Yeah DD. I thought the same thing about Angel Reese when she did that last night.

Just think of our Maya, for example. She would pull some amazing thing on the court and just give a subtle smile. Pure class.

Wellllll, when Diana did her stuff - particularly the "call me" during the game at Duke, we ate it up. Fans of other teams thought it was classless. I am not sure I see much difference here.
I think how you feel about the extraneous displays all depends on if the person doing it is on your team or a rival's team.

I think how you feel about the extraneous displays all depends on if the person doing it is on your team or a rival's team. I definitely thought of Diana and her antics. However, it was a road game at Duke I believe and the fans there are notorious for trashing players. DT was just giving it back This was a home game and someone said Reese does this all the time.

It's great to hear from you David!
Maddy obviously had a great game, but I believe the commentators alluded to the fact that she didn't score near the end and I wanted to go back and find out when was the last time she scored. I didn't find time to do that so I appreciate you noting not relevant fact.
Another interesting stat — Villanova took 62 shots; Maddy and Lucy combined for 40 of them, or 65% of the team's shots. Their combined 40 shots is only nine fewer than UConn took as a team.
Thanks to DD for making me look smart.
While everybody who is even remotely paying attention knows who Maddy is, when the team was warming up, the woman sitting next to me pointed out Lucy and commented that she looked about 12 years old. I told her to pay attention because she was very very good.
On several occasions, when Lucy made a great plate was scored, I turned to her and said see what I mean.
I'm not sure whether I read the expression on her face correctly. It was either "why the hell are you bothering me?" Or "my God your knowledge of this team is impressive!" I'm going with the latter.

Lucy is local, from Collegeville, PA, near where my dad grew up (and went to Ursinus College, hence the town's name) and a few miles from where Geno grew up. Maybe Geno wishes he spent a bit more time looking in his old backyard....

Actually Taurasi did it right after the final horn after putting up with the Duke idiots who had taunted her all game. Taurasi and Bueckers thrive on taunts. You only have to hear the things that come out of student sections to believe that her response was a humorous answer.
