This past Monday's performance against Marquette had a familiar feel to it, to wit the 8pm start time was later than usual, and after Q1 the team lost intensity and seemed to run out of gas. I recall both the Mississippi State and ND semi-final games beginning after 9pm, and those teams being unable to generate their usual intensity near the end. Is it possible this aspect of the game is taken for granted and going unaddressed?

Nope, these guys are teenagers, except Evina who is 20 (I believe.)

Evina is 22. Anna is turning 21 in a couple of weeks. Nika is turning 20 soon. Paige will be 20 in the fall. Christyn and ONO are both in their 20s. They aren't that young.

I apologize. I would have sworn that the announcers for Monday's game said that Evina was the only player over 20 but maybe she said over 21. My hearing isn't very good so that could be the real reason for my mistake.

It is not uncommon for Europeans to arrive on campus when they’re 19 because of the structure of education in their home country.
As for Paige, she’s an October birthday and most states/schools have hard kindergarten cut offs in either August or September. Kid has to be six or wait until next year...
Nothing that unusual here...
ETA: The one thing that IS slightly unusual is how young Aubrey is. She doesn’t turn 20 until November!

I was17 my freshmen year of college and turned 18 a few months into the first semester. That's why 20 seems old to me. I turned 20 in my junior year.

The educational structure is different in every country...
