Message: [QUOTE="southofnorth, post: 2897464, member: 9132"] My pick is Lobo. If we’re strictly speaking about UConn careers, then she’s the 4th. She averaged a double-double her So & Jr years and almost averaged a double-double during her Sr year. She shot 50%+ from the field her last two season, including 35% from beyond the arc her final season. For a kid that primarily played the center position, that’s pretty good. Until Stewie broke the record, she was also UConn’s all time leader in blocked shots. The only thing that she could’ve done better was her FT% (around 68% her last season). She has a positive assist-to-turnover ratio during her senior season, and she’s a huge part of why they went 35-0 and won their first national championship. Tina shot an incredible fg% and was a rebounding machine, but she never had a positive assist-to-turnover ratio and she was nowhere near Lobo’s record for blocks. Bird and Jefferson were both great passers and could score the ball, too. But neither had the kind of impact on the program that Lobo did. I think a lot are also thinking about what the other players on this list did AFTER UConn, which is admittedly hard to separate from who they were in college. Also, considering how much Geno praises Lobo for everything she did on and off the court during her time at Connecticut (and after she graduated; all that she did for women’s basketball as a whole) she really should be getting more attention.
