That was indeed satisfying.  That foul when Bird was shooting was very clearly a foul.  No idea why anyone would doubt that.  ASU rebounds very well due to hard work and positioning but also because they mug whoever gets ahold of the ball and steal it away with the refs allowing it.  Karlie had a superb game.  When a player does what she did - step up and play well in all aspects of the game and be the go to shooter, it lifts the whole team.  Nice minutes inside from Fingall, who I'm sure learned a lot.  Facing ASU for the first time is an eye opener.  I thought Smith played well also, and Carrington made the most of her minutes.  Marta did not make every drive and I think she can finish better, but I liked that she kept at it and made some key ones in the second half.
