1. Very often announcers state, sports journalists write, or fans post praise for a team or individual that plays "on both ends of the court" or "on both sides of the ball." These are common cliches to describe individual or team excellence on both offense and defense.
The UConn performance vs. K-State introduced a new variation to those familiar statements. It may be said that our Huskies played exceptionally well inside the arc at both ends of the court. Aside from Stewie, plus solo shots by Lou, Saniya and Tierney, it was clang, clang, clang on triples all evening. Contrast that with ten swishes (30 points) by the Jack-'em-up-rabbbits. So much for our perimeter "D."
2. Badass Award. On a night when Moriah flashed her pull-up jumper again and Stewie dropped 25 (to pass 2,000), it was another Husky who tormented K-State even more. Badass Award . . . Gabby Williams!
