It's likely that play in the first half may have gone through her mind when she made her move to go to the basket in OT. Most of the players on the court were bunched together along the right sideline. The left side of the lane was wide open. If she had pulled the ball out and dribbled around for several seconds waiting for a last second shot opportunity, the MSU defense would have had a chance to get reset and balanced, with some defenders in the lane, making any attempt to drive to the basket much more difficult. She saw the defense way out of balance and saw an opportunity to exploit it for a drive and possible layup or foul, catching MSU totally off balance on D. There was nothing wrong with her decision under those circumstances. She saw a chance to drive all the way to the basket for a layup or foul, or possibly both. She took it. The fact it didn't work out doesn't make it the wrong decision, under the circumstances. [/QUOTE]
