Who is Ketia Swanier

[Brewski]

Ducharme’s winning basket last night was UConn’s first game-winning shot since 2008 — which ironically also came at DePaul with 1.6 seconds left courtesy of Ketia Swanier. Wow! I don't think CD will hold onto this record nearly as long as Swanier did given that we will have a healthy PB playing for us for the next few years.

I remember this game like it was yesterday mind you we were down about 20 at half to DePaul in that game before the Swanier game winner

Yes remember it well I was so happy for her if I'm not mistaken she was the back up PG

The last 15 seconds were the longest 8 minutes of my life.

Thanks to your video, I finally remembered how to pronounce her name!

Maya's steal was kinda important too.

Ketia has a great family. Her dad has one of the best names ever:

Smoky Swanier.

Didn't Paige hit a game winner in our win over SC last year, or does that not count because there was still time for SC to try 4 layups and miss them all? They must have taken layup lessons from us just before the game. I could be way off here, as I am at the age where the things I remember most clearly never happened.

The SC layups that did not go were at the end of regulation, we were tied at 54-54. We won in overtime by 4 points 63-59.

The reason we have had so few game winning shots is that we have so few games that come down to a final shot, maybe two or three a year at most. A team that wins about 50% of their games has way way more opportunities and close finishes than either a very good or very bad team.

I had the good fortune to chat with her Dad on occasion....a 'walk-on' memory
failed to come up with his given name. I think my walk-on made a lucky hoop.
99% sure it is Carl

Carl [Smoky] Swanier ! Without the nickname it sounds like he is a bigtime
Hollywood star...full of glitter. The nickname adds a down-home/guy next door
quality to it...in person he is that. Both Mom and Dad are ex-military.

A quick google did not come up with his name but it sure sounds like Ketia
is doing just fine in the business world.....yes!

I forgot those awful "target-on-your-back" uniforms! (Thankfully, because they almost worked that night.)

Woof, what a game. Bunch of us were in attendance.

Megan made the right call with Ketia going coast to coast (Bob Pecozzi the play-by-play @LarryLegend). I see refs haven't improved since that game.

Swerve: I really enjoy listening to Bob when he does our games. Especially the 3/16/2017 AAC Tournament Championship between USF and The Good Guys. Some BYers may remember it because it was Louuuuuuuuuuu's 10 for 10 game!!!!!!!!
