By the way, a buddy of mine played for Southwest MO State University(SMSU) for three years and he commented on what a pure shooter she is and how she has a great understanding of how the game is to be played both mentally and pysically.

I love women's ball, too, but it doesn't get nearly the attention on this board that men's does. I understand, and after all, men's basketball is a great sport. But last year during March there wasn't any discussion about the women's games. Just none. Seeing that people are interested in it this year, I'm more likely to watch the games on TV, instead of tapimg them to watch later.
And I'm a Stiles fan, too. Remember she played here in Portland for two years, although her second year was a little too injury prone. She's such a terrific athlete and competitor, and not even remotely star-struck. She ALMOST balanced out all the garbage Portland took because of Rasheed Wallace. And that's a LOT of credit to her!!
