For the younger guys who never saw the loquacious Bill Walton play basketball in college, think about the way Breana Stewart played the second half tonight when she played a one woman zone and dominated the entire defensive end of the court(also offensive end) so that the other team couldn't even get a shot off. Bill Walton did that for 88 straight games for UCLA. He was the greatest college basketball player ever.

is Stewie the greatest women's Husky ever?
I always said Turasi was but Stewie is sure making a strong case for herself.
Turasi #1
Moore #2
Stewie #3
Lobo #4
Bird #5
If Stewie win this year.
she's the new #1.

Good question. I think I'm still partial to DT. She was so clutch. But Stewie is #2 in my book. So many stars, but I like your top 5.
Stewie's got to win four to even be in the discussion, IMO. What Taurasi did her final two seasons is remarkable. She had significantly less talent around her, and with the exception of Stewart's freshman season, had to play against a lot tougher competition..(and Stewart still had a lot of talent.)

It will die down once their season is over. Right now talking about actual basketball should be preferred over talking about theoretical basketball.
(And no offense to those who frequent the WBB board, but it is a different population of folks over there for the most part, and I'd rather see what this group has to say about the WBB team here and there)

You are correct, I also like to read some of the different opinions of people here. But there's been so many I've gotten a little tired of it. But yeah it won't be for much longer

I think the problem is that Walton played when most of his games were televised and able to be seen nationally. I think I saw Alcindor/Abdul-Jabbar on TV perhaps 5 or 6 times. I remember the Houston game like it was yesterday.
I still have to give it to Walton as the best, he was more active and covered more ground than anyone I've ever seen.
