Message: [QUOTE="Majic Hands, post: 2998126, member: 8345"] Absolutely the best post & thread I’ve seen hear on the BY in many months. I check the BY most every day to see if there is any information, news, reports about the girls or the program. “Seems” as if this past year the least amount of the posts on the BY are about Uconn's Women's Basketball. Personally, I couldn't care less about any girl in High School or where she is going or not going. That’s the coaching & there staffs job. I care about the girls who sign up & show up. Every year I anticipate and expect a group of young ladies who take the floor and execute the amazing game of Basketball, to the best of their abilities for 40 minutes. As far as one & done players. A one & done takes game minutes and development minutes from the ladies who have and are committed to contributing for 4 years to the team, the program, & the fans. I prefer to watch & see that development. Last month I went back and watched every NC game. No, I can’t quote stats. But what I saw. What's in my mind was that in all eleven games was aggression. Pure and simple. The opponents never got a break or a chance to catch their breath, let alone figure out how to compete. I know it happened but I sure as hell don’t remember watching anyone walking the ball up. It didn't matter if it was an in-bound, rebound, tipped ball, turnover, or a steal, whoever was bringing the ball up was moving quickly while looking to attack or had already made the outlet pass to someone who was in a better position to attack. No one had the opportunity to get their defense set. My recollection, with the one exception (Breanna) is that the big stars really didn't have their best games in the NC’s but the opponents had to commit to stopping them and then scoring options 2,3,4, & 5 consistently came through, knocking down shots when they were open. It seems like at some point or two in every game the oponent would start to gather themselves and Boom! Boom! Option 3 scored, Option 5 scored! Just broke their backs and you could see them wilt! I am totally clear that most of the prolific posters here on the BY have forgotten more about basketball than I know. For example I had to look up G O A T. Everyone was calling DT the GOAT. If your talking total carrier I would agree DT is the GOAT. If your talking college, that just dumb! In women’s College Basketball Breanna Stewart is the G O A T! No need to say other wise. If you have another opinion, go watch the last four NC’s and get your mind straight. Just Say-N I absolute love watching College Women's Basketball. To me it is the purest form of BB being played. I don’t watch the NBA or their B league games that takes place on college campuses around the country. Have no interest in the WNBA, NFL, Socker, don't even watch NASCAR. Well. I have more to say but I’ll stop before I start cussing. Who know my grand kids or great grand kids might see this and I don’t want to embarrass them. Anyway, the girls will be playing in just a few minutes and I have to get KODI fired up. Last but not least. My favorite moment out of all 11 NC’s was delivered by Briana Pulido. Her shot. Her moment. Her Commitment. What that meant to the “team”. Those are the moments this old guy looks for. [/QUOTE]
