Impressions:

1.  The second half was a whole lot more fun to watch than the first.  We wound up with 6 in double digits, and all 12 of our players scored.  ALL TWELVE SCORED.  I can't remember either of those two things ever happening since I have been watching. 

2. Our free throw shooting was 79%.  That is a massive improvement over last year.

3. Turnovers were only 10.

4. 25 assists on 40 made baskets--outstanding.

5. Our only downside was mediocre defense.  In the first half we left the perimeter open too much.  In the fourth quarter we were so far ahead that we seemed to have eased up. 

6. The biggest concerns coming in were Williams's and Lexie's offense.  But they both came alive tonight.  Let's hope it continues.

7. Any opponent looking at this box score will be terrified.  All five starters with 14 points or more.  There will be no scouting report defense against that.

8. 22 O-boards certainly helped.  The rebounds were nearly even at the half--we got much better at rebounding in the second half.

9. I am becoming a Brink believer.  Really excellent tonight.

Now on to USC and UCLA next.  Our first genuine tests.
