I think so much of our game depends on three point shooting.  It is not just that the three point shots are nice, but that they open up the floor for all kinds of movement.  When defenders have to guard the three point line closely, it makes all those interior passes more successful and less likely to be deflected.  And guess what?  We hit three times as many treys in the first half as in the UCLA game total.  No wonder things are working better!

When defenders have to come out to defend 3-point shots, there is more room inside for our own offensive rebounds (esp. the shooter can often rebound better than her defender).  We could have used that against UCLA;.

68-47 after Q3.  We let them back in for a while, and then got back up enough to start subbing more.
