Really good game for us. The focus was there from the opening tip, and we withstood and responded to that second-half surge that most good teams give you when they're down double digits at halftime and playing with an amped up sense of urgency.
It's great seeing Shalee play with more and more confidence (on both ends) as the season progresses. Sonya was lights out but ended up on the bench a lot. I think a lot of her sitting the second half was because the combination on the floor was so effective at building and maintaining a lead. Even though on paper it may not have been what we consider as our "best" lineup, it was the best during that stretch of the game. Kudos to Vic for recognizing and sticking with it.
Love it that Amina, Shae, and Jones gave us so many important quality minutes while Hadi, Gaston, and Morris were sitting. Love the way Rori caused those missed KU layups in transition.
We shared the ball exceptionally well and shot a good percentage because of that. There's still work to do in cleaning up fouls, turnovers, and free throws but I think we'll get there. Shalee had her breakout game where everything seems to be registering for her. Sonya's is coming... it's just a matter of time, and when that happens I think we are going to be really tough to deal with. I'm waiting for Mwenentanda to have hers also. But we have to continue to clean up the details because of our lack of depth in certain spots.
