So proud of her. Every accolade she gets is well deserved. One of the all time greats in the WNBA, but rarely gets the praise or publicity she should. What a tremendous representative of UConn as well. Way to go Tina!!!

Great to see Tina break the Sylvia Fowles rebounding record! Amazing career to date and more to come!!

 

[UcMiami]

Was hoping she would get the record rebounding her own miss so we could get a zinger from Geno about padding her stats.

Great accomplishment.

So happy for Tina. It was so long ago she struggled in her freshman and sophomore year, and now look at her!
Gobble up as many stats as you can TC!

Didn't she have a photo in her UConn locker of Sylvia guarding or blocking or scoring on her as motivation? Full circle moment to end up breaking Syl's records.

Congrats to Tina, very well deserved!

One of the MANY things I admire about Tina is her selflessness and willingness to make a positive difference in the world. It has been well documented on how she founded and the commitment she made to the Hopey's Heart Foundation to supply AEDs (defibrillators). When she started the foundation, it was only a matter of time before her work would save a life. Here she is meeting a man who's life she saved by making defibrillators more available:



She may never achieve the WNBA championship she worked so hard for, but she will always be a champion to many!

Tina deserves every award she has ever been given ... and more, much more. She has done herself and UConn proud!
