Was frustrated by our rebounding but our highly effective defense of fronting Crooks put us at a disadvantage for rebounding because we were already behind her and were fairly easily boxed out for rebounds.  Like the coaches, I'll take that tradeoff.  I wish our guards were more aggressive in hunting rebounds on some of the longer bounces.  However, Iowa State's 12/20 shooting from 3 didn't offer as many long rebounds as one would expect.  

Relieved to have survived a sub-par game by Brink and atrocious officiating.  Kiki put the team on her back and refused to let us lose.  Love that Demetre came through with some clutch shots to keep Iowa State from grabbing the momentum to close the game and in OT.  Survive and advance.

Someone mentioned the inbounding play by Tara at the end of regulation.  Not sure if that was sarcasm but I don't recall her calling that play where all 4 players to receive the ball are lined up along the sideline.  It was new and created an easy inbound at the end of the game.  We got a decent shot by Kiki that didn't drop but it was a great inbound and play diagram that gave us a chance to win.  Kudos to the coaches.  

Cheers,
