A few notes from the replay.

First, in the first half Sniezek guarded Sabally on the perimeter.  That is 5'8" vs. 6'4".

Second, I thought I remembered Williams getting a block on a taller player.  She blocked McGwire!  That is 5'8" vs. 6'5"!  McGwire must bring the ball down pretty low on her perimeter shots. 

Third, I was able to focus on Hebard and saw what we did to her in the second half.  We fronted her, often with smaller players.  That is whenever she got deep into the paint we would have a quick guard get in front of her to deny the pass.  There were times when Smith or Johnson would leave Hebard to defend closer to the perimeter, and McPhee or Sniezek would be "on" Hebard.  Lob passes could have killed us.  I bet Tara saw on tape that Oregon doesn't or can't lob effectively.  If we play them in the Pac 12 tournament, I expect that Oregon will have learned how to lob.  Once though it was our bigs on her.  Kaylee and Alanna sandwiched her, effective because the person doubling came from behind where Hebard couldn't see and trapped her by surprise.
