Stewie 37 pts. 15 rebounds & Birdie 16 assists in win

[SVCBeercats]

Stewie and Sue were awesome and Loyd wasn't shabby. Both set personal bests with Stewie one point shy of Angel's high point mark in a championship game. Birdie set record high assists for championship series game. "Stewie had 37 points and 15 rebounds to become the first player in WNBA Finals history with a 35-point, 15-rebound combination in a game. Her 15 made field goals are the most in a Finals game and tied for the most in WNBA playoff history. During the regular season, Stewart averaged 19.7 points and 8.3 rebounds. In the playoffs, those numbers are 26.5 and 9.8." Yo, A'ja! Who is really the league MVP? Who WILL be the MOP/MVP for the finals?

Stewie and Bird were awesome, but Loyd definitely was awesome as well, as she has been throughout the playoffs. There, I'm not being a wet blanket, but sharing the praise.

Face it. Jewell is an honorary Husky. Her game fits so well with Stewie and Sue

Love her post game presser with her Nephew's goals she needs to reach. Tougher than Geno

I rarely make it through a half of a WNBA game. This I watched all the way. A game of runs. Stewie and Sue together are very special.

The cream always rises to the top!

 

[HopJim]

If you are any type of basketball fan, this is fun to watch.

 

[eebmg]

Actually, the Storm style that mimics UConn ( I wonder Why? ) is what makes the game attractive to me.

 

[Waquoit]

Stewie is the best in the world on her way to GOAT status.

Stewie is the best in the world on her way to GOAT status.

I didn't think I'd see a player even come close to the GOAT level of Diana, but my goodness, her 4th quarter last night was just poetry in motion and clutch.

 

[Bigboote]

I want to point out that Stewie did set a record for most points scored in a Finals VICTORY.

 

[msf22b]

It's fairly unusual for Stewie and Jewell to both go off in the same game.
Whenever it happens...Watch out!

The Seattle let-up in 3rd quarter seemed to be caused by both a lack of movement...and 2 or 3 misses in a row by Jewell, just about her only misses in the game.

 

[Steelerone]

Stewie, Sue, Diana, Phessa, these are not "Just to name a few", these are the best of the best, period. Uconn can be so proud. How lucky are we? Most schools would be happy to have just one of these names on the wall.

 

[hoopsfan22]

Wow Stewie is AMAZZZZZZING! I hope she stays injury free for the rest of her career.

 

[baggerbob]

One player who wasn't from Uconn, but plays like one is Loyd. She is the next shooting guard for the USA after DT leaves. If Sue plays a few more years, she could have 5 or 6 titles.

 

[chrissaran]

Birdie makes me want to grind my teeth.

Emotionally, I’ll always consider Diana the GOAT, but logically Stewie is making a case. It’s hard to argue with four NCAA titles and four Most Outstanding Players.

 

[MilfordHusky]

The most decorated player with USA Basketball is currently ... Sue Bird. But Stewie is currently ahead of Sue’s pace.

Not to have Maya come off your lips instantaneously? Out of sight, out of mind, I guess
