I've been trying to remember the last time we had a post performance like today by Brink, with 21 points and 22 rebounds.  I presume it was with Chiney.  I don't remember McCall ever having a day like that.  Did Alana Smith ever have that kind of inside domination? 

EDIT:  Smith had a 34 point/15 rebound day against Washington State.  15 rebounds seems to have been her high.

In fact, this was a bit Chiney-like in the flow of the game.

Nice to see WSU and USC do well today too.  The Pac 12 is strong.

I was thinking the same thing, Brink's performance seemed very Chiney-like to me.  And we have been waiting for that kind of post player for a very long time.  Alanna Smith may have had high scoring games but she was always a hybrid player who maybe hit a bunch of 3's in addition to her post moves to score a lot of points.  This game was dump it into Brink and the defense could not stop her.  And a lot of the shots she missed seemed very make-able.  She could have scored a lot more.  What I also love about her game that is Chiney-like is the offensive rebounding and the ability to go up quickly with the rebound and score.  We have had a lot of posts in recent years who get the offensive rebound and be very hesitant with the ball.  Kaylee Johnson comes to mind.  Great rebounder but would always dribble the ball out and let the defense reset and we would have to grind and grind in the half court again.
