Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

Connecticut celebrates the career of Rebecca Lobo.

Says the Courant: "After a college career that thrust the University of Connecticut into the hearts of many, an Olympic gold medal, a professional career that helped launch the WNBA and a return to Connecticut in her final professional season, Lobo leaves a game forever changed by her involvement."

Says Geno: "It would be hard to put into a short paragraph what she has meant. All the things that go into making Rebecca Lobo who she is - I think the simple way to say it is that she might have had the biggest impact of any player ever at any program in the college game. She was able to take the game to a national level."

Mike Anthony remembers the UConn days and the national championhip, which was the highlight of her career.

Lobo, who is planning on having kids before too long, is hoping to stay involved with the WNBA and the Sun, perhaps as an announcer.
