What a fabulous game! I was getting worried by the end of the first half but Tara got them to kick it into another gear coming out for the second half.
It would be easy to focus on the great offense from Brink, Jones, and Lexi, but consider that our defense held the conference's best offense to 18 points in the second half. Utah's two fab freshmen scored 2 and 3 points for the game. Utah shot only 32% and made only 17 baskets. Probably the best defensive game we've played this year, considering the opponent.
Also notable was our ball handling--only 6 TOs for the game. And our passing--18 assists on 29 made baskets.
And Jones hitting 3/4 from three point range. That will give future opponents something more to worry about.
Tara finishing it off with what Andy Landers called a "classy" interview. Just as expected.
I am proud of this team.
Happy birthday Kate!
