In case you missed it, Bridget Carleton went bonkers during Gameday 12 of EuroLeague Women, missing only four shots as she scored 41 points and led Serco UNI Győr to the upset win over Polkowice. Her 41 points are the third-most in modern EuroLeague Women history. Be sure to watch the highlights below. And then watch them again. And again. It is what pure perfection looks like.
We were fortunate to catch up with Carleton soon after her incredible performance.
What was the exact moment that you knew you were on one against Polkowice? Was it the first play of the game, when you got a steal and a three in the first four seconds? Or was the feeling growing gradually, with the flow of the game and you never got too comfortable, were always on edge?
Honestly, I didn’t have the best warmup shooting-wise, so after I hit that first shot I was able to relax a little. I got really good looks in the first half that I expect myself to knock down but I knew I was feeling really good when I hit the first shot after half time. I knew it was going to be a good day after that.
