Good discussion of an ugly game.  Several other impressions:

1. A bit disappointing that Bonnie is now jerking the release on what was a sweet 3-point shot (jerked her FT release too & even the one 3 that went in was painful to watch) -- hopefully they can get that turned around.  Taylor, on the other hand, had the arc back in her shot & pretty much ended any suspense in the game during the second half.
2.  Both Sisters had several uncharacteristic fumbles of rebounds under the defensive basket -- strange to see.
3.  Agree with statement about UW's new coach McGuff -- he had team playing tough, physical game a la Xavier.  UW is likely to be formidable in future years if they get a bit more talent & depth.
4.  Nice to see Chiney step up with some emotionally aggressive, tough play at several points when it seemed like Cardinal had become uninspired & a bit timid.  It's the very necessary role that Jillian & Kayla have played in the past.
5.  Amber is looking more & more like the real thing at the point & can hopefully confirm her credentials against the most talented team the Cardinal will play before March, Cal, next Saturday.
