When we see Brink and Betts playing together, we are seeing next year.

Why wait for next year?

I htink that this is going to be a very potent 4-5 punch for the rest of this season.
Very similar to the 6'5 BOSTON/6'7 CARDOSO post tandem for South Carolina.

 I truly believe this is part of what the doctor ordered.

Certainly it worked wonders against Arizona.  But it was not only Brink/Betts.  Belibi/Iriafen did the high/low game, and so did Prectel/Iriafen.  Demetre had 3 assists.  It seems as if Tara decided to get all of our many bigs involved in pushing high/low, and it really worked. 

I've wondered all year why we were not doing more of this.  I still wonder why it took so long.  But it does seem to be a way of beating the paint-packers that doesn't involve bombing away from three point range.

There is another factor that I think is quite important in opening up our offense--and that is simply that Jones is now consistently hitting her mid range.  She was 8/11 against Arizona, and 3/13 against USC.
