Carl Ademac with a fun article. Wait till Paige breaks in.
Oklahoma not ok stateTwo comments:
What was most incredible about Maya's steal against DePaul was her immediate time-out signal. Almost every other player would have turned and headed up court. And she was a freshman.
And I would have included the only play the 2002 actually needed to make all season, against Oklahoma State in the finals, with about a minute left. With four WNBA first round draft choices, Geno called it for Diana, who made the shot and fouled out OSU's All American Stacey Dales on the same play.
Great times Cat. I remember you picking up the check at Rick Bayless' Topolobampo - YUM, thanks!Great article by Carl and excellent list. He mentions some plays -- the Maya layup (#10) and Sveta against BC (#7) -- that I hadn't thought of in years. Of course the Maya steal against DePaul was truly amazing. I was at the game and dined in disbelief afterwards with @j66kicker, @ThisJustIn and others.

Ahh - Rush Street. I miss Chicago (and I didn't even live there - ha). We should organize a meet-up for a UConn-DePaul game whenever WCBB, air travel, etc., gets started up again.I simply returned the favor. You picked up the check after the Depaul game at Carmine's as I recall. A memorable Saturday night in Chicago.

Oh man - that was colder than cold! I remember ThisJustIn wanted to see what cheese curds were all about, so I grabbed a bag at the grocery store and snuck them into the trunk of her rent car (which she had loaned me the night before so the wimpier fans in the crowd could drive my car home after the Marquette game to get out of the cold). The curds froze solid while we were having breakfast and were like little orange rocks when she found them.I'll be there. I know there are questions about where future BETs will be but I wouldn't object to Chicago.
I think I'll pass on another meet-up in Milwaukee in January.
The DT game I remember most was the end of the TX game in the 2003 FF. She was immense throughout the comeback from 9 down but the block/rebound at the buzzer capped it.

That 2003 FF in the Georgia Dome was my first FF. Those 2 games had to both be at least in the top 5 best games ever. Maybe top 2.One memorable play in that game was with about 2 minute left and Texas up by 2. Ann Strother misses a FT, Wilnet Crockett grabs the rebound and eventually Dee hits a long three from the top of the key that put UConn up by 1. I was sitting at that end of the arena and jumped out of my seat. UConn had no business winning that game but UConn had Diana.
The Bobbypin Game!My all time favorite is Meg Gardler calmly fixing her hair and then hitting a 3..priceless
