UConn senior Maya Moore has been taking some heat from her mother, Kathryn for her basketball accomplishments. Being too good on the court is causing Kathryn problems in her home.
Kathryn is running out of room to store Moore's trophies in the house. But, she is going to need to clear some more space as Saturday Maya became the first player in history to win the Wade Trophy as the nation's top player three times. Former LSU star Seimone Augustus (2005, 2006) and former Old Dominion star Nancy Lieberman (1979, 1980) each won the award twice. Moore is one of five UConn players to win the Wade Trophy. Rebecca Lobo (1995), Jennifer Rizzotti (1996), Sue Bird, 2002) and Diana Taurasi (2003) have also been honored with the Wade Trophy.
Moore, a four-time State Farm All-American, was also named the National Player of the Year by The Associated Press for the second time, and also earned the Lowe's Senior Class Award. Moore collected 37 of a possible 39 votes in the AP trophies race. Baylor's Brittney Griner received the other two votes. To commemorate her historical accomplishment. Moore was presented with a framed poster by Beth Bass, the executive director of the WBCA, during the Wade Trophy ceremony at the Westin hotel,
