McPhee led with 26 points on 10/16 but played only 27 minutes.  Particularly important, on several occasions when the clock was running down she was the player who had to make something happen.  She would drive and collect a foul, for example. 

She also made a crazy shot to beat the clock at one point, a sort of hook heave from near the top of the key. It was her night for sure. Hope she has a lot more like it.

Just watched the DVR. That was fun, despite frustrating miscues. May we have many more games like this!

Did you notice how Canada was bodying her up while she was making that shot?  When you watch the McPhee highlights reel notice how many times Canada was actually fouling McPhee with her little body while McPhee converted--and Canada got away with it about three times earlier in the game.  Finally, she got called for it with only 2:53 left in the game-- and McPhee converted a three point play.  I noticed this about Tennessee too--the refs routinely let defenders whack shooters with their whole bodies so long as they don't use their arms.  I guess that being able to score at this level means that you need to be able to shoot through that level of contact.

Also notice that on that 2:53 shot that it was Fingall who fed her the crisp assist, and that Fingall followed up by crashing the paint for a possible O-board.  Fingall really was playing well.

Did not really notice it watching the first time through, but you're right the refs allowed a lot of lower-body contact without calling them until late in the game. Thanks for pointing it out. And for the highlight reel!  8)
