Yes, for the present best duo in NCAAW. And, they will work together for full 4 years.

I am going to go with Charles and Moore with Stewie and Mo a very close second.

 

[geneticrex]

DT and Geno were the top WBB duo of ALLLLLLLLL TIMES!!!!!

 

[CocoHusky]

Yes in the recent last 5 years. Before that Tina and Maya.

 

[alexrgct]

I think that, much like Maya and Tina 2010, the Mo-Stewie tandem will also split NPOY awards. Mo won't "just" be Paul to Stewie's John. Maybe Page to Stewie's Plant or Keith to Stewie's Mick?

 

[Aluminny69]

DT and Sue Bird. Best all-time duo.

ETA: In 2005, Sophia Young and Stefanie Blackmon were unstoppable for Baylor in the NCAA tournament.

Much respect is given to the other comments on this subject. However.........IF Jefferson, Stewart and the rest of the TEAM can pull off a "4 peat" this season, THEY must be placed at the top of this list. Because they will have done something that no other college basketball player(s) has done before.

If winning is the only thing that matters, and the yardstick by which greatness is judged, then the choice is clear. With 4 championship rings on their fingers, they have to be deemed the best tandem or duo ever.

Magic Johnson said something once that is very true, and has stood the test of time. He said "No matter how great you were as a player, no matter how many records you broke or set, no matter how dominate you were. The only thing that people will remember about you is how many championships you won". If not them, then who? I rest my case.

Yesterday, Moriah was the best player on the court.
Stevie looked a bit bored in the absence of competition

There will be many such days (not necessarily aligned with boredom).

Mo is right up there.

Stevie looked a bit bored in the absence of competition

Yeah, pretty much. Reminds me of the benching incident. Moriah just smiled her little sharkey smile and went to work!

 

[RockyMTblue2]

She ain't heavy, she's my sister.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Moriah has a unique way of taking over games. She had 20 points yesterday and could have had 40. She also had 6 steals. She has the keys to the Ferrari, and, along with Morgan, is the player that the team listens to. Pencil her in as the Lieberman winner and unanimous All-American. She will have a legendary season.

Will you ever say anything that isn't obvious? Sheesh!

She's small and some people overlook her. But, figuratively speaking, even Stewie looks up to her.

Breanna and Moriah are needed in equal measure. No more, no less.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Interestingly enough, were they not the top 2 coming out of high per ESPN Hoopgurlz 2012 class?

A bit of foreshadowing maybe??

Classic- u got my vote! I'll second this one!

Awesome post--- I wouldn't put this above DT winning 3 in a row- 2 yrs carrying 1000 % less talent and depth on her shoulders the last two years- and pretty banged up. Doesn't lessen my admiration for this group one bit! Just my opinion!

If we're talking about team outcomes in terms of duos (meaning, championships), I think you have to put Stewie and Moriah at the top, especially if they win #4 this year.

If we are talking duos in terms of team performance AND individual numbers, it's hard not to give the edge to Tina and Maya (for now), as they are the #1 and #2 scorers and re-bounders in UConn history, which is a remarkable stat considering they shared the court for three years. They also had a 78 game win streak to wrap up their three years together, not too shabby either.

What does she know; she wasn't even a starter?

Yup, that's what makes you Dagwood.

Indeed. Stewie was clearly one of the top HS recruits ever, and Moriah was the highest rated PG ever per Hoopgurlz.

As Jim Foster said about Geno, "He does more with more."

 

[alexrgct]

Indeed, Geno did more with Moore. He won 90 games in a row and two NCs, along with an Olympic gold medal and two FIBA championships. Geno will do more with Moore in Rio next year, too.

And I'll be there to see it.
