True, although that said, the best players find a way to score even against tough defenses. And despite her rocky end to conference play, Bird had two stretches after conference play began where she scored at least 10 points per game for 10 straight games (which I'll define as evidence of being a consistent scoring threat): once her junior year and once last year. Chiney scored 10+ point in every single game her senior year, and every game but one her junior year. Those are our only consistent 10+ game double figure scorers since Nneka graduated.

And I think that's why we've had such up and down success since Chiney graduated - without reliable, go to scorers, in tight games we've often not been sure who we can count on to get us points. McPhee, this season, has been the closest thing we've had. And not incidentally, McPhee is on an eight-game streak at 10+. If she can score 10+ at Washington and Washington State, she'll join that club. (If, woofing gods, I said if!)
