Has there ever been a better Stanford WBB single game all-around performance than Lexie's tonight? Over the years, there have been 30+ point performances, triple doubles, Cam's 20-20's this season, etc. But consider what Lexie did tonight:

Offensively:
- 36 points on 21 shots (14-21)
- Made all types of shots. Finished at the rim, a bunch of mid-range/dribble pull-ups, and 6 for 11 from 3. We've had plenty of 30+ point games, but any close to that versatility?
- Perfect 2 for 2 from the line
- 3 assists and just 2 turnovers

Defensively (quite sure there's never been a better defensive performance):
- Lockdown D as always
- Diving everywhere, countless deflections (including one while on the floor), and winning every 50/50 ball
- 6 steals
- 6 boards 

I dare anyone to find a better Stanford WBB performance than that, let alone in a tournament game that was tied at half. Wow Lexie...

KU Coach Brandon Schneider agrees with you:

“Lexie just went into takeover mode, and it’s as elite (of an) offensive performance as I’ve probably witnessed in person — and the manner of which she scored in just every way possible,” Schneider said. “So a lot of credit to her and to Stanford on their performance tonight.”

Great performances are typically just measured by the production on offense - points, shooting %, etc. Pohlen's game that you pointed out was certainly one of the all time greats. But what makes Lexie's performance tonight extra-special is that she was superb on both offense AND defense. The number of deflections, loose balls, diving on the floor, tie-ups...just tremendous. No one (that I can think of) does all that on top of dropping 36.

Great points. Rewatching now, what is also impressive to me is how much Lexie works to get open on offense. Over and over she cuts in towards the basket and then pops back out to the arc, gets the pass and hits the shot. Or starts to pop out to the arc, then changes direction and cuts towards the basket for a backdoor layup. Her defenders just can’t keep up because she never stops moving.
