And Rebounding Is the Key to the Running Game....

Some kind of defense enables that, too, otherwise you wouldn't have the rebounds.

But grabbing the rock and then letting it go is the key. And as Kara Lawson pointed out last night ad infinitum, Jess Shepard is the best in WCBB (WBB?) and the quick outlet pass upcourt. It's such a shame she got into foul trouble in the 2nd half because I think she would've had 20+ rebounds last night.

They should put a compilation tape together of her rebounds and outlet passes for young posts...glorious stuff to watch!

(P.S. You covered the running, but my one point there is just how well all the guards look to pass on the break. In fact, there were one or two times I thought Arike or Jackie should've taken it to the rack.)

We played some great D in the second half.....

Diving to the floor,getting hands on the ball, and making timely
steals.

NO it depends

We did not our defense was attrocious, Louisville were in foul trouble and couldn't even have their starters on the floor and we cannot even guard their bench. If I was MM I would be benching some players.

Fouls

The only response I am making is Louisville in foul trouble. We finally got a ref crew that was fair and made some calls in our favor. Does not happen often. MM and the team took advantage of their aggressive defensive play. Plus give our girls credit. They did not back down. Everyone on our team was just as physical. That is why we almost lost Jess....
