At 4:15 to play in the 3rd Q, four of our players have 8 points, another has 9, and another has 6. That's what I call spreading out the scoring.

This conference is crazy. On any given day . . .
That is crazy. Utah may have figured out how to guard Watkins who takes 30 shots a game. She's fantastic, but...
We have a 20 point lead after 3 quarters.

Betts is a great offensive rebounder, she is averaging 3.9 a game. But guess what, Iriafen is averaging a staggering 4.1 offensive rebounds a game. In the past we've been able to manage multiple "All American" level posts but in today's world where transferring is so easy and NIL is real money, I also don't blame Betts for transferring. She's good enough to start almost anywhere but that wasn't guaranteed at Stanford with Brink and Iriafen.

Yep, she was the #1 recruit but wouldn't start until her junior year. She had to transfer, imo. Too bad because we could really use her next year. Who is our other big next year? Nunu?

So great to see Kiki come through vs Oregon State (which is now ranked #25). Assuming Cam comes back soon, this may be a blessing in disguise as the team has learned to win without Cam when it needs to. Plus Kiki has demonstrated she can lead the team (good for both this year and next). Her confidence this year is extraordinary. She's even hitting 3s now!
