What a superb first half.

Tara starts Lepolo, giving us 2 point guards on the floor, undoubtedly because she knew the Portland reputation to do full court press.  And by and large it has worked.  Really good practice for us.

And another excellent test--Portland has been playing an active 2-3 zone, which requires that we find ways to penetrate it and get some jumpshots.  And we have.

And Jones and Brink have been playing like the All-Americans they are. 

Every box has been checked, so far.  Really nice half.
