The strength of our team this year has been its versatility.  We won some games by hitting 15 treys.  We won some games by backdoor cuts.  This game we won with defense.  And it was ugly.  But it was a win.

That last stop of McDonald was not lucky, it was good defense.  And as awful as our offense looked--have we had a worse offensive game this year?  We nevertheless played one of our best defensive games.  McDonald was 5/20, and only 1/11 from inside the arc.  We successfully schemed her into a very mediocre offensive player.  The trouble was, Arizona did the same to Williams.  But Jones Brink and Lexie gave us just enough. 

We nearly lost up on fouls, though.  Arizona had 13 points off free throws, Stanford had 2.  Thank goodness McDonald missed 4 of her 12 free throws.
