Arizona impressed me today. They are better than I thought they were. They did hit shots, maybe more than they normally do, but a very dangerous team nonetheless. As for the game:

- Give it up for Jana! Unreal shooting. I think Jump is a better all around 2 guard, but I could totally see Jana backing her up and getting even more PT in games where Hannah isn't shooting it well or when we need more ball handling.
- Give it up for Brink. Holy $H!t, what a game.
- Give it up for Anna. 40 minutes and a really nice job on Sam Thomas.
- Give it up for our team winning the rebounding battle. Not just Cam, but Haley, Lacie, and Lexie. Definitely a win in the toughness column.
- Give it up for Coach TVD. You don't win games like that without some great decisions and adjustments throughout.

- I also have to give it up for Reese. Those 3 threes in a row in the third quarter kept them in the game. Those were so timely - I felt like we were close to blowing it open. 

- They killed us with that mid-range pick and pop. They must have made 6 or 8 of those throughout the course of the game. Cam helps off to stop the drive and no one else was rotating over to pick up the screener. I think that might have been by design as we didn't want to leave their best shooters open for threes, but we had no answer for that. Pellington and Yeaney are so strong attacking the basket, it just makes it tough to defend.

- I'm probably in the minority here, but once again I very much liked the aggressive play the refs allowed. All the players got to battle and leave it out there on the court. That could have been a 50 free throw game. That said, 2 of Brinks fouls were ridiculous: The one at the end on Pellington and the screen out on the perimeter. The players were all laughing at that one, right on the court. And that phantom moving screen call on Haley. Blechhh.
