great post, jacko!
speaking of lexie, did anyone already post the all-final-four team? it's haley, lexie, bueckers, aari, and zia cooke.

I have no doubt she earned it with her contributions in all the big and little things she does in so many aspects of the game across each of our tournament games. Some of what she does is subtle and a lot of it doesn't show up in the box score, but between her competitive drive and incredible situational basketball IQ I was really impressed by her tournament (even though she has showcased all these skills during the course of the regular season)
One a totally rational basis, I might have voted for Lexie over Haley. Two factors would likely have changed my vote. First, Haley's late scoring was clearly pivotal in our victory against Arizona and, second, I just cannot get out of my mind those 7 (?) driving layups Lexie missed yesterday. It seems like she just doesn't completely "get" how to use the backboard on those shots. I hope she tries 10,000 of those shots with someone in her way over the summer. I think Lexie is a great player--absolutely no disrespect intended--but if she can get those driving shots to fall at a significantly higher rate, she will be a scoring machine.
I almost can't believe I will only get to see Lexie and Lacie play one more year for the Cardinal.
