Message: [QUOTE="Buzzyboy, post: 2014008, member: 1364"] UConn played seven or eight top fifteen teams earlier this year and it seems to me that KLS showed herself pretty well. You talk about DT winning the MVP in the regionals and I don't recollect that (but it may be true). You do realize that in the regionals, most of the time you are playing at least a couple of games (if not more) against mediocre, at best, teams. A lot of UConn blowouts leading up to the Final Four attest to that. You must also remember that her horrific shooting in the semi-final game at the Final Four against Notre Dame was one of the most putrid exhibitions in the history of the Final Four. I realize she was only a freshman but it was dreadful by any standards. She couldn't hit the broad side of a barn and yet her cockiness had her lofting bad shot after bad shot after bad shot. I much prefer the quiet confidence of a player like KLS than the bombastic nature of someone like DT. She obviously was (is) a great player but I often felt that it was more about her and less about the team. Anything that would get her attention was in order (including that silly stuff punching that orange stanchion) and give me the Silent Assassin (KLS), every time. I respected (respect) her abilities but she is well down the line of my favorite Huskie women. She was one of those people who LEAST exemplified "the Huskie way", in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
