I love that when the ball goes up, she is looking for the best rebounding position instead of loitering fifteen feet away or taking off for the other end. She even boxes out, which you don't see all that often.

At least she keeps the ball moving when it comes to her on the offensive end.

Of course she is in the game when the outcome has already been decided

I think Nixon and Prohaska shouldn't hesitate either - at least in cleanup time.

I can understand the reticence to pull the trigger when they're on the floor with the starters, particularly from outside. But when they're on the second team and/or with the walk-ons, put it up!

ND has plenty of scorers that can bring it from the paint or the perimeter. The D needs to get tighter and she can provide a spark there while not being turnover prone on offense.

I don't know whether MM thought Dani P. was more suited to match up against VT's personnel (a bit quicker, smaller front line) than Mik or whether it was due to performance in the last game/practice, but she got the call for first big tonight. Paid off. Well done.

Ditto for Abby. Four steals.
