Message: [QUOTE="CTinLA, post: 4909581, member: 12518"] This season I have mostly been lurking on the BY rather than participating, but I had to speak up tonight because I am SO incredibly proud of the effort that we saw from this team over the past couple of days. When Aaliyah went down on Saturday, I thought that our chances of winning the BET were about 30%, with a close win over Creighton a possibility. Boy, was I happily wrong! Congrats to GT for an impressive run in honor of their late coach, and for their effort tonight. But the effort from the Huskies- just wow! Huge credit goes to Paige for her unbelievable performance in all three games. Her offensive output was ridiculous with 83 points in 3 games, but it was her defense that truly stood out. Rebounds, steals, and blocks, oh my! The Huskies are so lucky to have her. It was the performance from Ice, however, that led to two dominant wins. I don’t know what clicked for her, but she played with skill, intensity, and stamina on both ends of the court, and she did it with only 3 fouls in 80 minutes. Great contributions from KK, Ash, Q, and, of course, the heart of the team, Nika. Each year seems to have a special team, but this group is unique. They play with intensity, fire, heart, and they play for each other. It is a joy to watch! One more tourney to go. [/QUOTE]
