Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2659612, member: 6620"] Gosh, it looked pretty basic to me. Since the Irish were playing man-to-man defense largely, they were boxing out and going for the ball after the shot went up. All of Mabrey's 7 rebounds were defensive, the second most on the team (and she was chasing Oregon's 3-pt. specialists). But the individual who took this most to heart was wing Jackie Young, who had 9 defensive boards and 4 offensive for a total of 13. And she was on Ionescu most of the 2nd half, to boot. Jessica Shepard had 9 rebounds, although it seemed like more, and six of those were offensive. I just think she beat Hebard to and on the boards, something Hebard -- to her credit -- alluded to in the post-game press conference. Westbeld was also solid on the defensive boards (7), but she's always good at good old-fashioned boxing out. [/QUOTE]
