My first in-person game this year and you really do get an experience that is different from watching on TV. My favorite moment was late in the 4th quarter when Maya went way way up for either a pass or offensive rebound. It really seemed like she was high enough to dunk it. So fun to see that in person. Other nice takeaways (other than making 3 point shots!!!), 1) Really nice to see Kiana hit her floater/runner in the lane. She has attempted it several time so it's a regular shot for her but I don't recall seeing one go in. We really haven't had a guard with that shot in a long long time. It's a very versatile weapon because if you don't have that shot then defenders know you are going to drive for a layup and you become easier to defend (like Sniezek is when she drives). And 2) Someone said that Alexa's mid-range jumper is very pretty and I agree. It just looks solid and like it's going in all the time. Hope to see more of that from her and see her develop a full offensive arsenal. Plus I agree she is a really good defender with nice speed and length.
