  1. Loved Gaston's choice to ole the defense on the runout, didn't pick up her 4th and the girl still missed the shot.
  2. Gaston's confidence in that outside shot continues to grow. A great sign. Can't leave Robertson open ladies.

No more fast break freebies. Vic said after Baylor we weren't penalized for contesting shots (unlike at Tech). Hopefully that will be the case tomorrow.
  4. After the Baylor game Vic said he didn’t press today, not one possession. Said he thought we might be better just guarding them in the half-court mainly because the Baylor guards are really good. Laughed about stopping pressing altogether. We'll see what he does on Wednesday.
  5. Rori back on the bench, thank god. Holle at the last millisecond Hells yes!
  6. 10% from three, 1 for 10. Hit a decent amount of those and we'd be fine.
