Kelly helped lockup a final four victory by stepping in front of an opposing ND player, grabbing the rebound and dribbling away, game relatively over.

Improbable, we could afix that adjective to the whole game. That Uconn got there was improbable and wonderful. That the Huskies had a legiitmate shot at winning with just a few seconds and the ball was beyond belief. Then the call. But we had no business being in that spot, and yet there we...

Okay, we played out of our minds, particularly Page. Or, we played to our abilities, you pick. I choose the latter. Somebody pinch me.

But, taller than Hildago.

Agree; she had no idea where Alya was, not looking at her, but still careless.

Recruit from Croatia? Inside Track? Oliva Vukosa 6'4", and still growing? What's not to like. A tall recruit not bound for South Carolina, Stanford and LSU? Lets get on THAT bandwagon.

Syracuse beat ND twice, guessing they had superior, disruptive bigs, controlling the boards.

Hidalgo was following her shot. She knew where the ball was going, mostly to the bottom of the net. And she must have some hops, for a 5'6' guard to get 10 rebounds. We still lose rebounds when two of our player are on the ball at the same time.

We didn't matchup well against them. The lane was open for Hildago to score at will. The few times she was blocked she was able to hit an open defender. Small Big East teams are not great preparation for skilled teams with size. Fatigue must have been a factor when ND ran away from us in the...

So nobody's surprised, nobody, saying. "suck it up Caroline. get it together'". It should not have come down to this. IMHO her vulnerability was apparent for all of us to see. Hopefully she can now heal and begin a meaningful rehabilitation, without time constraints.

Griff should use this time off to work on her midrange jumper. If Nika could put in extra time by "working her ass off" and improve, then Audrey and Amari could also benefit. Short term it's paid off for Nika. I can't believe it wouldn't benefit the other reluctant shooters.

Catch and shoot!

Kia was critical in final four wins over Notre Dame, coming off the bench to stifle any and all comebacks the Irish were attempting. They went at her, hitting her in the face a few times. She winced, but persevered, the physically superior athlete.

Is there a better way to deal with orthopedic vulnerabilities? Playing less, more time in the pool less time on the floor? There was quite a lot of info on Azzi's two knee operations in high school. A compilation of players at all colleges lost for the season or longer would be helpful...

HAVE to agree that she's a great athlete, HOWEVER, that athleticism has to acquire a repeatable jump shot, one that requires focused practice. Once accomplished she would be an all-around WNBA performer.
