A few thoughts:
1) Having Aubrey guarding Johnson in the second half was brilliant. Completely neutralized her. Probably a lesson in this for future games.
2) Brown-Turner’s 4th foul looked like a bad call, and impacted the game. It didn’t change the result, but it magnified NC St’s weaknesses.
3) Hobby played pretty well in the post, but was slow getting up and down the floor. In the second half, she wasn’t able to keep Aaliyah and Aubrey off the glass. Too tired I think. Baldwin and Collins were no better.
4) Rivers looked better than her stats suggest. But she was still a non-factor.
5) Azzi was outstanding again, and I might even call this an off shooting night, lol.
6) 15 assists?!?! Nika was tremendous.
7) Aaliyah!!!! She’s smaller than Baldwin, who reminds me a bit of Taylor Jones, but she is much quicker. Jada Boyd was the only consistent performer in their front court and even she flagged a bit in the second half. Kim Adams kept saying how fast NC St was, but they looked slow to me.
8) I hate to admit it, but after the Stanford-SC game, I think we are stuck at #3. We proved we’re competitive at the highest levels, I think. But we haven’t proven that we belong ahead of either of them. Yet.
