Not much else I can add to what has been said. Everyone, and I mean everyone, looked great. Definitely improvement by the sophs, especially Jump, who looked significantly quicker. Lexie Hull quietly had a great game. Jones is such a pleasure to watch. She can do it all. Williams was her wonderful self, did not need to do much in this one. I won't go down the list but can't think of a negative about anyone overall, really.
Loved the frosh. Cal Poly was way overmatched but I think it was more how good and deep we are than that they are that bad. They had some size inside and some talent. Emma-Nnopu was the big mystery to me, and I thought she did great. Plays very hard, rebounds very well, defends well, and showed a nice shot on that three she made. With such a deep team it may be hard for her to get the minutes she will probably deserve, but she can play. Loved Van Gytenbeek's passing and overall game. Another who can shoot. Brink was excellent after a few minutes to get settled. She has a lot of upside too. She could be even stronger with the ball when rebounding, etc. She definitely moves very well for her size and has good moves inside.
One thing is very clear - this team can pass. There were so many really good passes from all over - the guards did their share but the others did well too. When Cal Poly played zone we had no trouble finding good shots, and that was because people were aggressive, got into the lane and passed well, drove well, etc.
I am not thrilled to be playing college sports with the pandemic as it is, but if they are going to play, I am glad we got a game in and it went so well.
