Agreed.  I will say that I was a bit dissappointed with Lou's play while watching the game.   That said, I thought she got fouled a few times that were not called that led to a TO.  And outside of having 4 more TO than Saniya their stats were similar.  Plus both played a role in the full-court press.  [B]I recognize that Saniya played a better game, not doubt,[/B] but the difference in everyone going crazy over her play vs KLS having a terrible game is interesting.   What is also interesting is Kia has zero assists, 0 rebounds and no FT attempts but nothing said of her play.

Trust me, [B]I see the games and understand that Kia is a better defender[/B].  However, what is interesting is that Lou beats her in steals by quite a bit (51 vs 32,) blocks (8 vs 3 minimal but just pointing out,) and defensive rebounds (113 vs 55.)  I realize stats do not tell the entire story but looking at defensive stats and Kia being a great defender and Lou being lousy seems someone is getting a bad wrap.

All that to say, if I were Lou I would train all summer on leg strength, agility, and jumping (pliometrics.)  I would also study tape of Pheese in rebound and post positioning.
