I was out of town for the game and only got to see the (full) replay on Sunday night. Once agaih Ann Schatz confuses Haley Jones (IIRC, she called her Hannah Jones in one of the early games this year) for Hannah Jump at the end of the 1st half ("Hannah! ... Hannah!" as Haley got the ball near the baseline with 2 seconds left and threw up a long shot.)
I see so much poor defense by Jones, I find it hard to believe others aren't seeing more than a few here and there.
For instance, 30 seconds into the game,
Q1 9:36 she's guarding #40
9:35 #40 hands off to #9(?), being guarded by Jump
9:34-9:33 #9 reverses and gets a pick & roll screen by #40; Jump follows #9 as #40 rolls.
Jones apparently is so focused on #9 she ignores the roll.
9:32 #9 goes to the center of the lane inside the foul line where #40 has an easy pass.
Jones only reacts once the pass is made.
9:31 Rather than take the open jumper, #40 takes a dribble to get closer.
9:30 Jones does get her hand up on the shot but a hair too late.
9:29 Jones does block out #40 initially while the ball is in the air.
9:28 Jones loses contact with #40 and lets her circle Jones and get a rebound at the block. Jones is well behind her.
9:27 Brink (who has been on #15) moves over to try to stop the shot.
Brink picks up a foul reacting to the player who twice got away from Jones in this possession.
At Q1 7:19, #40 and #9 again do the same pick & roll on Jones and Jump. But this time, the open #40 tried to go to the hoop, so Brink was able to leave #16 alone in the protected circle to defend the shot. You can see Jones running in from the FT line as Brink is blocking the ball.
At Q1 6:37, Jones guards the dribbling #40 as she goes to the block before passing out. But Jones is watching the ball and not her player at 6:29 as her player jumps out to the foul line area, gets the pass, and shoots, before Jones can get there. Jones never even puts her arms up. But a second later, Jones gets credit for the rebound. Sigh...
Q1 4:10, good stopping the dribbler by Jones.
Q1 3:47, Jones is watching the ball under the basket, when her player cuts past her, gets the pass, and gets a shot off before Jones can catch up. (waved off by a 3-second call, but not good D)
Q1 1:53, Jones' center-field play lets her player get a rebound away from the basket and an open shot, but I think Jones was OK to camp in the lane that time.
Q1 0:17 Jones stays in the lane as her player goes to the 3pt line. This allows Jones to defend a shot
