Late to this after a weekend at a conference. Terrific to see so many contributors. Encouraging to see Marta take 5 shots, even if she didn't make most of them. If Marta can become just a little bit more of a credible threat outside, it will really open up our offense, and it sounds like she's already become a terrific ball distributor and play maker. And yeah, if Bri can keep this up (or even just avoid the oh-for nights), our backcourt looks more promising than I would have thought.

Really pumped the Fingall is coming out fast and furious. Having her alongside Kayl and Bird gives us some options in the frontcourt and also means we can sub in and out more confidently to keep players fresh.

And I agree with Farm07, this feels like our deepest team in at least a decade. Part of that is because we don't have any superstars right now, so the trade-off from our #1 to our #6 isn't as steep, but it also feels like we have a lot of players who can run hot on a given night, which I hope makes our team less predictable for opposing teams. Truly the opposite of our Ogwumike sister years, esp. when we had only Chiney, where it was triangle offense and everyone trying to get the ball to Chiney inside. At a minimum, I think this team will be a lot more fun to watch.

Excited for Monday.
