Quick thoughts before dinner:
Have we ever had a more comprehensively dominant offensive player than Jones? We've had better outside (Wiggins) and inside (Appel and the Ogwumike-x2), but I can't recall someone with such a well rounded game, let alone this early in her career. And our bigs needed the Triangle and some help from the point guard to make their shots, whereas Jones often does it all on her own. A revelation!
As for the rest: solid games from the rest of her classmates: each of Belibi, Prechtel and Jump had some nice contributions.
The other three classes went a combined 8-40. And I'm starting to worry Williams' late season slump last year had continued and can't just be attributed to overuse. She seems markedly less aggressive than she used to be, and her shots really haven't been falling. Hopefully she can iron this out, because against good teams, we can't afford 1-12 outputs from our honorable mention All-American...
Lots of "teachable moments" from this game for the seniors, juniors, and frosh. Sophomores should be exempt from push-ups on practice this week! :D
