Let me add that I saw both Brink and Iriafen get the ball at the high post and drive through traffic to the rim.  And I saw them both pass from high to low post at other times.  There are going to be options in the high-low game when they both are in.

SO GLAD Brink was able to play and looked like the All-American that she is.  She was vocal on the court as well.  Cam needs to be our leader.

Our offense looked stagnant at times; lots of dribbling on the perimeter and little movement with players standing around.  At times, our defense seemed locked in, but other times there were mental breakdowns and the guys were open under the basket.  Concerned about rebounding.  We gave up too many offensive rebounds.  You could see how Haley's absence is going to hurt us in rebounding this season.

Demetre seems to have returned to her (solid) freshman form; playing more in the middle than on the perimeter- catching and effectively shooting her smooth turn-around jumper.  

Bosgana started.  As everyone knows, she's a streaky shooter, missing several 3-pointers early in the game, but I liked how she drove to the basket on one occasion, absorbed contact and scored.  Later, she hit some 3's.   

Impressed with Chloe Clardy's on-the-ball defense and she can handle the ball.  Ogden did not impress me at all.  It looked (at times) that she was more concerned about executing the system rather than playing loose and displaying her skill-sets.  Agree with others about Nunu.  Small at 6'2, but very physical and aggressive down low.

Coming into today's scrimmage, I projected the Cardinal would finish 4th. in the PAC-12 behind Utah, UCLA and Colorado.  Now I'm moving them down to 5th. behind USC.  Sure hope my projections are wrong, but we will have a much better picture of how good this team is after November 12th.
