That was the game when a husky USC post player kept intentionally undercutting her. It was the game that Nadia got knocked down a few times and didn’t get up after the last jolt to the knees.
It has been fun watching Nadia play so effectively this season though, and especially, seeing her enjoy the game so much!
Nadia was injured in the Pac-12 conference opener January 4, 2019, almost exactly a year ago. That must be what Tara meant by "this game last year." You're right that the opponent was USC.

It has been a long road getting her back but the WSU game was the first she really looked like she was playing aggressively again. Think she could have made a lot more threes if our guards looked for her on the pick and roll (out to the 3 point line). The defense never went out with her and she was asking for the ball. Really great to have her back.
