to knock their guards on their ass when driving, it will never happen.

Sounds like what folks say about Diana. Except for the ring part.

Sounds like what folks say about UConn fans. Except for the ring part.

If Skylar had anything to show for it I'd at least have respect for her. But she hasn't done anything, ever. Diana can be like that because she has THREE rings

 

[blackbird]

Diana had it the moment she stepped on campus. She didn't wait for the three rings.

I hate that Skylar is treated like she's Dwayne Wade with the refs. But other than that, I like her as a player.

She had a swagger but wasn't a disrespectful brat like Skylar is

She hasn't done anything? Hey Kait, she and ND have beaten UConn 6 out 7 times. Don't understand all the hate dumped on her. She has an attitude and backs it up with her play.

She won rings from that? Interesting, I didn't know beating 1 team gives you championships

 

[Icebear]

She was all but crying when down in the first overtime. She thought it was over. Our youngin's didn't close the deal at the FT line or it would have been.

Well I think she has a couple of BE regular season championships. Or, does that not count in your book? Just wondering.

3 in OT and 1 point games this year. It's not like we are getting beat up.

Agreed. Plus, Little Miss Diggins during the game chose to run over to courtside and get some high fives from some on lookers. I thought that was a little much and something Geno would have benched Diana had she done it.

Skylar isnt Diana... her time is almost up, bare with her for maybe 9 more games

Man, I don't want to bear with her. I want us to beat her.....

I disagree. Yes she is a phenomenal player. But give me humble like Maya! I wasnt afan of Taurasi's attitude. Yes, she won. But Maya Moore was what UCONN was all about!

Ok. You want a more humble player. But, do you agree she has done something during her career at ND?

Lol. Diana is most clearly the embodiment of Geno. If any player was UConn, it was she.

Not everyone is capable of playing with humility. People are wired differently. Joe Dumars, Maurice Cheeks, and many, many others were capble of playing well while maintaining a low key. Dennis Rodman was extremely humble during his first few years in Detroit. But, he became a superstar when he released his flamboyant personality.

 

[Bestiarius]

The thing I like most about Skylar is that she'll be gone next year.

 

[huskyblooz]

Oh, no question! She's got ice in her veins. I've followed UCONN since '94 and she is the BEST opponent I have witnessed. This includes Griner, Holdsclaw, etc.
Diggins killed us. And as I told my dad tonight (the biggest ND fan anywhere), if she had more class and didnt whine, I would be a big fan. ...BTW, Notre Dame football is my second favorite team!

Your right, ND didn't beat up on UConn but they won. A win is a win. All I'm saying is give Diggins some credit even if you don't like her attitude.

I would have to say Lobo would be the face of the program

Exactly my point. Which is why I like Dumars and Cheeks and I dont like Rodman. Thank You!!!!

Definitely doesn't count. Regular season championships don't mean much. Who looks back on players and says, "Oh, they won 2 regular season championships! Phenomenal player." ... No one

I agree. But you can still win with humility
