Talk about being before my time.

I’m a big fan of 1950s basketball and Taylee’s set shot definitely feels old school, like Dolph Schayes or something.

As long as she doesn’t start smoking and drinking beers after each game, like some players from the ‘50s used to, then it’s ok with me! The set shot is a lost art form.

The analyst for the Colorado game said that the set shot is hard to defend. I'm not sure why. Can you say more? Is this why you refer to it as a lost art?

I think it's hard to defend because it's pretty much instantaneous and the defender doesn't really have a chance to react to it and contest the shot. Especially because of Taylee's drive ability that forces the defender to back off a little when she's out there behind the arc.

Taylee is one of the most unorthodox basketball players I've ever watched. She's just amazing, but what she does can't even be taught. That winning layup yesterday-she just blew by two defenders who weren't ready for it. It looked like a simple play, but most players would not have gotten to the rim like that. We are witnessing greatness!

And if you watch the shot closely, you will see that she shot the layup off the wrong foot. Completely amazing athleticism!

And my absolute favorite thing about that play is that after she makes the shot there's zero jumping around, zero celebration. She immediately gets right into defensive position to try and disrupt Colorado's inbound pass and does a good job of it too as it gets tipped out of bounds running almost all the remaining time off the clock.

Yes Taylee did go right into defense mode, but she was not alone. Brianne Baily was also locked in on defense and she was the one who tipped the inbounds pass out of bounds.
