Message: [QUOTE="connie, post: 3090796, member: 7882"] True enough. And one might add that for Stewie's first two years, she shared rebounding duties with Steph. Of course, Phees did not get nearly the minutes her freshman year as did Stewie in hers. Phees also shared RB'ing duties with Gabby. But the point is well taken. Without a "true center" for her soph, junior and senior years, Phees was called upon to shoulder a heavy rebounding load. She did it. Let's also acknowledge her durability--some of which can be credited to not only a combination of good luck, good genetics, and a committed work ethic, but also intelligent play (a smart player is perhaps less inclined to over-react or put themselves in a position to get injured). Don't have the stats in front of me. But did Phees ever miss a start or even come up limping, holding an elbow, shaking a hand, etc.? The shot to the mouth early in the UCF Conference Final is the first time I recall seeing her react to any kind of physical slight. [/QUOTE]
