Brink's last night was fabulous, so looking forward to her development. That stat line for the Wednesday game is stunning, and it leaves out the steal that she had. But what really impresses me about her is how aggressive she is in going after the ball on a rebound -- confidence that it belongs to her and it's going to be hers and she's not going to let the opposing player take it away. She just doesn't quit.

Asked in an interview, "what is your best skill," Brink answered, "my mentality."  Something to the effect of a killer instinct.

That mentality shows up in her play -- and not just the killer instinct. She's just plain strong mentally, as well as physically despite the, to me, seemingly too thin body. And aside from the occasional ooops like the one last night, she always seems to  be very aware of what's going on around her, including where both her teammates and opponents are. That's why she gets the rebounds as well as being able to make the assists.

In the first half, Brink looked like the best player on our team.  Better than Jones.  And better than Lexie who was shooting lights out.  But then she sort of disappeared a bit in the second half.  Both Brink and Jones have the talent and ability to be all time greats at Stanford.  But to reach that level, you have to deliver all game, each and every night.  Best Stanford player to do that in my mind was Chiney Ogwumike.  She knew she had to lead the team each and every night and she did.

I think that Wiggins has to be in the conversation about "deliver all game, each and every night." She, too, was a real leader
