Who says that Napheesa is playing like an AA?

Thanks. I wondered about that too.

I think two UCONN players are capable of a 5 x 5 - Collier and Williams. My gut tells me Stewie came close once or twice.

I confess. I have been a serious basketball fan for 70+ years. About 40 years ago I learned what a double-double was (Thanks, Oscar!) and more recently, a triple-double (now being patented by Russell Westbrook).

But the term 5 x 5 is one I never heard before. It seems beyond what a mere mortal baller can achieve under competitive conditions.

So now, Pheesa darn near did it. WOW! Which begs the question: Has anyone ever done it?

Ben Simmons, LSU (19.9 ppg, 14.9 rpg, 6.0 apg. Against North Florida last Wednesday, the 6-10 freshman forward became the only player in the last six seasons to have 40 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and five steals in one game. Simmons also blocked three shots, leaving him two blocks shy of the first ‘5 x 5’ game in college basketball history (minimum five points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks).

Breanna Stewart had a 5 x 5 game last season. against FSU 16pts., 5rebs., 7asst., 5stl., and 6blk.

Without passing any judgment on Williams (who I think may be team MVP) and Katie Lou, Napheesa is having an All American season. Period.
