That was a very impressive 3 game run the team put together. So many high points but the biggest surprise was probably Anna Wilson’s game vs Oregon. Man, she was all over Ionescu. Maya was awesome…I loved that block to open the game. Alanna had a couple of good blocks too.
There are so many great comments and observations on this thread. I am glad the Hebard hip check was mentioned. She was doing it all game. The other violation never called is the Ionescu ball carry. She gets a brobdingnagian advantage because during her dribble she will put her hand completely under the ball and hold it there for a second. Normally that is an indication that the player has ended her dribble, but quite often she will then restart her dribble and change direction or drive to the basket. The announcers always talk about what a great move she has, but they know it is illegal. She is an extremely talented player, but I don’t enjoy watching her.
I don’t think it matters what region we end up in, it will be a tough road. There are so many good teams throughout the country now. I believe there is a pretty good argument for us to go to Portland as a 2 seed (as opposed to Oregon if they are a 2). We split with Oregon and we beat Baylor. No one else has done that.
