I mean, players have bad nights, but tonight McDonald >> Buekers
McDonald had 26 points on 7/17 shooting, and was 4/9 from 3 pts and 8/11 from the line. As impressive, she had 7 rebounds. And after getting her second foul in the second quarter, she had no others.
Buekers had 18 points on 5/13 shooting, and was 2/3 from 3 and a perfect 6/6 from the line. She also had 6 rebounds and 4 assists, but 3 turnovers. To be honest, it was not a bad line, but it wasn't better than McDonald.
More importantly, Arizona's supporting cast was better than UConn's, which nobody expected. In particular Nelson-Ododa had a night to forget: 0/7 with 1 point, 1 turnover, and 3 fouls, despite (I believe) being the biggest player on the floor. Hell, she was outrebounded by McDonald, who was the smallest.
