Strange sort of game. Three quarters of mostly mediocre defense and so so offense, and one last quarter where Brink and Jones dominated and we crushed them going away. I think using Emma-Nnopu on a player like Horston is a better use of her than against quick, smaller point guards. Emma-Nnopu is very tough and physical but not super quick. She can be a tough defender but I like it more when she is deployed against a 2 or a 3 who is not tiny and fast.
Brink had a fantastic game. those late blocks were great. Jones had a great game also, and ran the point very, very well in the4th quarter. This was I think Lepolo's worst game, the first where she looked a bit lost, a freshman game, if you will.
Rebounding was very good. Turnovers were not that great but at least not terrible. We did not turn them over enough. TN has been a TO machine in some games. Not today.
Not a great shooting day all around. Interesting that Demetre got so much time considering her shots were not falling. Her defense is looking better. I still wish we saw more of Betts and Nivar, and something from Bosgana. We are not getting enough from our very deep bench in these big games. That needs to change.
