Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 2646823, member: 7511"] Back before UConn whipped Duke eight consecutive times, leading to JPM ending the series, Duke was a perennial powerhouse in WBB, and games between the Huskies and Blue Devils were “must-see TV” with the two schools splitting their first six matchups. My favorite game in that series occurred on February 1, 2003, when UConn paid a visit to Durham, NC to face the #1 ranked Duke Blue Devils before a packed house at Cameron Indoor Arena and a national TV audience on ESPN. The Duke student body, otherwise know as the Cameron Crazies, were loaded for bear. They cheered passionately for their Blue Devils, and derisively against the Huskies. If there was one particular target of their derision, it was Diana Taurasi (DT). While we can debate whether DT is the GOAT, one thing that is indisputable is that [B]DT is the cockiest WBB player ever.[/B] As the Cameron Crazies road DT every time she touched the ball, DT gave as good as she got, jawing back and forth with the Duke student body. As for the game, DT was terrific, running the show flawlessly while scoring 17 points for the Huskies. Also chipping in with 17 points and 11 rebounds was Ann Strother, who had one of her very best games at UConn. As UConn was putting the finishing touches on a 77-65 win over Duke, Geno finally took DT out of the game. As she was leaving the court to a loud chorus of mostly jeering fans, DT turned to the Cameron Crazies, flashed one of her devilish smiles, put her hand up to her ear in a mock gesture of holding a telephone and yelled out, “CALL ME.” [B]It was one of those absolutely priceless moments that will lead me to adore DT forever.[/B] [/QUOTE]
