Game 2, sc vs Utah assessment. I was pretty impressed with Utah. Alissa Pili.. I stan. 37 points and she was in foul trouble for much of the game. She is so skilled. I guess it's obvious from her free throw and 3pt shooting percentages but she really has a nice touch. For sure she gets blocked a couple times because of size but all of the south Carolina bigs had problems with her. I was also encouraged by their "others". McQueen, Viera and Young played great. If they get Isabel Palmer back they can still compete at a high level. Like potentially get to a final four.
I thought South Carolina played well. It was probably Raven Johnson's first bad game of the season but mostly everyone that played, played well. I loved that kitts took a couple jump shots and knocked them down. I thought Watkins came in and played well. Then I think Paopao was pretty great down the stretch. Her last bucket Dawn yelled for her to get the ball and then she went into a pick and roll and hit a tough floater. I knew Fulwiley is good and Dawn has said some high praise things. Seeing her in person, I get it more. She stands out on a team with a lot of great players.
Having seen UCLA just a couple hours before, SC may be the second best team in the country, respectfully.
