That two-minute possession where Marta twice ran down the clock, we twice missed, and we twice got the o-board, was a textbook example of when a defense needs to press and be aggressive even if it risks a foul. They tried it once unsuccessfully around the 9 minute mark in the fourth and Marta handled the trap brilliantly, and then they seemed to back away from it.

Marta pretty much did a 180 dribbling out and through that trap.  I was thinking she was in trouble and just like that she was clear.  That was amazing -- I don't think I'd seen any ball handler do that move.

The video press conference with Kelly Graves is worth watching:

I've always thought he was a classy coach going back to Gonzaga days.  He and Tara seem to have a good relationship.  He was gracious in defeat, says some nice things about Kaylee and Britt, and explains what they tried and failed to do to stop us.
