From the morning Times, Jere Longman on Taurasi. "Is she the best ever? Cheryl Miller and Chamique Holdsclaw would receive a lot of votes in any poll. At the least, Taurasi seems to represent another branch in the evolutionary tree of the women's game." And this: "The night before the N.C.A.A. tournament began, she met with Auriemma and told him that she did not deserve the national player of the year award. Yes she did, he told her. She would have the tournament to prove it."
