One thing I will say is that after a pretty slow start the subs came in and changed the feel of the game. I know Dorka missed shots and blew a layup but she did have a great assist and the offense looks different when she's out there. The spacing is just different. I think many have said throughout the season she sometimes struggles finishing. She may have gaphes but as long as she stays confident and plays hard I don't mind her getting minutes.
I also loved the pass from PB on Caroline's first basket, just a beautiful lob that Caroline caught then finished in traffic. I really like when they r on the court together. I think Geno was probably a bit concerned with some of CDs turnovers in the second half. I would like to see her play a bit more however.
I have some concerns but the team played well overall. ONO deserves the game ball in my opinion. I was concerned after IUs first possession, it was just like a str8 post up and Mackenzie Holmes showed y she's Mackenzie Holmes. But overall our defense inside was pretty good. One thing I've been seeing is that with Paige at point sometimes the game slows down a bit too much. Credit IUs point for playing her 94 ft, I'm sure Paige will continue to see that throughout the tourney. I feel like even in the second half they started walking the ball up off misses a bit too early. That's y I like Nika playing alongside Paige or CD playing with PB cause they both play with great tempo
