Someone please tell me why, when I saw and watched Ionescu Friday, she
immediately reminded me of a player on our team. A player (like her) that can do EVERYTHING, and is such an instrumental part of the team and its success. Ionescu won that game for the Liberty just as Bueckers won the South Carolina game for us.
That last second 3 point shot at the end of the game
was a dagger in the heart of the Fever. Funny, I seem to remember Paige having the same reaction to her made three immediately afterwards. Last year, the Liberty only won 2 games. What a great way to begin the new season, with a win, be it ugly or not.
I always enjoyed watching Sabrina at Oregon, and marveled at her ability to score and make plays on both ends of the court. She got her teammates involved in the game, and made all of the look good and play better. And then a second later, I realized........we have our own Sebrina Ionescu......in Paige Bueckers.
