So as I think about the game I am puzzled.  What happened to the Colorado defense after the first quarter? 

Yes, I know we changed some personnel and yes I know we adjusted, but it also seems to me that Colorado could not sustain its defensive intensity.

I've seen that before in previous years--a team plays us very tight in the first quarter when they are fresh and dialed-in, but then the game will revert to something more normal.  Did Colorado just come out so intense and fired-up that they could not keep it up for 4 quarters?

Colorado scored fewer point every quarter.

We scored more points every quarter.

You might almost think we were the team used to the elevation and not Colorado.

While I am asking questions, what happened to Lexie, who was 0/8?  Who was defending her, and was Colorado doing anything special on her?
