The moment Stewie became a Superstar.... and won the N.C.

For me, Stewart really stood out to me in the Big East and NCAA tournaments. I think from the Maryland game on she scored 20 points in those last 4 games. But in the FF she blew my(and pretty much everyone else's)mind(s).
 
Well this was very well written, and a great story, I have one issue with the title. AND WON THE NC. To me, reading that makes it sound like she single handily won the national title. The truth of the matter is, that while she emerged as a star, UCONN never would have won this title without KML, Dolson, Faris, Hartley all who played some of their best basketball of the season, especially in the final four. While Dolson's numbers were down, she was playing thought two injuries. I would not mind if it said and help win the nc. But the wording to me is wrong.

Thank you for pointing out "the truth of the matter" that UConn actually had five players on the court during the NCAA tournament. The good news is I knew that, having watched all the games. ;)

So then why write something about how Stewart won the National title. It was a team effort..
 
Because. The. Article. Was. About. Stewie.

Gosh, I hope I wrote that slow enough for you to follow. KML won the NC that night. Faris won the NC that night. They all won the NC that night. Nobody disputes that. 4,396 read this post and a vast majority understood the meaning of the title and the story. Feel free to have the last word, as you no doubt will.

or...
The moment Stewie became a Superstar... And Helped Win The NC.

It is true that Stef played with courage comparable to Willis Reed (and she stayed on the court longer), but Stewie played like Walt Frazier did in that game. As I recall, Clyde had 36 points and 17 assists, one of the greatest peerformances ever by an NBA player in a championship game -- but it remains forgotten in favor of Willis going out on the MSG court and knocking down two shots to inspire his team and drive the crowd into a frenzy.
But now people tend to forget Stef and recognize Stewie. Stef should meet Clyde. Forgotten Heroes indeed.

Believe it or not you sold Clyde short. 19 assists! (per NYT). 36 points on 12 for 17 FG, 12 for 12 FT. Wow!

I have to say that even though I didn't post about it, the subject line was not something I liked.

You do not need to be rude... but it must just be in your nature. While you insult me, you also insult Kelly by not knowing how to spell her last name. Regardless if I am the one person out of the 4,396 people who did not "like" the meaning of your title, ( I do understand what you were going with, and still think it is wrong).... it does not matter, I have the right to express my opinion on the matter as you have the right to post comments about writing things slow enough. And while we are at it, how does the speed at which you type help people comprehend the meaning of the words you use? Especially when you leave out key words...Icebear and Phil can show you how using an additional word or two makes the whole thing better and changes the entire meaning.

neag.....My apology if you feel insulted, I was using sarcasm. The Faris error was a typo, which I've corrected. Just like the first word in your original post. Perhaps you meant "while" but it came out "well." No big deal. You and I both have a deep affection for UConn women's basketball and the wonderful players. We should get along. I put lots of effort and research into the various pieces I post and it is a bit insulting when you say "the truth of the matter is....UConn would have never won this title without KML, Dolson, Faris, Hartley..." The implication being that I don't get that fact. I do, and said so several times in the discussion. The title was not "wrong", but using "helped" would have been better. I admit that, again. I can't change the title, only the moderators can. Let's focus on watching UConn try to win the 9th N.C. and then we can co-write the resulting article....Go Huskies..!!
 
"We".... lol, thats what I say all the time! As fanatics we're invested and feel as if we are one with the program, as we should, as it is our support (in all aspects) that helps the program to be what it has become. So, my fellow UConn fanatics (fans, lol) embrace the "We"!
 
Really enjoyed the OP and understood that in writing a piece devoted to a single player on a NC team that it wasn't intended to slight the other players, only to highlight one exceptional player. And enjoyed the well researched facts included like the 2-7 from three in the 2nd 3rd and 4th games compared to the 7-8 in the last two, a comparison I had not realized or seen before.
Could the title have been a little better - yes, but come on guys! Great post devoted to a great player on a great team.

And of course the Twain quote -
Only kings, presidents, editors, and people with tapeworms have the right to use the editorial 'we.'​
Edited to get the quote right​
