Thiugh I will say 14 on their end has been extremely physical and has kept Alex from having much freedom of movement in the paint. Not coincidentally, she also had 4 fouls with 8 minutes to play....
I'm not sure how it might have influenced her play, but Eschmeyer was the 2nd. post (off the bench) behind Stevenson. In the first two games, Alex and Mary Ashley came off the bench together. In her defense, Eschmeyer posted up multiple times and never got a pass, but when she moved to the high post (and got the ball), she elected to pass and not take her defender off the dribble. She just didn't seem that aggressive today. We need Alex's aggressiveness on the road trip coming up, and frankly, we need her scoring if we are going to beat WSU and Gonzaga.
