Thank you, Saniya Chong

[SallyH]

Thank you, Saniya. Thank you for four years at UConn. You finally got your chance to shine this year and you certainly did.

Don't listen to all the junk on here. This was a team loss, just as the thirty-six wins were team wins. I'm so glad you chose UConn and I've often wondered how you survived a recruiting class of one. Where did you turn when you needed support your freshman year?

You survived and advanced and grew on offense and defense and have become a complete elite player. Bravo! Best of luck in the league.

Great season and, apart from the last play, a great final game. Hopefully that's not what she's remembered for, or not what she herself remembers about this year or her UConn career.

 

[Blue Huskie]

GREAT Season for her. It was a pleasure to see her progression. She has everything to be proud of.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Thanks, Saniya!

Go kick some butt at the next level.

 

[housekeys]

Thank you Saniya! Keep your head up. The team lost. You and your teammates are all winners.

 

[NHFan]

Solid season Saniya, you became a main cog in a huge machine. Good luck with your future!!

 

[Bayareahusky]

Saniya you have had a great career... Thank you for all the hard work and 3 national championships!!!! Good Luck going ahead for you!

 

[magic]

Thank you Saniya for 4 great years of dedication ! And thank you for trying to make a game winning play at the end .

 

[Lobo50Fan]

How many players can finish their college careers with only 2 losses? That is incredible!

 

[Chong-Master]

Saniya - you are a credit to the program and an inspiration to all who will come behind you. Thank you for showing everyone what Saniya Chong is all about, from your days at Ossining High School thru your 4 years at UCONN.

 

[Bigboote]

I will miss her. I do wish she'd gone out with another championship, but she played her heart out, and she knows she's going out having given her all.

 

[JellyBean]

Amen!! Great write up. Thank you, Saniya for your grace and smile. Thank you for four years of representing the program in the proper fashion. You have made us alumni proud. Well done young lady and we wish you the best. Once a Husky always a Husky.

 

[Phil]

I just had a nice chat with her high school coach, and expressed how appreciative we have been for her contributions, especially this year.

 

[CL82]

Saniya, Congrats on a great senior year! You were an indispensable part of the team's success this year. We don't get to the final four without you. Watching you become a confident, comfortable player was one of the highlights of the season.

 

[Gus Mahler]

Thanks, Saniya. I will miss you.

 

[Kaizen]

Thank you Saniya, lets all stay together.

 

[Striper69]

Still LOVE Saniya but hoped they would win it all in her final year.

Good luck in the WNBA et al...

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

She showed her true grit by plugging through 3 years of disappointment to put it all together and become one of this years best point guards in WCBB!
Her finishing in the top 3 for assist to turnover ratio is quite an accomplishment!

 

[DALTX]

Thank you Saniya for sticking with UConn, and being a major factor in your senior year.

808 points!
308 assists!

And more national championships than losses!

 

[FLJOE]

Forget about the last shot. Looking at the film, you had a clear lane on the left side of the bucket but William slipped a screen and got in your way otherwise 2 points and the lead

 

[MilfordHusky]

How many players can finish their college careers with only 2 losses? That is incredible!

Stewie, Mo, and Morgan had 5.

Sue Bird had 4. Her class had more.

Maya had 4.

Saniya and T had 2.

 

[the Q]

Great season and, apart from the last play, a great final game. Hopefully that's not what she's remembered for, or not what she herself remembers about this year or her UConn career.

Hard for her not to be.

That was basically WBB's version of Chris Webber.

25 years later it's still what he's remembered for.

If Saniya or her friends etc read this (they shouldn't) that she/they should read your thread---thank you.

I agree Chong got a bad deal and worse PR--she finally got a chance prove everyone WRONG.

You are certainly correct --that Saniya has nothing but respect and admiration for a great year---the last shot
advised or not was within the flow of the game--it WAS a TEAM/Coaching loss---3 free throws (that Uconn normally makes (No Miss St defense here) or 2 2pointers and Uconn wins----
People other than Saniya who normally make open shots missed them---you have to ask the fans, including me,
could I have done better under the circumstances---most likely NOT. I don't know how Geno/Shea et al
could have prepared these kids for this mental collapse--.
I don't feel bad for me---I hate for our girls to have done so well/exceeded expectations and went home
crying---that hurts me.

 

[BroadwayVa]

Thank you Saniya, lets all stay together.

If we don't "hang" together---you know the rest!!

 

[BroadwayVa]

Thank you Saniya for 4 great years of dedication ! And thank you for trying to make a game winning play at the end .

Thank you , emotional me, this posting brought tear to me---thank you.

 

[HopJim]

Thank you , emotional me, this posting brought tear to me---thank you.

Most happy that she appeared healthy for first time in her career.

 

[ME Husky Fan]

Great job Saniya. Had to be rough for her through the injuries and for the core four getting all the publicity this year and for her to take that in the chin and perform to the level she did, she deserves special recognition and kudos for a great four years at UCONN. Best of luck Saniya..
