Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 3511181, member: 6911"] I remember #5. Spectacular by Swanier and Moore. But the most spectacular play I recall involved Diana Taurasi. And it ended in a turnover. UConn impounded the ball under the opposing basket. A UConn player threw a long pass to Diana, who was standing just to the left of the top of the key, with her back to the basket. How she did this, I will never know. But without looking, and without catching the pass, she reached up for the long pass, then flicked it. Yes just flicked it from the side of the top of the key to a UConn player standing right next to the basket. It was not only a "no look" pass, but it the ball came to D in front of her, and she flicked it behind her some 20 feet to the waiting UConn player. But that player wasn't "waiting," and was so shocked to get the ball that she flubbed the easy layup, and the opposing team grabbed the rebound. It was that "flick": a long hard pass above her head that she didn't even bother to grasp, and clearly redirected it directly to the UConn player on the other side of the basket. Just amazing! No basket. No assist. But wow!!! [/QUOTE]
