My favorite player and my favorite play..... watching DT back down Stacey Dales and foul her out with an "and one" in the championship game.
Please take this is a fun post. I had a back-and-forth with another poster regarding DT vs Clark. Why is it fair to overlook Clark's lack of titles if she gets none while being so focused on offensive stats vs a player like DT that came to UCONN specifically to win titles in which she knew she would not accumulate as many stats?I've always used as my measure the answer to the question of what player would you choose to start a team from scratch. Stewie has always been the answer to that question, and she remains so in my mind. But I've never seen a more amazing player in every aspect of the game than Caitlin. It doesn't seem fair to the girl because she couldn't (and won't) deliver a championship to Iowa. One player rarely can. EDD elevated Delaware into some notoriety, but her greatness only got them so far. Doesn't diminish EDD in any way; there are 4 other players out there . . .
Here's my corollary query: who would you most like to watch play? Difficult to NOT say Caitlin.
Take Breanna Stewart, for example, every year of her college career, two of her teammates were also WBCA All Americans, not to mention the other McDonald’s AAs stacking the UConn rosters of that great era.To play devils advocate, winning Championships is certainly a function of how talented your teammates are in addition to individual greatness.

Maya Moore was better than Breanna Stewart.
Worth noting that Stewart still managed to be a standout even while surrounded by such high caliber players. She truly made the game look effortless, particularly in her junior and senior years. If you're THE star on a team full of stars, that has to mean something.Take Breanna Stewart, for example, every year of her college career, two of her teammates were also WBCA All Americans, not to mention the other McDonald’s AAs stacking the UConn rosters of that great era.
