Never has a name been more fitting. I mean, what else would you call the person that put the entire state of women's basketball on her back? That shot was simply willed in by Destiny, in more ways than one. That prayer did something that 100 straight University of Connecticut victories never could and that is make me question whether or not the women are actually capable of competing against the men. It took me about a half second to definitively answer that question, but that's a half second of thought that I never put into it before. Either the women's ball is made of the same material as NERF footballs, or Destiny Slocum undoubtedly has the strength to potentially surprise a presumptuous dude that was lackadaisical in guarding her off the dribble. I haven't attempted a throw-in since grade school soccer, but I can guarantee my last one would have fallen about 60 feet short of the one effortlessly tossed in from three quarters court by a Lady Terp. At 5'7 she obviously wouldn't stand a chance trying to her to get her shot off against her male counterparts, but she could probably back my ass down in the post with ease considering she's got the low center of gravity necessary to throw a basketball a mile from behind her head without a running start.
