Megan Walker made her only 3. Thought she may get a little more leash.

Crystal so unflappable. Her mid range is money.

Collier doing alot of everything.

Kiah Stokes with a 3 but Nurse cant get her shot going

Sims isn’t ready to make any big contributions right away, so it’s looking like Dangerfield is going to keep a starting job.

That was fun. Reeve is a joy to listen too. So precise in her points. Naphessa is cool and collected. Crystal giving multiple shoutouts to UConn and Geno for preparing her with mental toughness and being level headed . Surprised she did nor wear a UConn T-shirt.

Interesting to hear Reeve say that UConn doesn't run a pick-and-roll system so they didn't know how Crystal would be able to adjust. Maybe Cheryl didn't watch a lot of Crystal other than her senior season. Or maybe Cheryl didn't ask Geno. While it's true that UConn doesn't use a pick-and-roll system, whatever that means, but UConn does indeed incorporate the pick-and-roll in its offense. How much depends on the personnel. Early in Crystal's sophomore season Geno said (as reported by Rebecca during a game broadcast) that Crystal was the best pick-and-roll decision-maker at UConn since Sue Bird. She ran it with Gabby and Pheesa as a sophomore and junior, and was especially adept at running it with Azura in the 17-18 season. The 20-21 team didn't run the pick-and-roll much because of the lack of players to run it effectively. All this is to say that Crystal's effectiveness in the pro system should not be a surprise to anyone who has watched her for her entire college career.
