Williams makes a desperation heave that hits the rim, Haley gets the offensive rebound but is under the basket without a shot, so she dribbles out a step and makes a blind reverse layup over her right shoulder. She missed the free throw that would have made it a three point play, but there ought to have been a panel of judges awarding her extra points for that circus shot.
Haley Jones is young and raw, but her offensive creativity is everywhere to be seen. It is going to be a special four years to watch her.
We did not need her scoring prowess in our three blowout victories, but in the third quarter, when we were struggling offensively with cold shooting and a disjointed offense, I was thinking that Haley needed to show why she was the #1 recruit in the country and create her own offense and she did just that.
Kiana and Lexie might have finished with more points, but it was Haley's baskets, particularly that amazing shot you described, that kept us in the game.
Also, the missed free throw led to an offensive rebound, which eventually led to a score, for a four point possession. Had she not missed the foul, we likely would have lost in regulation by one point (all else being equal).
