dijonai was high scorer at 13 (no one else had over 8), high rebounder, and quite visibly the only player who could beat the oregon zone. dijonai had zero personal fouls. she has scored 30 points in games this season. yet, dijonai played only 21 minutes. 5 of her teammates played 25 minutes or more (including both hulls, who totaled 6 points between them).  tara kept subbing her out to get an extra (ineffectual against oregon) hull twin on the floor. imo a rather stubborn, mis-guided roster choice.

I do wonder what Tara was thinking--I don't say that in a pejorative way--I really wonder.  I suppose it was something on defense she was trying to achieve.  But you are right that D was our most effective player.  Not only that, when the game got out of hand, D just looked like she kept playing hard and putting out max effort.  I think everyone else began to look flat.
